I wouldn’t want any piece of Herschel...
like george foreman, he provides a little hope for us old farts. :) (i’m only 40, but...)
Herschel needs to get in better shape next time...(obvious sarcasm)
GO!!!! You Herschel Walker!!!!!
“Mixed Martial Arts”? Call me sexist, but I figure the guys would have an unfair advantage.
ha! I think you’re confusing “martial” with “marital” :-)
In which case the guys are at a distinct disadvantage!!
Anyone who willingly fights Herschel Walker really needs the help of a Psychiatrist, although a regular doctor would prob be needed first.
He left his shoe in Minnesota. Other than that, I have nothing to say about the guy.
I loved to watch him play football. He had a unique running style. He had blazing, Olympic caliber speed but was so big his did very little cutting back. Instead, he would tip toe to the line looking for a seam and then he would explode. He would be running full speed in a couple of steps.
Congrats to Herschel on the victory, however, the opponent he fought was just horrible. I haven’t seen fighting skills that bad in a high-level MMA organization since the early days of the UFC when only a few fighters really knew how to fight.
4th degree blackbelt in tkd!
Hershel’s personal website says 5th degree
Oh yeah, did he test for his 5th dan recently? I forgot. Anyway, he must have all the sherdogers and bullshidoites wincing. TMA’s back!

He almost single-handedly won three Super Bowls for Dallas in the ‘90s.
That's what happens when you replace a Georgia Bulldog running back, with a Florida Gator running back.
That’s a tough one for me - as a Florida State graduate who is a lifelong Cowboys fan. I have immense respect for Emmitt Smith and what he did in Dallas. I do wish I could have seen Herschel Walker run behind that ‘93, ‘94, and ‘96 championship offensive line, but (as I alluded to in my comment) that line probably wouldn’t have existed but for the blockbuster trade-of-all-trades that sent Walker to Minnesota. That trade involved 18 players directly, and I think I read one time that a total of something like 50 players or so wore a Dallas uniform at one point or another as a direct or indirect result of that trade.
Emmitt Smith himself was a direct result of the trade, as Dallas used Minnesota’s 1st round pick in 1990 to trade up a few spots to take Smith.
