    What makes this story more shocking is how quick the money disappeared. Usually hear this kind of story years after a player comes off that big contract.

    sounds to me like he has a real gambling addiction. You can call him an idiot, which he might be, but he is likely dealing with a massive addiction.

    It's more like 3-5%. Still a good chunk of change, though.

    I think Walker heard the phrase "Too Big to Fail" and thought it was about rich fat people.
