No More 'Skywalker' U-Stream For Sims-Walker

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Who knew U-stream star Mike Sims-Walker would be the Jaguars new star wide receiver.

Sims-Walker is the team's leading wideout, with three catches and a touchdown last Sunday against the Jets.

Sims-Walker made headlines last month when he reported live from 30,000-feet on the Jaguars team flight to Seattle.

His clips appeared live on a web site called U-stream.
He was declared inactive against Seattle for a violation of team rules.

A Jaguars spokesperson says it wasn't because of U-stream and the team didn't have a policy in place because the technology is so new.

But we do know Mike Sims-Walker's Skywalker U-stream show hasn't been online since.

The last clip is from 38 days ago aboard that flight to Seattle.

But he's still a big fan of Twitter, cheering on his UCF Knights over their upset win over Houston and telling everyone Sunday night, "Just landed safe 'n' sound in Jacksonville."

This morning, we updated some of our most popular stories from Good Morning Jacksonville.

Several weeks ago, we interviewed Anne Schollard and her cardboard boyfriend, Patrick Thomas.

He's serving overseas, so Anne made a life-size cardboard cutout of Thomas and took him to all his favorite vacation spots in California.

The story was aired across the country, showing up on CNN and MSNBC.

And that's how our friend Jay Leno got a hold of the story.
Leno aired a clip from that story, calling it a sweet story, and the audience got a big laugh out of it.
