Javon Walker's Absurd Account Proves He Is Perfect For Raiders

 

Preface -- No one deserves to get beaten and robbed.  I firmly believe that.  Javon Walker did not deserve what happened and I am glad, as a human being, that Walker, another human being, is OK.  What one deserves and is accountable for are two different things, however, and that, along with Javon's ridiculous "account" of what happened, are at the heart of this story.

I have been biding my time, waiting for the right opportunity to discuss the beat down former Bronco/current Raider Javon Walker received in Las Vegas a couple days ago.   Walker was left battered, suffering a "moderate" concussion and broken orbital bone, as well as a bit lighter in the wallet($3000) and bling department($100K).  He was released a littler earlier today, a sign that his long term prognosis is good.  For that, I am thankful for no one deserves to get beaten and left for dead.  That said, you'd think Walker would know better!

Let's start with today and work our way backwards.  Walker has allegedly given his account of what happened to a website that prides itself on showing athletes and celebrities in compromising situations .  Of course, as the story says, Walker is a "friend" of the site and they have been "reticent" in writing the story.  Avoiding a story about your friends when they are idiots, especially when the entire point of your website is to spill the dirt on such people, equals a loss of credibility to me, if there was any to begin with.  What finished the job is Walker's "account" of what happened the night he was given the beat down - 

“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 unconscious. They then robbed me of everything I had; my watch, money, everything! Somehow they got me to a car and dropped me off in the street. That’s what happened.”

Ok, let's get this straight.  Walker is staying at the Bellagio.  In Las Vegas, which is quite possibly the most watched-over city in the universe.  Really, how many surveillance cameras are there on a guest floor alone?  According to Walker, he is innocently sleeping in his room.  Meanwhile, three men walk in, somehow know what room Walker is in, knock on his door, pistol whip him to the point of unconsciencness, rob him, carry his "lifeless" body down to a car, drive a couple miles away, dump him on the sidewalk and leave without ONE camera catching this?  Without one guard at the Bellagio asking, "What the hell are you doing?".  Were they dressed as firefighters?

Star-divide

Come on, Javon.  That's the best you can come up with?  Better yet, another fine website when it comes to credibility, ProFootballTalk, picked up the story and reported it as well.  Somehow, PFT has become a "source" to MSM sites, because a few minutes later I hear Colin Cowherd talking about it on ESPNRadio.  A story as ridiculous as that has gone pretty far up the MSM ladder if you ask me, especially after several witnesses have placed Walker at a nightclub near the location his crumpled body was found.

Regardless of what happened, one thing is for sure.  Walker just doesn't make good decisions.  Or he's incredibly unlucky.  He's a young guy with alot of money and it is fully within his right to go out and have a good time.  Where I being to disagree with those who feel sympathy for Walker is at accountability.  Walker chose to go out, chose to buy a large amount of champagne, chose to spray it down on folks.  He chose to flaunt his bling, his cash.  Chose to force everyone in the place to notice HIM.  He is accountable for the ramifications.  While he may not deserve what happened, he IS accountable.  You'd think, after all that happened in Denver, after he was given an absurd contract by the Walking Corpse(and everyone wonders why Chad Johnson,  Plaxico Burress, et al, want new contracts), that Walker would want to lead the quiet life for awhile.

Instead, Walker has continued to do what he is best at, act selfishly, and now another team will have to suffer.  To the Raiders, a big HAHA.  You definitely deserve it, giving a me-first, damaged goods, over-rated receiver with bad wheels and a broken face Randy Moss-type money.  Enjoy it while Walker is limping around the sidelines, pouting about anything and everything, while the losses mount.  The two of you are perfect for each other, and as they say, "Stupid is as stupid does".  Javon Walker continues to make bad decisions, at least now he works for an owner whose decision-making skills are on par with his diva wide-receiver.

Can you tell me......

How long an orbital bone fracture could keep someone out of football for? I just want to know if Javon is going to miss the season opener.

I know that they would have lost to us with him anyway, but it would make me happy to know that the Fader’s only chances for a decent season just got sprayed all over the floor.

Michael Fabiano really knows nothing about football outside of regression analysis and stat extrapolation. If it doesn’t have to do with fantasy football, his opinion is worthless.

Orbital bone injures

They vary greatly in severity. Like any fracture, it can be mild or severe. The bone is a hollowed out stucture, and its interior side is covered in fat tissue. Appendages connect the eye to the tissue and bone, including the occipital muscles.

