The Rant: If Herschel Walker could turn back time
January 26, 2011
Former NFL running back Herschel Walker wants to be the George Foreman of football.
No, he doesn’t want to endorse his own line of super-efficient grills. Instead, he wants to make a geriatric comeback to the gridiron.
In fact, Walker even gave a short list of his possible suitors in the Minnesota Vikings or the Atlanta Falcons.
Uh oh, better start hitting the gym, Adrian Peterson and Michael Turner, so Old Man Time doesn’t swipe your job.
To his credit, Walker isn’t in poor shape as he’s been dabbling in mixed martial arts since 2007.
But has he forgotten the vast differences between grappling in a ring and getting hit in the head on the football field?
There’s a slim chance Walker could pull this off, but I suggest he stick with catching reruns of “The Golden Girls.”
