Pacman Making It Rain Expose
Monday, July 13, 2009
It's been a while since Pacman made it rain over NBA All-Star Weekend. Over two years. For some reason the Las Vegas newspaper is now running a three-part expose. Here is the first part via Deadspin. Along with the accompanying picture.
At about 2:30 in the morning on Feb. 19, 2007, Jones went by limo to the Minxx with a group that included his business manager, Chris Horvath, and a bodyguard he hired for the weekend, Robert "Big Rob" Reid.
As the group entered the club, they walked through a portable metal detector, which was installed for the weekend to help keep weapons out.
"Pacman's in the house!" Horvath shouted as they cleared security.
It was doubtful anyone heard him.
Harlem Knights, a Houston strip club, had leased the Minxx for the weekend, organized the events and recorded them on video. The video from that night shows a lively party with loud hip-hop music and male partygoers enjoying the attention of nearly naked dancers. Champagne was flowing and the smell of marijuana was thick, several Minxx employees later said.
"They were very, very mellow," club employee Leon Malanowski said of the crowd. "Everybody was cool. We had the right kind of music. They had enough girls there, so it was all smooth. ... No tension whatsoever."
'MAKING IT RAIN'
The relative calm at the party ended abruptly, and Pacman Jones was a main reason why.
Jones, dressed in a white jersey-style shirt and wearing a large gold chain supporting a medallion depicting the "Pacman" video game character, had walked into the club with about $100,000 in cash inside a Louis Vuitton backpack. He exchanged $40,000 of that with a club manager for singles. This was in preparation for the celebrities gathering on stage to toss money into the air and in the general direction of dancers -- a practice in the nightclub world known as "making it rain."
And how has this all played out since?
Two months ago I took Fox to the neighborhood playground so we could play on the slide. Two kids were playing in the woodchips. One was around 5, the other about three, both boys. As we neared, I could hear the younger boy say to his older brother, "Stop making it rain on me."
Yep, kids in Nashville are making it rain with playground woodchips.Labels: pacman jones making it rain expose

Travis has become enamored of several objects, phrases or events which he frequenly references in the column. Among the most frequent:
'Bama Bangs - a term coined by Travis to refer to southern men's hairstyles that feature prominent bangs for no apparent reason. Brodie Croyle and John Parker Wilson are oft-cited violators of 'Bama Bangs rules.

When Clay Travis, acclaimed author of Dixieland Delight, decided to spend the 2008 season up close and personal with UT football, he—and every other college football aficionado—thought he was in for a rollicking ride with one of the leading contenders for the national title. After all, when the Vols kicked off the season on September 1, the defending SEC East champions were ranked 18th in the country. As head coach Phillip Fulmer prepared for the game, he reflected upon a coaching career that included an astounding 147 victories, two SEC championships, and a national title. With 34 years at UT under his belt as both a player and coach, the Tennessee native had just signed a contract extension that projected to keep him at the university long enough to become the winningest coach in program history.

There is no college ball more passionate and competitive than football in the Southeastern Conference, where seven of the twelve schools boast stadiums bigger than any in the NFL and 6.5 million fans hit the road every year to hoot and holler their teams to victory.

The newly favored man is not really a man at all, but a hairless, effeminate, germ-fearing, non-meat-eating, exfoliating, wristband-wearing woman of the worst order. We as men are told that we must embrace the sacred feminine in ourselves, even if it doesn't actually exist, and become the very quintessence of woman, plus penises. This situation is untenable. This trend must stop.

Clay Travis is the only former student manager in the history of college athletics to marry an NFL cheerleader. He managed to pull this off despite an irrational affinity for the television shows Dawson's Creek and My Super Sweet 16. While being raised in Nashville, Tenn., Travis developed a healthy obsession with college sports and Alyssa Milano. As a teenager his greatest accomplishment was taking a doo-rag wearing Luke Duke (balling as Tom Wopat) to the hole at the Nashville YMCA.
In the midst of a stellar legal career during which he specialized in rewarding the unjust and punishing the oppressed, Travis began writing for CBS Sports's SPiN section in September 2005...
