BANG club: Peko not unruly

UPDATED with The Enquirer story on the Bang nightclub incident linked to blog post.

Leo Goeas, agent for Bengals defensive tackle Domata Peko, forwarded this release late this afternoon from the BANG Nightclub to absolve Peko of unruly behavior on the night of March 29.

The release states:

"To clarify an earlier press release, BANG Nightclub states that although Mr. Domata Peko was present at the club on Saturday, March 29, 2008, his behavior was not unruly. Further, any association made by media outlets or others between Mr. Peko and those persons who engaged in unruly or abusive behavior is incorrect.

" We thank Mr. Peko for his assistance in resolving this matter and wish him and the Cincinnati Bengals success in the coming season. BANG Nightclub is an upscale establishment that strives to treat all guests equally. BANG expects its guests to treat one another with class and respect. Accordingly, BANG will not tolerate unruly or illegal behavior."

-- BANG Nightclub

Further proof that a man will indeed be judged by his company - even if it's only the company for which he works. They used to preach that to us in high school (Monroe) - if one of you embarasses the uniform, you embarass your teammates and fans, as well. Peko has an enormous amount of pride - it shows in the all-out way he plays and the reserved and thoughtful way in which he speaks to the media. We would do well to draft a few more guys like him - he'll have a big season this year, to boot.

glad to hear the club absolve Peko. I really found it disturbing that he might be involved in something like that, as it didn't fit the rest of the picture.
But what about the fact that other players linked to Smokey McPot's crude behavior didn't get singled out for absolution as Mr. Peko did? What can we all assume about that????
