Jones suffered "scratches"? Clearly Joey Porter is not familiar with the rules of fight club.

You just don't expect this from someone like Joey Porter.

We imagine Levi splitting when Porter wanted him to double down, and that just showed a total lack for Joey, and it all went downhill from there.

Joey's dogs don't appreciate the incomplete sentence and will kill your horse.

Scratches? What were Joey's dogs doing in the casino?

We can't wait until Porter gets to Miami...

you and me both, Will. you and me both

Jones, who suffered scratches

I know two miniature horses in heaven who whinny derisively at your pain. Be glad he didn't sic his dog on you.

Full Contact Blackjack?

Jones caught Porter's dogs counting cards. Naughty naughty, Joseph.

Jeez, there was only one comment when I posted, but two people still beat me to the joke.

Upon re-reading, I now understand that this can be taken many ways. I could see where Levi's performance issues could enrage Joey.

I would have loved to see the pit bosses try to get in the middle of that fight.

I wonder if this happened on the main floor or at the blackjack tables in the Playboy Club there...

Joey is a huge fan of the intimate earlier Celine Dion, especially The Colour of My Love. Levi prefers the theatrical later Celine Dion, represented by One Heart and Miracle. Clearly, they can never be friends.

New shirt for 289 to conjure up - "I played blackjack with Joey Porter, and all I got where these catfight scratches."

"What are you talking about, look at all the beautiful babies?"

"Beautiful babies don't work the midnight to 6AM shift on a fucking Wednesday night only skanks work then, this place is dead."

At least it wasn't Smoot asking him to double-down. Yeowch.

Hey, being a Steelers fan, I don't really need to be embarassed about this stuff anymore. It's kinda nice, actually.

Aw, Joey. You don't want all that fuckin' Pirates of the Caribbean horseshit or the rock-n-roll grunge. Guys like you and me gotta kick it here, old school.

What? Levi Jones is a Bengal; shouldn't he have been arrested by default?

and all I got where these catfight scratches."

Me fail English, etc...

You just can't come out to the 50, split on 10s, and expect Joey to let it go.

How much you wanna bet that no one is going to de-cry the NFL's "Thug Image" after this little incident? Any takers??

@TheStarterWife:

I would've paid to see any of the Maloof brothers get in the middle of that fight.

Fixed.

@44 in a Row: Perhaps you'd be a little more comfortable at one of our lower stakes tables?

After the fight was broken up and things cooled down a little bit, Joey Porter said, "Well I must admit, cards aren't my bag, baby."

6pm huh. Nothing like a little day drinkin' to make it a quick night.

No, no - the real problem is that they were staying in the "Real World" suite, and that place just has bad karma.

Pacman sez, "No Comment".

@BigTenObsession: Trishelle disagrees.

What?

Robert Barone's Dog - You know there was only one place in the Palms where this whole thing should have ended. And that place is...

Rain.

I just love the fact that Joey takes these on-field grudges out into the real world, no matter the circumstance. I will now pray that the Dolphins sign Jerramy Stevens.

+ 1 Andie

I can't wait for the TurdWatch update.

@SlickBomb: People are too afraid to go there, since Pacman's still on the loose.

wocka wocka wocka gunshots.

Never split a winning hand bitch

This is why I stick to slot machines.

I guess they weren't playing at a table that offers Surrender.

You know, they say that you can judge a dog's character by the behavior of his man. If that's true, then Joey's dogs are pretty shitty human beings.

Joey, you are now a Dolphin. You're going to have to curtail the trash talking. Seriously. We haven't been the playoffs in 5 years.

@claude balls:

Ron Artest's dogs would beg to differ, but they're too hungry to do so.

He then proceeded to smash Don Rickels in the face with a rotary phone.

TSW - I haven't been, yet.

when's the last time a bengal has been a VICTIM of anything? don't think the jury will believe that one. sorry, levi jones but your reputation precedes you. you shouldn't have tried to head butt joey porter's fist. shame on you.

Let's not be too hasty to judge. One of them might have stayed on a 16 with a high card up for the dealer. I'd never convict anyone for going postal under those circumstances.

Honestly, though, Levi Jones shouldn't even have been in there, that late in the game.

I leave for Vegas in 11 days, and I am beginning to think I might be safer staying in Detroit and going to the casinos here.

Oh yeah, and Scoop Jackson is currently finishing up the article where he blames this fight on the white media and Jason Whitlock.

Joey Porter dislikes sitting in a semi-circle.

@Land of Os(borne): I dig that you came on here just to add a Hedburg reference. That rules, +1.

@rombuu: This has to be one of my biggest Vegas peeves. Whether or not someone sitting ahead of your position at the table takes a card or not, it does not appreciably change your odds in a multiple deck shoe. The whole "taking the dealer's bust card" is complete bullshit. There is just as much chance that the a player will improve the odds by taking a small card.

If you don't want other players screwing with your game, go play at an empty table. Of course, my odds of survival would subtantially decrease if I said that to Porter.

I read this wrong, right? The guy who started the fight is the Bengal, not the dolphin. Joey Porter aside, it has to be that way. How do I know this? Because the universe has not imploded on itself since I woke up.

@ExSquire:

Rationally I know what you are saying is correct. I am also sure that I only remember the cases where someone "takes" the dealers bust card, and I'm a lot less likely to remember the cases where the dealer busts because the guy on 3rd base didn't play it "correctly". I actually do believe that people should play their cards how they like.. but its one thing at a $5 table and another when I'm betting $100 / hand.

Also, if I was completely rational I wouldn't in the damn casino in the first place.

Having said that, I'm in Vegas Apr 4th - 7th! Who hoo!

So when do the police question Pac-man Jones?
