Is it just me, or how can the Pacman Jones story be all over the news and nobody — nobody — is seeing the comic possiblity here? His bodyguard was in the john “making it rain” and Pacman busted him up? If I were Pete Delkus and I were forecasting precipitation, I’d be on the lookout for Pacman Jones.

Wasn’t there a fight in the bar of the Ritz during its opening months? Now the Joule has celebrity brawl just days after it opened. Is this a new type of launch event for hotels?
