Oakland Raiders wide receiver Javon Walker remains hospitalized after he was beat-up, robbed and left unconscious on a Las Vegas street after a long night of partying.

“We don’t believe this is a random act,” Police Lt. Clinton Nichols told the San Francisco Chronicle. “They knew who he was and [Walker] presented a target. We did get a surveillance [video] of a vehicle and suspects that may have been involved.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall is recovering nicely from the arm injury he suffered from roughhousing with his family but he is still having a hard time wiping his ass.

“I can do everything with my right hand that I was doing before the accident but I’m still wiping my butt with my left hand,” Marshall said. “It’s not as strong. My right hand is not as strong.”

Brandon Marshall is pretty rich, I’m surprised he even wipes his own ass. If I was a millionaire I would never touch another roll of toilet paper ever again.

After the fine from the Portuguese Football League UEFA decided to exclude Porto from the Championship League. But new evidence has been submitted and next week the UEFA’s Control and Disciplinary Body will reassess its original decision.

I do wonder what made them suspect Porto was actually trying to bribe the judges. Because how does that old saying go – where there is smoke, there is usually fire. Let’s not forget there is a LOT of money in football.

He is purposely being a distraction and if the Bengals were smart they would just tape him to the goal post and leave him be.
