Cleveland police had to break up a "near riot" in front of the House of Blues last night, that ended with Buffalo Bills defensive back Donte Whitner on the wrong end of a taser.

Whitner and Ginn (who currently plays for the Dolphins) were teammates at both Glenville High School in Cleveland and at Ohio State, and both were in town for Ginn's birthday bash. At some point, several fights broke in the street in front of the club and that's when things got a little nutty.

Officers denied Whitner access to the area when he attempted to force his way past the officers in an aggressive manner, police said.

"Whitner began swinging his arms in a violent manner and, when restrained by officers, he broke free and took a fighting stance. An officer then deployed his Taser on Whitner, debilitating him enough that officers were able to place him in handcuffs," police stated.

Ahh, yes. Swinging your arms violently at cops always ends well. Whitner is currently enjoying his stay at the Cleveland City Jail on aggravated disorderly conduct and resisting arrest charges. Yet another reason to never go to the House of Blues, ever.

Buffalo's up next, and... I dunno. I don't really have a lot to say about Buffalo. No one on ESPN does, either, apparently. They can't stop talking about Leinart and Cutler. Not a word about the Bills or their needs yet. Maybe there's just no one there to talk about, and they don't know where to start.

MDS, what the hell's going on here?

8. Buffalo Bills: Donte Whitner, DB, Ohio State
Has Marv Levy, the new Buffalo Bills GM, has gone senile at age 80? We searched mock drafts far and wide and never saw anyone project Whitner as a Top 10 pick. Lions GM Matt Millen will have a hard time in the next few minutes making a more bizarre pick than this one.
