Chicago Police are investigating whether the Monday morning shootings of two men near the Rock 'n' Roll McDonald's resulted from a fight that spilled out of a club where there was a party for NBA player Antoine Walker, sources said. The birthday party for Walker was held Sunday at Excalibur according to sources close to the player. But Walker's mother--who was at the party all night--said there were no fights she was aware of at the gathering.

Rock n Roll McDonalds, now serving Air Guitar Smoothies. I wonder if they played on the PlayScape?

Toine never learns. It happens almost every summer and it seems like it's not a coincidence.

August 20, 2008  09:04 AM ET

Hopefully, they were celebrating his retirement.

August 20, 2008  09:21 AM ET

Sounds like guilt by association.

August 20, 2008  09:50 AM ET

Maybe even guilt by non-association. Guilty of PWB.

So what?? If there was a fight the "spilled" from the club what does that have to do w/ Walker....last I heard, clubs are public places....sounds pretty random to me.

Sounds like you smoke from the same pipe as 'Toine. How many times should this happen until ppl stop using the term "random"??
How many times can it be a coincidence? You'did say the same thing if another white girls body ended up in OJ's house too?
Walks like a duck, talks like a duck...its a freaking duck!! Its called connecting the dots. Not just looking at the dots like Richard Cheney!!!

ESPN,

You earned your name this morning.

If you read the story you would have found out that the only connection between the shooting and the party is that they both happened on the same night in close proximity to one another.

Neither Walker nor anyone connected to him is in any way alledged to be connected with the shooting. Yet, you've made a connection and liken this to the OJ Simpson case, wow!

That's not "connecting the dots" that's "connecting the thin air"!

remeber that old NBA Live commercial in 2000 or 2001. Cyber 'Toine

It was all about the Antoine Walker when he was on the Celtics, and not a punk...

I was dropped on the head as a child and shaken very often. I was told it was ok until recently i made a stupid comment on fannation.

I'm dumfounded and you're just dumb. I'm on a sports thread discussing sports. I express my opinion the same as everyone else.

You want me as an enemy, okay, you got it.

Let's get ready to rumble!!!!

i'm not sure cheney even looked at the dots.

The only way Walker was involved in a fight, would be if they moved the buffett outside.

You have a perfectly legit right (just as I do) to post your OPINION or diagreements with the ISSUE on hand. There is no room for any personal vilification here.
I'm perfectly capable of making some sort of smartass comments about you personally , too (I've read your earlier postings too), but will pass on it. Get a life.

August 20, 2008  06:01 PM ET

Antoine Walker still exists? Nice.
