According to the New York Post , Jowdy instead used the $25 million to throw parties complete with porn stars and hookers for some of his baseball buddies including Hall-of-Famers Reggie Jackson and Joe Morgan, all-time hits leader Pete Rose, and seven-time Cy Young award winner Roger Clemens.

Among the claims, Jowdy allegedly:

-- Put a woman named Adrian Moore -- described as a "regular party attendee" who was "close to Clemens" -- on his payroll "as a personal favor" to the former Yankees Cy Young hurler

-- Paid himself an $800,000 a year salary -- plus travel and entertainment expenses -- while his brother-in-law, Connecticut lawyer Bill Najam, took in $650,000 annually even though his role in the company "has yet to be identified"

-- Hired Brian MacNamee, the onetime Clemens trainer who told Congress he supplied the ballplayer with steroids, as fitness trainer for one property as another favor to the former all-star.

-- Paid the projects' sole construction manager Ken Ayers a $550,000 annual salary, even though he spent fewer than 20 days at the sites in seven years and had a full-time job in California.

According to the suits, Jowdy lavished attention on the famous ballplayers "under the guise that these individuals would eventually purchase real estate" in the planned resorts.

But "Clemens and even his wife were vocal and adamant that they would never purchase" the property, the papers allege.

And yet, the Minnesota Vikings are the only team in major sports dumb enough to do it the wrong way *cough LOVE BOAT cough*.

I just want to know if John Kruk had to shell out more than anyone else..or if lapdances were a flat (not fat) rate.

Presumably the hockey players aren't suing "over" the parties, but rather on the basis of havinf been defrauded. What the alleged criminal Jowdy then did with the money isn't relevant to the suit, is it?
