If It's Going To Be That Kind Of Party

April 12, 2009
New York, NY


Happy Birthday to Ted Ginn, Jr. That man knows how to celebrate.

This last weekend he threw a big party in his hometown, Cleveland, OH. Many of his closest friends were there, including Buffalo CB Donte Whitner. Ginn and Whitner happened to go to school together in Cleveland at Glenville High and even went to Ohio State. Needless to say, they have remained close.

So back to the party. What could go wrong? Two pro football players, in their hometown, celebrating with a big party at a big public club. I mean, nothing dumb happens when alcohol and celebrities are involved.

Yes, you see where this is going.

Cut to 3am, where after a fight in the club involving Whitner , there’s a near-riot in the parking lot. Still feeling the burn from the fight inside, Whitner is battling with some bouncers outside the club when the police arrive.

Yes, you see where this is going.

Rather then cut his losses, Whitner proceeds to take on the police. And gets tasered. After Darrent Willams and Adam “Pac-Man” Jones, Ginn still has to throw a party at a club. I’m not saying that football players should stay home, but at least get a private venue and your own security. You have too much to lose.

But on the bright side, at least Whitner has someone to pick him up at the police station:
