    I guess Seabass isn’t so bad after all…

    Ex-NFLer Held in Siegfried & Roy Drive-By

    LAS VEGAS - A former Oakland Raiders kicker was in police custody Tuesday night in the September drive-by shooting at the home of entertainers Siegfried Fischbacher and Roy Horn, police said.

    Cole Ford, 31, whose three-year NFL career ended in 1997 after he missed crucial kicks, was identified earlier by police as the owner of a white minivan from which shots were fired at the entertainers' compound.

    No one was hurt, but police said shotgun pellets shattered windows and left a hole in a wall. Police have not said if the two were at home at the time.

    Ford was captured without incident Tuesday afternoon at a copy store near the Las Vegas Strip after a woman tipped police that he was inside, police said.

    He faces six felony warrant charges of discharging a firearm from a motor vehicle and two felony counts of assault with a deadly weapon.

    The long-running Siegfried & Roy show was forced to close a year ago after Horn suffered a near-fatal tiger mauling during a performance.

    This story is so funny, but I can't seem to laugh. I'm in a state of shock.

    You can't make that up.

    Somewhat related, but have any of y'all heard Horn's theory that he wasn't attacked, but that he had suffered a stroke or something and the tiger was just moving him to safety. He says the way the tiger carried him off the stage showed that he was trying to help Horn, not hurt him. The tiger could've easily killed him had he wanted to. Dunno if I believe it or not, but it sounds interesting.

    That makes me think of the dog that called 911 to save it's owner's life. Of course, that dog had to be trained to do that and I doubt the tiger knew that something was wrong with Horn. I'm sure it coulse sense a stroke of that was the case.
