    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Around 1 a.m. Monday, Stacey Mack, a 1993 graduate of Boone High School and now with the NFL's Houston Texans, was escorted out of the Club at Firestone in downtown Orlando and given a trespassing warning by Orlando police not to return.

    "I don't want this to be in the paper," Mack said as he was leaving with his entourage.

    What Mack really didn't want in the newspaper is what happened the previous week when he and Magic forward Drew Gooden got into a fight, according to the owner of the dance club at 578 N. Orange Ave. and representatives for both players.

    "I don't put up with that at my club. If you fight, use drugs, whatever, you're kicked out for good," said Jan Harrold, who has owned the club -- which plays a variety of music, including hip-hop -- for 11 years. "I'm not letting anyone at my club talk. It has to come from the horse's mouth, and I'm the horse."

    That night already was strange enough, because around 2 a.m., Magic player Darrell Armstrong was arrested outside the nightclub and charged with battery on a law enforcement officer and resisting arrest without violence.

    But nothing has been reported about what happened an hour earlier, involving Gooden and Mack.

    Here's the account, according to Harrold and the representatives:

    On July 7, Gooden, several NBA players and other patrons were partying on the second floor of the dance club, in an area reserved for VIPs. Mack, who played four years with the Jacksonville Jaguars before signing with the Texans, also was in the VIP area with his friends.

    Around 1 a.m., Harrold said, Gooden -- 21, 6 feet 10 and 230 pounds -- and Mack -- 29, 6 feet 1 and 238 pounds -- got into a fight, actually a lot of pushing and shoving. Barstools were thrown and carafes of drinks were thrown, according to patrons on hand.

    Operations manager Chris "Tiny" Groce, who weighs about 400 pounds, separated the players, Harrold said. As each athlete went to the opposite side of the bar, Gooden picked up an ashtray and tried to throw it at Mack, Harrold said.

    As Gooden reached back, he hit Groce in the head with the ashtray.

    I think they ought to just put every NBA player under house arrest until the preseason starts.
