CHERRY BOMB, HOHENWALD LAB BURNS!
By D. David Halberstam, BYG Times
In a bewildering development, popular nightspot Cherry Bomb Cafe and owner GQ Denney's main quarters at his Hohenwald, Tenn. farm have burned to the ground early Tuesday morning. Early reports indicate that Denney himself, and two NFFA players — Black Dogs WR Devin Hester and the suspended Marvin Harrison, may have perished in the Hohenwald blaze. The causes of the two fires are under investigation with ATF and FBI investigators both being called in.
Fear is mounting that the three missing men were in the Hohenwald building when it caught fire. Witnesses have placed the three together there around 4 a.m. Tuesday morning. They were also seen together at the Cherry Bomb Cafe as late as 11 p.m. Monday night. Denney is the beloved and notorious owner of the winless 12th Avenue Bakers franchise. The three men were in the company of new head coach Pacman Jones and a party of six unknown ladies at Denney's favorite table Monday night following the Bakers loss to the Midtown Mojo.
"I think those cats headed down to the country after I split," said Jones. "Then, damn!, I got a call on my cell phone from Snoop saying the club was on fire. He was crying and saying that GQ had been talkin' crazy that morning about sparkin' up a big one. But you know ... we damn sure didn't think he meant the Cherry Bomb. I don't know nothin' bout the farm. He said he'd take me down there soon and show me around but I'm not that crazy about farms and shit. I'm a city boy. And I heard he keeps — you know — dead people, zombie girls and things down there. Pac just says no!"
Snoop Dogg is the former Bakers head coach, who was relieved of his duties last week for medical reasons. Rumors have surfaced that Denney had shot him in the back, only to rush to his fallen coach's aid immediately.
"No comment on the gizzle man, for rizzle," said Snoop Dogg from his South Nashville home. "I'm just worried about him. He's been under a lot of pressure lately. I think he may have my wallet. I always worry when he goes down to that dizzam farm. Nothin good happens down there ... all those chemicals and shit. Nothin good."
The Bakers front office has postponed a scheduled press conference until more information is known. Furious George, longtime Denney friend and French cousin of deceased Bakers mascot Mr. TD is flying to Nashville from Paris tonight.
