What's eating Pacman today?

If ever there was a reason for professional athletes not to continue their thuggish ways after they hit the big time, this is it:

A New York nurse who was shot in the head after a scuffle at a Las Vegas strip club involving suspended NFL player Adam "Pacman" Jones of the Tennessee Titans has sued the player and the company she says hired him to throw thousands of dollars at strippers.

Shot in the head? Really? I only remember hearing about the security guard who was paralyzed. Hm.
Generally, the non-thugs aren't hit with lawsuits like this one, and they have a better chance of avoiding extortion and litigation. Just look at the "facts":

She said she required three weeks in intensive care to recover from her injuries and lost wages as a result of missing work as a registered nurse...Jones' lawyer Manny Arora of Atlanta, Ga., said he was "skeptical" of the claim, especially since police have said Natalie Jones was treated and released from hospital within a day...Natalie Jones claims in her suit filed Aug. 14 that the football player had "entered into a contract" with the Harlem Knights exotic dancer group, based in Houston, to throw thousands of $1 bills on stage for about 40 dancers. Las Vegas police said Tuesday they have not found evidence of such a contract.

Obviously, the hospital stay should be easy enough to prove, as well as the supposed hole in her head. I bet a bullet whizzed by her head or something, but that was enough to qualify in her eyes.

See, it's not surprising that people would do their best to get money out of an NFL player, especially this player and in a situation like this one. But why would Pacman want to add to his already burgeoning legal woes? He should stay at home more, hang out with better friends, learn how to behave himself. Is it really so hard? (I guess so; just ask Michael Vick.)
