In Herschel Walker’s latest humiliating fumble, he says he won’t debate Raphael Warnock because people will be watching Sunday Night Football. The problem with that excuse? The debate is on a Thursday. You have to see this to believe it.

I don't like the guy, but if you look up the SNF schedule, the first listed game is Buffalo and LA on Thursday, September 8th.

And Walker's team suggested the date. October 14 is on a Friday this year. Next excuse for Walker Friday night football!





Walker announced on Sean Hannity’s Fox News show Tuesday night that he’ll debate Warnock on Oct. 14 in Savannah, Ga. It would be a one-hour debate with two local journalists posing questions and one moderator, all streamed and aired by Nexstar Media’s Fox 5 Atlanta and in seven media markets, according to details of the arrangement.

not only on a different day, and in a different week, but in an entirely different month.

Walker is an idiot.

Once the NFL and college football seasons begin, there will be a game of some sort on every weeknight except Tuesdays and Wednesdays. This is just more of Herschel's BS.

The man has a low IQ of maybe 65-70, and that was BEFORE football head injuries.

Walker's campaign requested this debate and no others were going to happen.

Warnock agreed to three, Walker won't agree to those but then came up with ANOTHER one on the 14th that Warnock had not agreed to attend.

It's the "evade and lie about it" that is their new norm.

The debate is set for a Thursday night, not a Sunday. It is a co-sponsored debate by 13WMAZ, our Atlanta station 11Alive, Georgia Public Broadcasting, The Telegraph and Mercer’s Center for Collaborative Journalism at Mercer University.

*snip*

There will have a live audience and the debate will be available across all WMAZ platforms and with our media partners.

Walker has accepted a debate invitation on Oct. 14 in Savannah. The debate is hosted by the Nexstar Media Group and other television stations.

"It is like the 'Rumble in the Jungle.' Everyone gets a chance to see he and I go at it," Walker said in Wrightsville on Friday. "This little country boy that's not too smart, and I am trying to unseat a Senator who is wrecking things... He ought to get to Savannah, Georgia, to go up against Herschel Walker."

Walker accepted the Nexstar debate during an appearance on Fox News during Sean Hannity’s show in early August.

“It is time that people see the difference. So on Oct. 14, I want Sen. Warnock to be ready because I have accepted a debate,” Walker said during the appearance. “Now he can quit talking and show the people he’s going to stand behind his words and show up for the debate.”

For being a broken-down exfootball "star" which the only star status he has are the stars that remain from all his years of concussions.
