One of the few sites we check unrelated to sports is the Drudge Report, because it provides a quick and convenient snap shot of the current stories of note from the non-sports world.
Sometimes, however, something happens in the sports world that becomes worthy of Drudge. Today, a link to the Javon Walker situation appears under the heading “NFL STAR’S ABDUCTION CLAIM; VEGAS MYSTERY.”
The site then links to a recent item from the Las Vegas Review-Journal, which quotes the quote of Walker from TheDirty.com, in which Walker provides his “Land Shark” explanation for the robbery. (And, yeah, Taco Bill has come up with a special Pic of the Day on this point.)
Here’s a new tidbit we noticed in the Review-Journal article: The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reported that, according to police, robbers put Walker in a car and beat him up. It’s got some of the same elements of Walker’s explanation, except for the fact that Walker says he was beat up — and knocked the f–k out — before being put in the car.
The Vegas newspaper also addresses the issue of champagne showers.
“It’s just lighting the fuse,” one club operator told the Review-Journal. “Things can flare up quick.”
Said a representative from another club: “We consider it the same as throwing your drink on someone. When it happens at our club, they are escorted out immediately.”

I can’t wait for the Billagio’s security camera videos to refute Walker’s bogus claims.
So, what was he really doing between 3:30 and when he was found? Hookers??? Drugs??? It must have been something illegal, to concoct a BS story like he did.

So this site is writing up a story about another website that quoted another site that quoted the original site with Walker’s version of events.
When the story here is that the story made another site, that’s pretty much the definition of a slow news day. LOL

Does anyone on here actually visit TheDirty.com regularly? It is a gossip site not a news site, and no one cares unless there are some scandalous pics attached anyway. Obviously what was posted on that site did NOT happen, so when Javon gets his story straight, it will be much easier for him to say the site is lying, since they have no journalistic credibility.

You’d think Florio would break down and send Taco Bill to some photoshop classes….. He needs to graduate from using MS Paint.

I actually think Taco Bill’s image editing skills are very impressive. Editing images is easy to do, but to add hair without it being obvious is hard.. see Urlacher/Johnson image.
JeffC, you ever think - maybe he wanted to give it a cheap effect - since it’s supposed to be a new logo DESIGNED by the Raiders???

This spraying in a club is not only dumb but it is dangerous. I worked at a club in Atlanta in which this happened and it started a brawl almost instantly.
It is just a morons way of showing wealth, like “making it rain”.

OMG, you read the Drudge Report? I think you might find more factual stories on The Onion.
