Javon Found Unconscious In Vegas *Merged*

[Nors]

Hanging out in bars in the AM, Carrying cash, drinking

This stuff happens to you - Javon was with Darrant that night in Denver. These players need to stay away from nighclubs and drinking - they become targets.

WALKER SPEAKS, MAKES NO SENSE


Raiders receiver Javon Walker has given an exclusive interview to TheDirty.com, a web site that gathered notoriety over the past few months for, among other things, the publication of photographs of NFL players in compromising positions.

Here’s Walker’s claim: “I was just back at my room and at about 5:30 in the morning, I got a knock at the door, I opened it and 3 guys with guns were there, they cracked me in the head a few times knocking me unconcious. They then robbed me of everything I had– my watch– money– everything! Somehow they got me to the car and dropped me off in the street. That’s what happened.”

Our reaction? Perhaps they need to check out Walker’s brain function a little more closely. Because whatever it was that cracked his orbital bone also might have functioned as the equivalent of a lobotomy.

Think about it. Three gun-wielding thugs walk through the lobby and, somehow knowing the number of Walker’s room, show up there, knock on the door, and pistol whip him when he opens it. Then, after ransacking the room, they drag his unconscious body out of the hotel without being detected and leave it in the street.

Also, and as our buddy Jason Whitlock has pointed out via e-mail since we initially posted this item, there are surveillance cameras everywhere in Vegas. So if Javon was staying at the swankiest hotel or at the Motel 6 at 707 Fremont Avenue, chances are that there’s footage somewhere of the marauding gang of thugs who accosted Walker at his room and dragged his unconscious body to their car. The likely absence of such video evidence will blow his story out of the water.

As we suggested during our Tuesday night visit with Todd Wright on Sporting News Radio, maybe the crooks put Brandon Marshall’s McDonald’s bag over Walker’s head so that Javon wouldn’t know where they were taking him.

If Walker’s story is true (and we’re certain that it isn’t), it’s surely not a random act. Robbers just want the loot — they feel no need to disrespect the victim if doing so enhances the possibility of being caught.

Given this lame-*** explanation, we’ve concluded that any and all jokes about the situation are fair game. And so we present Taco Bill’s Pic of the Day, crafted in honor of the Walker incident.

UPDATE: Then again, maybe it was a pack of land sharks.

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.

Yeah, if you're gonna run around flashin' a large wad of cash, with enough bling on to finance a small war, then you run the risk of attracting the wrong kind of attention...

It seems Mr. Walker isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer, if he didn't learn from the Darrent Williams tragedy the wisdom of keeping a low profile in public... trust me, if I had that kind of money, I would NOT be flashing diamonds and gold all over me, like a walking billboard flashing "rob me"...

oh snap

Takes a special kind of stupid to go clubbing wearing 100 grand worth of jewelry...

Actually, it takes a special kind of stupid to HAVE 100 grand worth of jewery, unless you're a rich old broad...

 

[silverbear]

I wouldn't spend $100k on jewelry even if I was making a million bucks a day.

I don't wear jewelry, never have and never will... the farthest I went down that road was when my Mom (who worked in a jewelry store at the time) gave me a gold chain one Christmas... I wore that rascule for years...

Beyond that, I don't even like wearing a watch...

Your right. Walker did a lot of things wrong in LV. And someone spending that kind of cash should be able to afford a Limo or Taxi to get from one location to another. And have at least one security person with him (bodyguard).

Gang leaders have said that they keep people in bars in Vegas looking for this very thing...people spending a lot of money...easy targets for them.

that is true

or maybe we're just too white

 

[silverbear]

Actually, I've got next to no ***... it's embarrassing, really, I look like a junior grade Arnold Palmer, always hitchin' at my britches...

My Mom's side of the family all had big *****, but my Dad was like me, he couldn't hardly keep a pair of pants on...

 

[silverbear]

that is true

or maybe we're just too white

Anybody who's ever seen me dance (which would be a very small group of people) can attest to my basic, fundamental whiteness...

Nothing good happens after 2am.

I dunno, maybe my Michael Strahan grin turned 'em off... LOL...

:laugh1: oh man, good stuff

I always told the girls that I spent too much of my life up on the bandstand to ever learn how to dance properly...

Some of the dumber ones actually believed me...

Seriously, you name the white boy cliche, and I'm probably guilty of it-- I can't jump, either... and all my rhythm seems to be in my fingers...

 

[silverbear]

Nothing good happens after 2am.

Except my posts, of course...

You're not kidding. My acid reflux loves the predawn nightlife. :

Colin Cowherd yesterday said that the area where Javon was found was a bad part of town. That just leads to more questions. Was he in a hotel near the bad part of town? Did these thugs transport him to the part of town? Or after they dumped him in the street did he stumble to the area where he was found?

There are a lot of questions. It is going to be semi-interesting to see the answers start to come out.

lol, I've been hit there before meself

Are you of dwarven ancestry?
