I've been to Tampa once in my life, when I was about 14 or so, and somehow I wound up in a strip club. It's actually not that hard to accidentally stroll into one, seeing as the city is rife with them. But I didn't realize it was quite this bad.

According to city statistics, there are 43 strip clubs in Tampa. That's more than the city's hospitals (12), high schools (41), fire stations (21) or synagogues (13). 

More strip clubs than high schools? No wonder Florida annually ranks pretty low in national academic rankings.

Even more amazing, there are as many strip clubs as McDonald's restaurants in the city. So in Tampa not only can football players get in trouble at strip clubs, they can get fat too.  Also, just going by quick city block calculations, there's got to be on average one strip club and McDonald's every three blocks in Tampa, which is almost as bad as Starbucks.

As you can probably guess, there will be plenty of opportunities for players to get into trouble, as Sports Rubbish informs us:


Even better, there's two really well known strip clubs right near Raymond James Stadium, Mons Venus and 2001 Odyssey.

Frankly, I'm just glad the Cowboys didn't actually make the Super Bowl, as they were favored to do. Just the thought of Pacman being in Tampa sends shivers down my spine. He would have been in like three strip club-related shootings by yesterday, easily.

By the way, here are the odds for players most likely to get arrested this week:

Matt Leinart 10/1
J.J. Arrington 2/1
Anquan Boldin 5/2 
Larry Fitzgerald 5/1
Santonio Holmes 2/1

Personally, I'd go for big money with Leinart. You know he's depressed, has nothing to do, and loves the ladies. Plus with the "you can't get within 6-feet of the strippers" rule, that has Leinart strip club arrest written all over it.

Although truth be told, you might as well place a bet on the entire Steelers team as well. I hear the ladies in Pittsburgh aren't all that great.
