The past two years have been eventful for Javon Walker; however, in this case, eventful means bad for Raiders reciever Javon Walker. In these two years Walker has been involved in a teammates death, and a beat-down on a street close to the stip in Vegas. The last thing I want to do is make false assertions, but I can't help but wonder if trouble follows Walker around.

On January 1, 2007, Walker left a night club with fellow teammate Darrent Williams. Williams and two other passengers were shot when another vehicle pulled beside his rented Hummer H2 limousine in downtown Denver, Colorado. Williams died in Walkers arms shorty after 2:00 a.m. Walker said in an interview with Andrea Kremer of HBO's Real Sports that the attacks likely stemmed from a confrontation from bar patrons with rookie wideout Brandon Marshall and his cousin. I'm not sure if Walker had anything to do with the confrontation, but under the circumstances, I can't see him not getting in on the confrontation.

Just after 7AM on Monday, June 16, 2008, Walker was found unconscious in Las Vegas, Nevada, on a street just off the Las Vegas Strip. Police say he was the victim of an apparent robbery and a large amount of cash and some jewelry were taken from him. Authorities are continuing to investigate the incident. Again, trouble found Javon. Either Javon's got a really big mouth and likes to flaunt his money, jewls and playing ability around, or he's the victim of bad luck.

Something about these incidents don't add up. There is something more to Javon Walker that we (the public) don't know. There's something about the people Javon hangs out with that will one day get him killed. Professional athletes have everything, and they have to understand that people will do anything to take that away from them. Keep it clean Javon. I enjoy watching you on Sunday's.

Ducks coach Mike Bellotti announced Thursday that QB Cade Cooper will transfer to Southern Utah. Oregon's QB roster is down to the following: Nate Costa, Justin Roper, Chris Harper, Darron Thomas, and Jeremiah Masoli. I'm sure Cade could have survived in the Oregon offense; however, with so many players all competing for time, this is the best thing for him. Best of Luck Cade.

The so-called dream job that landed in John McLaren's lap almost one year ago ended on Thursday morning when he became the latest victim to the Mariners' nightmarish season.

What the Lakers need is another banger. The Lakers need a player who isn't afraid to stir some stuff up. The guy is Ron Artest. Personally, I'd love to see this move. Artest seems like a good fit for the Lakers, but can Kobe exist with this guy? Laker fans chime in, let me know what you think.

Arizona Cardinals running back J.J. Arrington was among five people arrested after a fight at a nightclub in North Carolina.

Sources within the Red Wings organization confirm that goalie Chris Osgood, who is currently engaged in accompanying the Stanley Cup on a victory tour of talk shows and publicity events, has repeatedly and insistently claimed to have gotten as far as third base with hockey's championship trophy during the past week.

Phil Jackson's time as Lakers head coach is running out. Against the Celtics, Jackson got totally, completely and utterly exposed in the finals. He flat out didn't coach the Lakers. He showed no emotion and got out coached by Doc Rivers. Phil Jackson made zero adjustments. It looked like Jackson was in pain. he didn't prepare his team, they didn't play hard, they didn't step up and they didn't defend Ray Allen or James Posey.

Jackson is a hall or fame coach, take nothing away from him from that perpective, but Jackson cannot connect with his players anymore. It's time for Phil Jackson to go. Phil wants credit for nine championships, then he gets blame for this total embarrassment. Thanks Calvinat!

Dan Hawkins tells a story about his early days as a head coach at Willamette University, a Division III school in Oregon. He is on the sideline during a game, his team at one end of the field and his barely school-age sons Cody and Drew at the other end.

6-10, 271 pounds, and 17.5 points per game. Who wouldn't want a player like this on your NBA team? At the end of the month Kevin Love will be a top 13 pick in the NBA Draft. The problem with that...The Blazers have the 13th pick in the NBA Draft.

Love has been impressing GM's across the NBA. He had a great pre draft workout in Orlando, and has been showing off his knack for scoring while working out for NBA teams. Not so fast Blazer brass. You've got to realize what every NBA GM will soon understand. Kevin Love can't get the job done. He's undersized for an NBA center. He's overweight, and if you saw the Final Four, you can get an idea what NBA defences will do to this guy.

Memphis ate Kevin Love up. He couldn't score with the ball, he couldn't pass the ball, Love couldn't even get a rebound. It's not going to get better in the NBA. Love is going to end up being exactly like Michal Doleac. Blazer brass, do everyone in the city of Portland a favor and just say no to Kevin Love.

Terrell Owens isn't worried about being tested for drugs as many as 24 times a year now. Still, he's frustrated. "They can test me 1,000 times," the Dallas Cowboys receiver said Wednesday. "I know that I don't use illegal stuff, so I'm good."

NBA referee Bob Delaney, one of three referees to work Game 6 of the 2002 Western Conference finals, told Bob Ley in an interview for ESPN's "Outside The Lines First Report" that he has never been contacted by NBA or federal investigators concerning allegations by former referee Tim Donaghy that two referees in that game intended to assure that series went seven games.

Ken Griffey Jr. became the newest member of an elite club on Monday. With his two-run shot vs. the Marlins, Griffey became just the sixth player in MLB history with 600 career homers to his name. Next up? Sammy Sosa and 609.

Former Pistons role player and assistant Michael Curry was introduced Tuesday as the team's new coach.

Kobe Bryant was all smiles the other day and talking to a tall bearded guy, who wasn't making grotesque, contorted faces at him in return, so that ruled out Pau Gasol.

On the same day the Dallas Cowboys announced that wide receiver Terrell Owens had agreed to a contract extension with $13 million in guaranteed money, Owens was in New York meeting with NFL officials after being placed in the league's "reasonable cause" testing program for performance-enhancing drugs, sources told ESPN.
