PHOTOS EMERGE OF WALKER MAKING IT RAIN?
Posted by Mike Florio on June 17, 2008, 10:36 a.m.
A reader has forwarded to us pictures of what appears to be Raiders receiver Javon Walker and others spraying champagne at a night club. The photos bear a SpyOnVegas.com watermark. When we went to the SpyOnVegas.com web site, however, our ADD kicked in before we could find the images.
Per media reports, Walker purchased 15 bottles of Dom Perignon on Saturday night for the purposes of spraying, not drinking. (Hasn’t the guy ever heard of Mums?) Here’s one of the pictures.
Meanwhile, updated reports indicate generally that Walker suffered “significant injuries” in connection with an apparent robbery on Monday morning. He was found unconscious in the street, and hospitalized. Previously, the the only specific information regarding Walker’s condition was that he had suffered a fractured orbital bone.
As a couple of commenters have noted, why would Walker have allowed himself to be alone? It makes us wonder whether he was robbed by folks who were with him, as opposed to a random street mugging.
Another readers has pointed out the similarity between Walker’s one known injury and the injuries sustained by former Raiders tight end Marcus Williams, who was jacked up during practice by a presumably ’roid-fueled Bill Romanowski.
Williams never played again. It remains to be seen whether Walker will.

What an idiot...
If you frequent those establishments and you are 'ballin' , you better roll deep...
If you dont, you wind up getting jumped, served, robbed and unconscious in a street corner.
He of all people should know better after seeing one of his close friends die in his arms.

Police say cash taken from Oakland Raiders receiver Javon Walker in robbery
By KEN RITTERThe Associated Press
LAS VEGAS -- Oakland Raiders wide receiver Javon Walker could be released from the hospital today, a day after he was beaten, robbed and left unconscious on a Las Vegas street after a night of partying, police said.
A large amount of cash and some jewelry were taken from Walker, who suffered "significant injuries," police said.
Police Lt. Clinton Nichols said detectives are retracing Walker's activities in the hours before he was found injured Monday morning on a street off the Las Vegas Strip.
"That's one of the first things we do, backtrack what he did and where he stayed," Nichols said, adding that the investigation was still in the early stages. "We knew there was a large amount of cash taken, and some jewelry."
Nichols said he believed Walker would be released after a 24-hour stay at the hospital. A hospital spokesman said he had no immediate information about Walker's condition.
A Raiders spokesman said the team was in the process of gathering information and had no further comment.
On Monday, police Officer Bill Cassell said in a statement that Walker was taken to a hospital with "significant injuries" and was in fair condition at Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center.
Walker, 29, signed a six-year, $55 million deal with the Raiders after being released by the Denver Broncos in February.
He was in a rented limousine with Denver Broncos defensive back Darrent Williams of Fort Worth when Williams was shot and killed in a drive-by shooting on New Year's Day 2007.
Walker injured his right knee for the second time in his career last season and was limited to eight games and 26 catches in 2007.
Walker was a first-round draft pick by the Green Bay Packers in 2001 and had a breakout season in 2004 with 89 catches for 1,382 yards and 12 touchdowns.
He tore a ligament in his right knee the next season and played only one game.
He was traded to Denver in 2006 and bounced back with 69 catches for 1,084 yards and eight touchdowns.
Walker was sitting next to Williams in the shooting tragedy hours after the 2006 season ended. ESPN reported that Walker donated $30,000 to the The Darrent Williams Memorial Teen Center in suburban Denver, a tribute to the work Williams had done with the Boys & Girls Club.

Sad similarities in Walker story
June 17, 2008 12:16 PM
Posted by ESPN.com's Bill Williamson
There are some tragic ironies to the Javon Walker robbery story.
Walker went to Las Vegas in the days after Darrent Williams was murdered in Denver on Jan. 1, 2007. Williams died in Walker's arms in a rented limousine after the two attended a New Year's Eve party in downtown Denver. Walker received a lot of criticism for going to Las Vegas and going to nightclubs instead of joining the rest of the organization in Fort Worth, Texas, at Williams' funeral.
Walker said in an HBO interview last summer that he fled Denver for Las Vegas because he was scared for his life.
In that same interview, Walker said a melee started before Williams was shot because Denver receiver Brandon Marshall and his cousin were spraying champagne at the Denver nightclubs and that it agitated gang members in attendance.
According to a report in the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Walker -- who signed with Oakland after being cut by Denver this offseason -- was spraying champagne at two Las Vegas nightclubs last weekend, including shortly before he was found unconscious.

Okay? and idk why most of yall are making it sound like it was his fault that he got mugged. Football players are targets in the american public. Not only that, but whoever mugged him most likely didnt care about getting sprayed with alcohol as much as they cared about the fat wad he had in his wallet.
