Gotta hope for the best after everything we went through. I just saw this on ESPN, I know this is kind of a so/so link, but since its on ESPN its pretty legit.

I was just about to post this. Sounds like he is in better condition now. Still, orbital fracture can't be good

Hope he's ok. But ordering champagne until 6:30 in the morning...damn! I heard he dropped over $25k on champagne. I wish I could do that

After witnessing the Darrent Williams murder first hand you'd think maybe he'd be a little more careful while 'clubbing' til all hours ... or at least use a couple grand to hire some body guards.

A guy on my high school wrestling team fractured his orbital during practice once. The side of his face swelled up and turned this strange green color, making him look like a zombie or something. You could tell right away that it was serious. It was not a pretty sight.
Then again, if I remember correctly the guy's bone was basically pushing on the back of his eyeball, so that might have been a 'worst case scenerio,' but still.

Hopefully he recovers quickly.

This is what happens when you act like an asshole and throw money around like a fool at a club! What a Jerkoff! Is this surprising at all to anyone? I hope this bum is broke after football...

You wish you could act like this??? Dude, you deserve an ass beating too!

Um...ok? I meant I wish I had an extra $25k lying around that I could drop on bottles of champagne...

That's terrible that that happened. Still, with the recent raft of high profile athlete robberies I think these guys need to start taking their security a little more seriously. More specifically, if you are going to spray a nightclub crowd with Dom P don't be on a street by yourself later.

exact same thing happened to me. robbed, left unconscious with an orbital tri-pod fracture of my eye. $20,000 dollars to put 2 screws and plates in my eye socket and a plastic band to keep the eye ball from drooping.

weird thing is after 7 years no problem until last week when a screw came loose now i gotta have surgery to have all the metal removed.

yeah i deserved it, anyone who goes out after dark to have a good time deserves to wake up in the hospital. (*sarcasm)

go skins!

Nice take OTM. You are absolutely right that, in spite of the fact that Walker didn't act prudently, it is horrendous that our country has descended to the state that we blame victims of violent crime for not being more careful. As somone who moved from Baltimore to one of the safest countries in the world I can tell you that it's a wonderful feeling to be able to stay out late without any fear of anyone doing wrong to you.

Are you familiar with Zach Sowers? He was a friend of mine, recently married, who was beaten into a coma. He passed away this year. His crime was walking home alone from a bar in Baltimore.

I don't claim to have any solutions, but I do think we have to take pause when we all start blithely accepting violence as a regular fact of American life.

dmek, you say that as if Walker deserved this.

He didn't deserve it at all. But he's got to use more common sense. If one of my friends got shot in the neck and died in my arms I probably would never ever go to a nightclub ever again. But that's just me. Apparently the dude is buying 15k worth of champaign and spraying the crowd with it???? I mean why is he doing this? Why is he acting like this?? You know someone got pissed and someone ran up on him and beat the shit out of him. Would you see Jason Campbell, Tom Brady, Peyton Manning or Tomlinson doing this? No. Again he didn't deserve this. But if you put yourself in this type of position, spraying people with champaign, then you're only asking for it. I hope he's OK.

i don't mean that. but because of the money, and higher public image they have, they definitely become more of a target (then me or you). and when is the last time you were partying at 6:00 in the morning? its all about using good judgement
