Joey Porter Fight Club

So, Joey Porter beat the crap out of Levi Jones at a blackjack table at the Palms.

Two lingering questions:

1) Levi Jones plays for the Bengals. You're telling me when the cops showed up, they didn't just arrest Jones out of habit? I mean, when you have two black men in the room, you make it hard enough for the cops to instantly decide who's guilty, but you had to involve a Cincinnati Bengal as well? I'm surprised Jones didn't get tasered within the first 30 seconds of his statement to Vegas police.

2) What were they arguing about? Maybe Levi Jones hit on a 14 when the dealer was showing a 6? Is Jones the type of guy who splits 10's? Did Jones make a joke about the painting of dogs playing poker with a miniature horse as the dealer? These all seem realistic, but I tend to believe they were arguing over their favorite Air Supply album. Porter strikes me as the kind of guy who will defend the studioized glamor of the Lost in Love album, while Jones is more interested in the thoughtful later work of News From Nowhere.

These are the types of disagreements amongst adults that tend to come to blows.
