Don’t let the door hit you in the 4$$ on the way out. Apparently Walker wants out of Green Bay. I don’t want to spend much time on this; I have some funky toenails that need clipping and that should be ranking higher on the priorities than this story.
He got a bum deal last year. He was a good talent and wanted to get paid before something bad happened. The Packers stood their ground (as expected). Walker caved in, and shortly thereafter Walker’s left leg caved in as well, fulfilling his prophecy. He was an up-and-comer who now is wearing number “?” instead of “84″. He’s gone public with (say this in a pouty, nasal kid voice) “I’m never gonna wear a green-n-gold jersey again.”
Ok, Javon. Yadda-yadda, you’re unhappy. Yadda-yadda, feed your family. I hope your leg heals and you can make enough millions to put a few spaghetti noodles on your family’s dinner plates. I truly do. But find someone who can coach you on your public persona and working within your team/community to build a positive reputation and can tell you when to shut your hole (is there a Jerry MacGuire in the house?). You need that and don’t have it, and without it, you’ll go down in the annals of NFL history as just another one of those lippy, brooding underachievers the pro sports world is already so riddled with (the before version of Rod Tidwell).
Go get yourself an ambassador of kwan.
