Updated throughout the day with quick takes from staff.
"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."Now how, exactly, did the three gun-toting guys in black ski masks (is there any other way to rob someone?) get an unconscious Walker from his room and to a car without anyone in the hotel being the wiser? There is one explanation: The burglars celebrate McCarthy-Silverman's entire late 80s collection.

They could have used bandanas if they wanted to go with a more “western” feel to the whole endeavor, but those black ski masks are just so in these days

This guy is out celebrating that he just robbed Al Davis and the Oakland Raiders, He hasnt contributed nothing cut him right now so this cancer doesnt ruin another raider season. He made the same mistake twice he doesnt care about football he is about the money and the easy living. A great coach like mike shannahan saw the writing on the wall with this guy cut him save yourself another overpaid do nothing

I cant take this team anymore more and more overpaid washed up no good talent. Learn from a great player like Ron Curry a two time achilles injury returnee. This type of injury to a WR no less Players like Ron deserve all the praise for coming back. This is what the NFL needs and Oakland needs a football player and hard worker most WRS in this leauge would have quit.CUT THAT CANCER OUT AL AND LANE GET RID JAVON NOW HE IS HERE FOR THE $$$$$ NOT FOR FOOTBALL GIVE A YOUNG KID A CHANCE TO EXCELL.

Hey Matt, I’m with ya on the over paying players that haven’t proved themselves in several years, but it’s way too early to tell.We all know Javon can be a top notch WR when he’s healthy, his knee being more of a question to me than being a team cancer.When is the last time Shanahan made a sound decision not based on himself? Not really Walkers fault for being attacked and beat up? What’s up with the casino/hotel security is what I want to know.
