Herschel Walker

[heavy_duty]

ATLANTA (AP) -- Georgia football legend Herschel Walker is expected to reveal in an upcoming book that he has multiple personalities -- a revelation that surprises the man who coached the 1982 Heisman Trophy winner.

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

"Breaking Free" will chronicle Walker's life with multiple personality disorder, according to Shida Carr, the book's publicist at Simon & Schuster.

Carr said the book will be published in August, but gave no other details and declined to provide excerpts.​

He's jacked for his age. I saw him on pros vs joes last year. He was impressive. I tried to no avail to find that clip/recent pic, but alas I failed you lol

When I was a kid I used to train like him
Id do pushups during every TV commercial
Walker used to do like 2000 a day with his wife on his back

the man was incredible

I almost cried when he left GA early to sign with the USFL. It was a big deal, he would have won back-to-back Heismanns. I remember a Sports Illus cover story in 1982 which detailed his workout routine. 300 pushups before bed every night or something like that.

I remember seeing him on a talk show one day I was home from work sick.
He said he did 1500 push ups throughout the day and 1500 situps.

this may have been around 1987 I could be wrong on the year.

I saw a few dozen USFL games including herschel with the new jersey generals. my college was a block away from legion field in birmingham and we'd just walk on down to the games
drunk and stoned
or hungover

There's a story that Bo hit a homer in Athens that hit the outfield scoreboard while it was still going up.

auburn came to play my NAIA school in baseball and I was there and Bo hit 2 homers and 2 doubles

deion
it's said that hitting a major league fastball with consistent success is the most difficult task in the 4 major sports
though I might argue scoring goals in the NHL is more difficult

in any event,an athlete that can hit in the major leagues and have good success in another sport gets my admiration

Michael Jordan failed in baseball
Deion and Bo were all-stars in baseball and that was their "second" sport
Brian Jordan had success too

I might rank Deion over BO as I imagine being an NFL DB requires a good degree more split-second mental talent than just running at open holes

The bro was jacked and never really lifted.

push-ups, pull-ups and sit-ups. . .didn't really do anything else until he entered the pro ranks. . .truly a gifted physical specimen. . .

The thing about Jordan is even though he truly sucked at baseball, I think he put way more into improving his God given ability than Deion or Bo ever thought about doing.

he didn't "suck". . .he just tried to pull it off too late in life. . .i believe that if he would have tried it earlier, he would have succeeded. . .
