Once a hero, now a fool

 40 years ago, Herschel Walker was a star running back at the University of Georgia. It's safe to say that Walker, along with coach Vince Dooley, put the Bulldogs on the map. Walker went on to a productive career in the pros, first in the original USFL with the New Jersey Generals, then moving to the NFL, where he played for three NFC East teams, Dallas, Philadelphia, and the Giants.

Today, Walker is a GOPer returning to the Peach State in an effort to oust Reverend Raphael Warnock. If Walker had traded only on his past glories in college and in the pros, there wouldn't be any issues. He relocated from Texas, where he's made his home since retiring from the NFL, back to Georgia, so no one accuses him of being a carpetbagging candidate. Unfortunately, Walker also has the blessing (read: endorsement) of his former boss with the Generals, Donald John Narcissus Trump, which is also tantamount to the kiss of death, as Dr. Mehmet Oz will soon discover.

Walker appeared on Fox Shmooze on Sunday, and, like most other GOPers who go on the channel, spewed a bunch of fibs and outright lies, following the GOPer party line to discredit President Biden at all costs.

Brian Tyler Cohen breaks down and debunks the lies, and serves up the facts:


When USFL 2.0 opens its season Saturday, I doubt either Walker or Trump will be on hand to see the new Generals take on Birmingham. Better for the league to leave its past behind them in this case.
