    Re: Herschel Walker wants to play football again

    MMA training is rediculous, not to mention the fights themselves can be just as draining as an entire football game condensed into let's say 15 minutes
    Saints, LSU, Seminoles, Pelicans, Marlins, Lightning

        If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

          When I say he can do it, I'm not saying 20-30 carry back. I'm saying make an impact for a team w/ 5-10 touches a game. I very much so believe he can do that.

            I dont care what he looks like.
            A legitimate argument could be made that using age as your only argument is pretty superficial as well.

            It's never been done, sure, but your going to be the one who proclaims it can't be done?

            It's a fair argument, but not a stong enough one to dismiss other's opinions as ridiculous and flat out wrong...

              While also ignoring the fact that at his age he is participating in high level athletic competition.

                      I'll vouch for this on a much lower level. Right now, I have the "appearance" of being in almost as good a shape as I was in my early 20's..........but on the inside I'm pretty much always sore, stiff, and beatdown, and most certainly could not play a contact sport, and I'm 10 years younger than Walker. I wiped out on a wet field doing shuttle runs the other night and was sore for 3 days from it (presumably whip lash?). Sux getting older, man.

                          Difference is he IS already participating in a contact sport... it's just not football, so there is some proof that he can do more than most of us average people could at the age of 50.

                          To be fair, he just answered a question... we're the ones discussing whether he REALLY can or not.

                            The average football starter plays less then 8 minutes of actual live action over the course of a 3 hour game...

                              Here's the thing, Herschel maybe be in great shape, and still have 4.4 speed, but it's about recovery time. In the NFL you play a game and get 6 days (usually) to recover. In MMA you fight about five times a year; there's a lot more recovery time. That's why you have guys, middled aged guys, who can compete with younger men in their 20's and 30's.

                              And he is off his rocker. Didn't he come out with a book revealing that he had multiple personalities ?

                                Maybe all the other personality(s) does(do) is take steroids, eat protein and lift weights.
