Herschel Walker made every NFL team that he played for get worse.

1. It's the Republican way.

2. He did. He couldn't cut like great backs do.

He was a straight line runner, which gets you tackled quicker. He did help the Dallas Cowboys get better though...when he got traded by coach Jimmie Johnson. They got seven players for him IIRC, which lead to their three Super Bowl wins in the '90s.

3. Herschel will be wearing a phony Super Bowl ring soon.

To match his little toy police badge, phony FBI ID and doctored UGA diploma.

4. Even his GA coach remarked "I don't think he knew where he was running, but one thing was for sure--

he was going somewhere in a hurry."

By the time you turn pro, you should know a little more about where you're supposed to be going.

(NB: In the article at the link, Walker claims he was high school valedictorian.)

5. If Herschel wins, will be shocked if he completes a full six-year Senate term. In addition to

his mental impairments, he attracts trouble and problems. All that Senate detail work involving reading and listening will bore him stiff -- even if his staff dutifully tells him how to vote and he manages to keep a staff. He's imagining the power that goes with the office, not the monotony, and he'll be in trouble within the first two years.

7. GOP senators are typically protected by McConnell at all costs.

So anything he does will be covered up.

That team responsible for that job has its work cut out for it.

6. Sounds like the kind of leader the GOP loves.

Make everything worse.

8. IIRC (fuzzy memory)

when he was on the Eagles, they ended up using him for "Special Teams" for punt returns.

Some interesting stats though.

9. Jimmy Johnson trading Walker for a boat load of picks

Helped build the 1990 Cowboy dynasty.
