When WR Javon Walker bitched his way out of Green Bay, I loathed the dude with the same fandom scorn I still possess for Saints CB Mike McKenzie, who pulled a similar stunt.
Walker had a monster pro bowl season in 04 and wanted a new contract. Unfortunately, he was blew out his knee early in 2005 against the Lions and without his deep ball play making ability, the Packers bottomed out to a 4-12 season.
Walker sill demanded a new deal, which seemed tenuous giving his knee injury, so he ripped the organization to pieces and the Packers finally shipped him out to Denver.
I started having compassion for Walker after his Broncos teammate Darrent Williams was shot in a limo they were riding in together and Williams died in Walker's arms. The HBO special of Walker showing up to the Broncos training facility the next morning after the shooting still in his blood stained shirt was gut wrenching. I truly felt Javon's pain and grief.
The recent news of Walker getting mugged and knocked out in Vegas is crazy. Here are pictures for Walker partying it up at a club with Pretty Boy Floyd before he was robbed.
I will not rip on Walker like the tasteless Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk does because the man is lucky to be alive. Maybe his story is shaky because he just got knocked the F out! What do you expect? I agree there is something very weird to this story when Nik from the dirty is clearing athlete's names.
what is next, a GW Bush lecture tour on the need for butter diplomacy? A Travis Henry talk on abstinence? An Eliot Spitzer speech on being a faithful hubby?
Here is the Vegas slide show picture tour.
Walker Gets Knocked the F Out
Mike Florio is a great football writer but a smug ahole.
Nik from the Dirty tries to dose rumors. Yes, you read that headline correct.
