A few things Nashville

My new favorite thing here is a column in "The Nashville Scene" weekly paper. The title of the column is "Ask a Mexican". It's awesome - and I'm being serious - it deals with stereotypes on both sides in a witty yet serious manner. I'll share some with you at some point but not up to typing it out today..but you can find it online by going to http://www.nashvillescene.com/ and under the Columns tab you'll find this week's column - discussing Mexican/Canadian relations.

For the record - this Pacman Jones BS that's going on down here - is just that - BS. This guy has been investigated or otherwise in trouble with the law on at least 12 different occasions since signing with the Titans back in 05 or 06. He's suspended for the rest of the year and was told to stay away from strip clubs and other clubs and places where he might get into trouble - and apparently he can't stay away.

He should be banned from life from playing football period. And since he can't seem to stay out of trouble when he goes to a strip club he ought to be banned from them as well.

Evidently one his latest incidents involved beating up a stripper who started to grab the money "raining from the sky" before it all had settled to the floor. According to a girl at work it's cool in the world of the rich and lawless to rain money down in strip clubs but the rule is that the strippers have to wait until the money settles before grabbing it. Apparently this girl didn't follow the rules and got beat up as a result. Now I don't know if the story is true or not but it's disturbing to think that it might be. I do know that this guy has had more than his share of run ins with the law and I honestly don't think it's because the police are trying to catch him doing wrong - he just has a knack for it. This week alone he's wanted for questioning in Atlanta for a strip club shooting thing and posted bail in Vegas for something else. The guy gets around.
