Is that you, Herschel?

I've been considering purchasing another personality. I wonder how he likes them.

"That's all news to me," former Georgia coach Vince Dooley told the paper. "All I know is whatever personality he had when he had the football was the one I liked."

Frank Ros, who was captain of Georgia's 1980 national championship team. "I knew he was working on a book but I just thought it was about football. He does 100 things at once and always has projects going on, but that blows me away."

Sure, it is easy to have so many projects going on at once when you have so much help.

Clinton Portis does too.

I think Michael Jordan did too. Herschel thought he was a bobsled racer, Jordan thought he was a baseball player.

It is simply referred to as "The Trade." It was the largest player trade in NFL history, and it led to a Super Bowl-caliber Vikings squad being decimated, a 2-time Super Bowl champion Cowboys team being built, and Vikings GM Mike Lynn being perhaps the most hated man in the world by Vikings fans. The Trade took place on October 12, 1989. Believing the Vikings to be only a big-time RB away from winning it all, Lynn acquired Herschel Walker from the Cowboys for five roster players (LB Jesse Solomon, DB Issiac Holt, RB Darrin Nelson, LB David Howard, DE Alex Stewart), and 6 assorted draft picks (conditional 1st & 2nd round in '90 and '91; 1st round and conditional 3rd in '92).

This trade seems a little more fair now. 11 players for ten Herschel's.And his daily 2500 situps/1500 pushups are only 250 & 150 per personality.

Okay, I'm done now. Thoughts and prayers.

Suddenly Herschel's annoying habit of speaking of himself in the third person begins to make a lot more sense.

A former Georgia teammate also was caught off guard by Walker's revelation.

"I'm probably one of his closest friends and that's news to me," said Frank Ros, who was captain of Georgia's 1980 national championship team. "I knew he was working on a book but I just thought it was about football. He does 100 things at once and always has projects going on, but that blows me away."

Reminds me of the multi-tasking commercial on TV right now with all the little versions of people running around.

That would have been awesome if he was Herschel Walker when he was with the Vikings.

If this is true, 95 times out of 100, multiple personality is the result of severe abuse as a child. Will his book reveal that too?

 

[Pygmy Marmoset]

It's amazing how misunderstood this disorder is. As mentioned above, I'd bet dollars to doughnuts he was horribly abused as a child if he has DID. The book likely has some great messages.

 

[monessen]

If he did suffer from this illness, several things could probably established:

1. He was never alone.

2. When Jimmy Johnson ripped off Mike Lynn and the Vikings on the infamous Walker for a zillion players trade, maybe Johnson cunningly convinced Lynn that Walker was, in fact, many different players.

3. In the year Walker "fell asleep listening to music" in his closed garage with the car running and this being denied as a suicide attempt, wasn't there at least one personality cogent enough to say "Hey, wait a minute, wake up! I want to live?"

Aw come on Jim, we both know that Herschel wasn't himself when he was with our Vikes.

 

[Statorama]

Does he need money THIS badly?

hay carumba.
