http://www.yardbarker.com/rss/player/58987 Recent articles about Bill Walker en-us I have to admit that I was a bit worried about the game against the Thunder. It would have been easy for this team to let up. Last game of a 4 game road trip. Playing in the second of back to back games after a tough win over the Spurs the night before. But they came out strong and dominated from start to finish. I loved during the game that Mike and Donny spent time talking about Perk. They were discussing that he is only 25 years old and actually younger than their rookie, Lester ...

However, Mark Sanchez did his best to challenge, then Kansas State forward, Bill Walker in that regard. With the Jets running all over the Raiders, the golden boy grabbed himself a dog, and went to town. ViaLike I said, he's no Walker....and he's certainly no Carson Palmer....but it was still awfully entertaining. Sanchez even had a comment about it after the game.&quot...

 I'm sure Bill Walker has given interviews before, but I'll be damned if I've heard one.  But for 7 minutes, Bill talked to New England Cable News about everything from how the C's are the team to beat to how he still watches cartoons, to how he's working with kids to help them make healthy choices. Very good interview.  He seems like a very humble guy, and a guy who is dedicated to helping his community.  If you're looking for a guy on the team to take the mantl...
