J-Walk

Javon Walker.



First off, I want to say I hope he goes on to live a long fulfilling life in general.

Second, this is reason number 412 why I'm glad the Pack traded him for 3 cents on the dollar.
Third, the following is not condoning whatever the guy or guys did to J-Walk. Whomever did this probably deserves to be in prison.

Fourth, it would serve him right if he was hurt so badly he never played again. People that make decisions like he allegedly made, should not be allowed to reap the benefits of ridiculous athletic ability, and insane combination of size and speed. He does not deserve the privileges that God (or whatever) has bestowed upon him, while John Doe busts his ass in the paper mill for $12 bucks an hour and his wife Mary Jane Rottencrotch cleans rooms at the Super 8 for $6 an hour. These people quite probably had to work twice as hard to be able to afford an extremely modest house in a lower middle class shithole of a neighborhood in Small Town, U.S.A. Meanwhile, J-Walk (who just a year ago had his friend's brains splattered all over his chest after a club incident) is out at not one but TWO different Vegas clubs, again, allegedly, spraying $1000 bottles of Dom P all over people. He did this even though this was the same activity that got his teammate shot right in front of him. Even though, Oakland for some reason gave him a huge contract in the offseason, despite the fact that he was given this contract even though he is coming off his second major knee injury. He did this in a town that he doesn't live in, on stage in front of a bunch of people, while wearing a $100,000 watch. And he did it two nights in a row.

Now, he has an injury that could very well keep him out of action. As this article also points out, this very same injury has ended another Oakland Raiders' career. But J-Walk doesn't care. He doesn't care how truly fortunate he is. He doesn't care how many other people are counting on him. All he cares about is flossin' and conning his next team into trusting him. Good riddance.

The second point is somewhat valid as that 3 cents from that dollar basically landed us Greg Jennings. If Jennings is 3 cents, I'd love to see 30.

I had no idea what we actually got. I guess I pulled a Hardicourt. I should blame some blog.
