: LAS VEGAS (AP) — A police spokesman says Oakland Raiders wide receiver Javon Walker was found unconscious on a Las Vegas street after apparently being the victim of a robbery.
Police spokesman Bill Cassell says in a statement that Walker was taken to a hospital with "significant injuries" after being found early Monday on a street off the Las Vegas Strip.
Cassell says Walker remains in fair condition at Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center.
A Raiders spokesman said the team was "in the process of gathering information" and had no further comment.
THIS GUY IS EITHER A REAL WANKSTA...OR HE GOT SOME BAD LUCK...LAST YEAR ON NEW YEARS IT WAS HIM WHO HELD HIS DYING TEAMMATE DARRANT WILLIAMS WHEN THEIR LIMO GOT SHOT UP...NOW THIS DUDE GETS A FAT CONTRACT FROM THE RAIDERS AND GOES 2VEGAS ON A MONDAY...GOOD 4U KID...SHOULDA JUST STAYED HOME AND COUNTED YOUR MONEY HOMIE...
This dude needs to seriously rethink his life and slow down. His teammate was shot and died in his arms after a night of partying; fast forward a year and a half later and now HE gets robbed and assaulted after another round of late night partying. I thought he "learned his lesson" from his bloody clothes after Darrent Williams died. Guess not.
Reminds me of the Mos Def song "Got"....
Its just not smart to be out here flossin' your riches and acting all brand new....Cats who are hungry dont give a damn about the NBA/NFL/Your Hot new album and will straight snatch that azz...
At some points, these young brothers with money and fame need to learn to be humble and smart about it...We already lost Sean Taylor and Darrent Williams...We dont need to lose any more.
Well I hope he recovers soon...Alot of pro athletes/entertainers/celebs go to Vegas to have a good time...Sometimes people do not like to be couped up in a house all day...We don't know all of the details surrounding this so we shouldn't just jump to conclusions...
My thing is, if you are going to be out like that, have tight security and an entourage/some of your peers with you. Vegas is a hot spot so naturally people are going to go there and it isn't just the rich Black men.
They said he was pouring champagne into the crowd. He was the last person I would expect to be drunk and acting the fool in a club after what happened to his teammate.
I dont know what happened or him, but I wonder if he's one of them tacky, classless dudes, who likes to throw money into the crowd.
That sh!t is the stupidest, tackiest, classless act I've ever seen in my 10 years of clubbin'.
I broke with this girl I was dating because she thought there was nothing wrong with it. It showed me what kind of person she was.
