Police want to question Pacman Jones about triple shooting in Vegas

Re: Anyone else hearing Pacman Jones-Vegas rumors?

I figured it was a story that would pop tonight and tomorrow, and be all over the news ... so why not help out any NFL folks who may be interested?

You never know ... maybe the Tennessee papers that cover the Titans can squeeze it into the paper.

I had googled the hell out of it, and came up empty.

 

If it wasn't confirmed, TBL, why the hell did you run it as if it were an official blow-by-blow account?

 

Not like he didn't make every disclaimer he could about it, though. Pretty obvious this was all hearsay ... until the NFL confirmed.

But he wasn't pulling this out of thin air, it seems.

 

Yeah, like Ohio State treads on the moral higher ground. I forgot how proud OSU must be of Clarett, but I guess he did win them a title.

 

What he said.

 

But if you purport to do journalism, you describe something about your sources without directly identifying them. "Las Vegas is buzzing about..." does not qualify.

 

Mr. All Caps is my new fave

 

Just moved on the wire:

"One eyewitness said Pacman seemed to be under the influence of some type of drug which, when ingested, caused him to run around trying to eat fellow partygoers, several of whom were unable to escape. The effect was short-lived, however, he allegedly consumed a number of these suspicious pills at various times throughout the evening. It's believed he may have been accompanied by a female whose identity is unknown, although she was reportedly wearing a large and distinctive red bow on the top of her head.

"The only evidence of Pacman's rampage was several sets of googly eyeballs, all of which were scampering back to some sort of regeneration chamber. The known victims have been tentatively identified as Blinky, Pinky, Inky and Clyde, last names unknown...more on this as the story unfolds."

;D

 

Exceedingly well done.

 

I might have to retract how dumb I thought the Las Vegas' 'gangbanger' and 'hip-hopper' comments were.

 

Just a hunch, but this story isn't going away because Pacman claims to not be involved (though he admits to being there). I have a feeling there will be some more news breaking on this topic in the coming days.

If i were an editor at the Tenn paper, I might even send someone out to Vegas to poke around.
