(You can see its official Web site right here.) This week, the club closed. Looking at that Web site, and realizing it was in Indianapolis, it's not difficult to figure out why.

O'Neal's business partners said the place is not permanently closed, and is just being retooled, "redone." And rumors are circling as to how the club will be constructed.

What are they gonna turn the club into? Well ... it's Indianapolis. You can probably guess. Yep, Jermaine O'Neal's fancy, sleek, "Web site that plays the Miami Vice theme song" club is rumored to be becoming ... a country western club. Thanks for trying, Jermaine.

In another example of the brutal ramifications of the actions of everyone involved, the three Pacers in the brawl — Ron Artest, Stephen Jackson and Jermaine O'Neal — pleaded no contest to misdemeanor charges this morning. For their crimes against humanity, they are expected to be forced into what the feds are calling "community service" and "probation." They will likely have to pick up trash that isn't even theirs.

The fan involved in the incident, Bryant Jackson (who we swear was once on our fantasy football team), received two months probation earlier this year. So that's settled, which means we can go back to making sure that teenager who jumped on the netting at Yankee Stadium this year gets the electric chair.
