I agree. Carrying that much cash or wearing that much bling is stupid without your posse with you. Will you be my posse, GM?

For my posse, I want some gun toting Browns fans...

I heard the same thing on NFL Radio. He had $3,000 cash on him and I thought they said 100LBS of jewelery. Him having all that and acting they way he did he was just asking for it I am sad to say. And he got it alright

Like others have said I also don't give a crap what anyone else does. But there is one reason only to wear all that bling, carry a phat roll of cash, and spray expensive champagne on people. And that is to bring attention onto one's self. And he got attention alright,,in the form of an ass beating. I do feel sorry for him slightly because it sounds like whoever did that was straight jeleous and just a no good thug who wanted something for nothing, but the guy kinda asked for it.

I'm not posting the actual story because I'm not sure where the refs draw the rumor line at. I've been booted before for posting info from profootballtalk's rumormill, so I won't post the story or video.

But if you go to their rumor mill, there's several stories there. One is an actual video of Walker spraying the crowd with the champagne, another is an excerpt from an interview he did, giving an account that didn't make sense. The other is a rumor that involves Floyd Mayweather.

Check it out if anyone is interested.

Arch, Clay, and GM can be my posse. Arch and Clay have the guns and are (supposebly ) good shots. GM has gas and his ugliness scares everyone away.

Yah like the people robbing him had no idea who he was before he sprayed the boose... come on man.... give me a break...

---

I wouldn't know him and I doubt most other people would either unless he made it a point to make sure they knew who he was... which brings me back to my original comment about just having a good time without making yourself the center of attention....

If i had the kind of moeny eh has i would do the same thing...and so would you...don't you try and tell me otherwise.....it's just badluck..

---

Probably not... I'm not a "oh look at me I need to be the center of attention" kind of guy.....

So it is now suspected that he was wearing $100K in jewelry and carrying $3K in cash and spraying expensive champagne on people... I stand by everything I've said so far.

would have to agree with anyone who questions the intelligence of Mr. Walker. Williams death was sad, Javon's actions seem foolish and ignorant

---

That's kinda my point.. Thanks

I don't care how a player spends his money.. But some things, like staying out till 6am when you are that high profile,, well, it's just stupid.,

I wish Javon has a speedy recovery. Nobody ever deserves to be robbed and beaten. That doesn't mean that he was being stupid. I don't know if he was targeted (I think he probably was) but if you are going to walk around with 100 grand worth og jewelry you should have some security with you, or at the very least a car waiting for you.

Just to be clear, I don't blame him for what happened. I just think he wasn't being smart.

Ok thats it.. I'm never arguing OLine or anything football with Peen at a tailgate..

Details surrounding Walker's robbery revealed in police report

Associated Press

LAS VEGAS -- A man charged with kidnapping, beating and robbing NFL player Javon Walker after the Oakland Raiders wide receiver spent a night partying, gambling and club-hopping in Las Vegas was held Friday on bail totaling $86,000.

Arfat Fadel's lawyer, Shane Emerick, a public defender, said outside court he doubted Fadel could make bail, and that Fadel intended to plead not guilty to charges that he and an unidentified second man followed Walker from club to club before enticing him into their vehicle and robbing him.

Justice of the Peace Tony Abbatangelo set bail at $73,000 and scheduled a preliminary hearing for July 16 on four felony charges: first-degree kidnapping, conspiracy to commit robbery, robbery, and battery causing substantial bodily harm. A kidnapping conviction carries a sentence of life in prison with the possibility of parole.

Fadel, 30, of Las Vegas told another judge Wednesday that he couldn't raise $13,000 bail in a separate kidnapping and domestic battery case.

Las Vegas police say Fadel has not cooperated with investigators who are seeking another man shown in surveillance videotapes with Fadel shadowing Walker at nightclubs late June 15.

Police say the 29-year-old Walker "willingly" got into a vehicle with Fadel and the other man in a valet area at the posh Bellagio resort about dawn June 16. Walker, who a police lieutenant characterized as intoxicated, was found robbed, beaten and unconscious a little more than an hour later.

Walker suffered broken bones in his jaw and around his right eye, and a concussion, according to a police report submitted to the court. Police said $3,000 in cash, at least two $1,000 gambling chips, two credit cards, and a watch, diamond earrings and necklace worth a combined $100,000 were taken. The items have not been recovered.

The police report details Walker's visit to the Body English nightclub, where he was photographed spraying champagne into the crowd, and a brief a foray to the Hard Rock casino where police say he won $1,600 playing blackjack before he went to the Dorm Days after-hours club at the Hard Rock.

Walker arrived back at the Bellagio in a car with a female friend before police said he got into a black Range Rover with Fadel and the other suspect about 6 a.m.

Walker later told police he never met the men before.

Walker called his female friend once, and said he was at Drai's, an after-hours nightclub at Bill's Gamblin' Hall & Saloon on the Strip. Walker was found unconscious shortly after 7 a.m. several blocks away.

The Range Rover was seen on surveillance videotapes at the Bellagio and at Drai's, police said. It was traced to Fadel's girlfriend, Alicia Granstedt, 32, of Los Gatos, Calif., and was found near an extended-stay motel near the Strip.

That was where Fadel was arrested June 20 on felony kidnapping, coercion and misdemeanor domestic violence battery charges, after police questioned Granstedt about a loud argument in the room the night before and found bruises on her legs and wrists, according to police reports. Granstedt allegedly gave police conflicting accounts about how she was injured, and told detectives she did not want to press charges.

A judge has set a July 9 preliminary hearing on that case.

Police said Granstedt told detectives she had no involvement in the robbery, but that Fadel borrowed her Range Rover about midnight June 15. She told police she cashed two $1,000 Hard Rock gambling chips that Fadel gave her June 16.

Any six year should know not to get into a car with strangers. Let's make that a double-rule if you're intoxicated, carrying a hundred grand worth of crap around.