The severeness with an orbital injury is based on two issues.

First, based on the fracture, it may be hard to repair the bone enough to give it enough structural support to sustain further damage safely. Second, the injury may interfere with the use of the eye.

The fact that Walker is out of the hospital so quick is a good sign. On the other hand, he may be stablized enough to see a specialist, who may advise that further work needs to be done, or can’t be done. I have no idea if he’ll be ready for game one, or any games.

I dont believe

Him for a minute. Its freaking Vegas. Too many security cameras. Plus to drag a limp body without ANYONE seeing it?

I wonder this will affect his upcoming revenge against the Broncos? I dont think Champ will have to shut him down. Plus isnt this the same injury Marcus Williams of the faders received when Romo had his bout of roid rage a few seasons ago.

I was thnking the same thing...

when it comes to the injury. I am sure there are different severity levels, but let’s “face” it, Walker will be a bit gunshy about getting smacked in the head, and who knows how long the concussion effects will linger…

re Marcus Williams

Yep. That was an orbital bone injury and he never played again. No idea if that is typical or the exception.

And I completely agree about Vegas. I can’t believe it was 10 years ago already, but I was there over Halloween. I came out of my hotel room in costume, went down the elevator and made it about 10 feet before I was stopped by security who forced me to remove the mask until I left the hotel since it hid my identity from all the security cameras.

Wow

One would think after the Darrent Williams Saga, Javon would be intelligent about the company he keeps and the places he visits. As Guru said, nothing good happens that early in the morning…...even in Vegas.

The Guy Was in or Outside of the Bellagio!!!

For heavens sake, you cant get smarter or more public than that. For those Donkey fans that don;t know anything about Vegas, the crime there is unlike anywhere else. Bloods, Crips, Sorrenos, Nortenos, Etc, etc, all working to get paid in any way possible, and they put away gang affiliation in Vegas to work together and make more money. Tipsters are everywhere, bartenders, bouncers, etc, etc. If it turns out Javon was Kidnapped from the Bellagio or even outside the Bellagio, many are going to be eating their words.

By the way Kiff is reporting that Javon will be ready for training camp, so it still all good for a Donkey beat down on MNF.

Toodles….

If it turns out he really was kidnapped from his hotel...

...I will eat my words, gladly. But I’ll tell you what, if his story turns out to be be true, that even wealthy, high profile people can be kidnapped from their rooms, beaten severely and left for dead on the street, things are going to get pretty bad for Las Vegas because most people are going to stop going.

...just how far the people of Las Vegas would go to keep from getting that kind of reputation. Just a thought.

Accountability

is the term I have been searching for in this whole thing. I do feel strongly that visiting this sort of violence on someone is heinous… and the victim shouldn’t be blamed.

But the victim is accountable for his or her actions leading up to, and after, becoming a victim.. And Javon is spewing a load of bull. Doesn’t make me think he is all that comfortable having to account for his behavior… and is just digging himself a bigger hole.

I have been monitoring this saga and.............

I took a particular interest in this story last night and spent several hours looking for stories to surface from eye witnesses in the bar.

There is much more drama and suspicion than most people know about. For starters, Walker was in a club when Floyd Merriwether (the boxer) and his posse where there at the same time. Turns out that FM and JV were trying to one up each other. A witness said the champagne spraying did not make Merriwether happy. There are some cell phone pics of Javon spraying people in one of the two clubs already up on the net.

The next interesting tidbit is that one of Walkers buddies said that after they left a club at 3:30am, another car was following them and they pulled over. A Female that knew Walker came running up to their car and invited Javon to ride with her. Walker left his friends and thats the last they saw of him until they heard he was in the hospital.

I did a google earth search of Vegas and found the intersection of where the Police said they found him unconscious. He was half way between the two clubs that he attended that night. About a mile from each, and even further from the Bellagio where he was allegedly abducted from. The intersection where he was found is a “T” and a large concrete storm drainage ditch is right off the sidewalk that is lower than street level. It seems to me that this would have to be close to where he left with the girl. Something really stinks here and Walker is trying to cover something up.

Keep in mind, that these are rumors that are not confirmed on the web. They could be false or half truths, I don’t know, but I find it interesting food for thought.

Could Merriwethers henchmen be involved?
Who is the bimbo that lured him away from his posse?
And finally, “gunmen in his hotel room?” C’mon, everybody know that OJ’s in jail.

