“But a review of hundreds of pages of public records tied to Walker’s business ventures and his divorce, including many not previously reported, sheds new light on a turbulent personal history that could dog his Senate bid.”

He was treated as a work horse and was used by "owners" and coaches his entire life.

He was a good college player. I'll give him that. But, OMG.
