A few details have trickled out of Las Vegas in regards to the Joey Porter-Levi Jones throwdown Sunday night.

It started at the blackjack table. Having seen our share of fights originate while gambling, here’s our guess: Jones probably split 5’s and Porter flipped out because Jones ended up taking his six. Even if he didn’t have Barkley money on the hand, it’s still a reason to get angry. Standard operating procedure is to then begin berating the assclown who split cards he’s not supposed to split. That’s when the offensive lineman probably told him, ‘back your shit up outside, son.’ And then Porter jacked him. Then, Porter’s crew may or may not have lifted jewelry from the fallen lineman.

Porter was cited for misdemeanor battery Sunday evening after an argument at a Las Vegas blackjack table with Bengals offensive tackle Levi Jones erupted into a fight, the Las Vegas Police Department said Monday.

When security at the Palms Casino managed to move the initial argument to the hotel’s valet area, Porter landed a punch to Jones’ left eye that left a ‘’small laceration,” department spokesman Jose Montoya said. The incident occurred at 6:50 p.m. local time.

Think Joey Porter one-punched him? Damn. That’s beastly. If you can drop a 300-pound man with one punch, you probably shouldn’t be punching people to begin with. We’re stoked to see that Miami Dolphins defense this Fall.

Here’s a cool note – a reader at Mondesi’s House claims that Porter was rocking a Hank Gathers throwback jersey, giving everyone two free tickets to the gun show. We’re going to one-up that and order a Bo Kimble throwback today.