Embarassment.

They guy is ashamed of the fact that his own, stupid actions caused him to get punked on the streets of a notoriously dangerous part of town. The story is made to make him look tough even though the truth makes him look like a foolish “man”-child.

Great writeup...

Allthough i simly cannot aprove of the “he-brought-this-upon-himself”-statement. No matter what you do you can’t “bring-a-assault-upon-yourself”. Wellm actually you can – this could be mawb (spelled the way you say – i have no idea how to spell it, but it’s the AlCapone-crew) related. This would explain why his explanation is so flawed.

It also seems to me that you use the “Vegas-argument” when it fits your point:

Walker chose to go out, chose to buy a large amount of champagne, chose to spray it down on folks. He chose to flaunt his bling, his cash. Chose to force everyone in the place to notice HIM.

I’ve never bin to Vegas (or the US for that matter), but i wanna say: “Who doesn’t show off in vegas?” If i had a 2 gozillion contract and happened to be in Vegas – i know i would.

Don’t take this the wrong way, I just don’t agree with you intirely.

Zero chance Walker's story is true

I was just in Vegas 2 weeks ago, been there many times. There are security cameras everywhere. Including every hotel elevator and stairwell. For 3 men to abduct someone and take them out of the hotel/casino is just about impossible without someone noticing it or at the least, having video evidence of it.

Looks like Javon still needs some growing up.

Hotel's view

I’m sure the hotel will have something to say in response. I doubt they want to be marked as a place where you can get mugged and dragged from your room on their watch.

Or so I'm told.

Good thing you guys drafted another running back (that you don’t need). Better call Doug Gabriel, I think he’s unemployed.

Lane Kiffin will be too by game 6.

Timelines don't match up

According Vegas’ Fox Channel, he left Body English at the Hard Rock at 6:30am and was found at 7:19am.

How was he pulled out of his room at 5:30am? Did he and his attackers go to the Hard Rock afterward to buy more Champagne?

Actually

It is a lovely way to pass the time with a bleeding, knocked out NFL player—if you happen to have one around.

Prop him up in a seat, buy him a bottle of Cristal and put some sunglasses on his face. Kinda like “Weekend at Bernies”... only better.

by jonahsilas on Jun 18, 2008 4:23 PM MDT up reply actions   0 recs

This fits exactly with my...

theory on why the Raiders have played so poorly the last few years. Al Davis is actually dead and has been for about five years. He is tied to the walker and his staff just kicks it forward. They have a recording of him saying “just win baby” and “get the hell out of my office Lane” and that is all they really need. Think about it, it explains a lot. Why else would a guy that owns a bed and breakfast be hired as an offensive coach a few years ago? I don’t know who is actually pulling the strings but it could be the two guys from Weekend at Bernies. Have you seen either of them in a movie lately?

javon may need a walker.

His Bellagio story may get him a slander suite!
maybe greasy Al can lend him one of his lawyers.
Spraying champagne on people, like he did on NYE ?
If this is true, he brought it all on himself! thank goodness he is now the raiders problem.
Maybe, if he is lucky, the beating knocked some sense into him, and when his orbital lob is healed he will be able to see what an idiot he is.

timeline and other "technicalities"

Hey dont blame walker for his confused time account, they stole his watch !
and they beat him senseless… no wonder he gives a senseless account.
He probably just fell into the Hotel TV back in his room ( a common bronco receiver injury )and needed a story so he would not have to pay for damages.
Combined with the reality that he is a RAIDER, those wounds may be self inflicted !

...it is !

yes I am the former zambini of broncosfreak, and “chef luigi” of the orange mane, but during the night in question, I was at DEJA VU in Vegas when the walker incident went down.
between the hours of 5 and 7 am on the morning in question, I was having waffles wth some of the girls from the club.
I know this is a complete fabrication and has nothing to do with what really happened,which makes it just as viable as javon’s account…and I still have a watch !

Our broncos will be fortunate to win 6 games in the 2008 season;
this will be Shanahans last as the Broncos HC.

Heard on the radio...

...driving home that the Broncos front office found out a little bit more on the Darrent Williams murder that didn’t agree with what Javon Walker said in his HBO interview. The guys on the radio speculated that this was a main reason for him being let go.

Now I wonder if Walker was really telling the truth about that New Year’s eve night…
