He came to our hospital and spoke when I was in the military. As a dept head, I "got" to have lunch with him. It was weird. He's really out there

so it's possible. He played on Trump's team right?

I'm sure they were "friends" during that time.

I don't really care though. If your top get is Herschel Walker in 2020, it must only be because Doug Flutie turned you down.

Walker played for the Generals of the USFL — owned by Trump — before he destroyed the league.

Walker played for Trump's team, the New Jersey Generals.

Trump promoted legal actions against the NFL that essentially caused the USFL to go out of business.

Everything Trump touches dies.

And that didn't clue HW in that this guy is an incompetent blowhard.

Forget head trauma from pro football, he was messed up even back then.
