Lmao really

 

[The Fonz]

He was a great athlete. But a clown and a huge disappointment as a man.

I am not aware of other issues I was talking about only his sport side

Everything is divisive these days Fonz, many can’t appreciate someone due to their.......never mind, hope you get the gist of it

Yea. If you knew. You’d know.....

 

[cowboyec]

one of my Cowboy Heroes.
started writing letters to him in '86.
incredibly nice man.
he'd send me stuff...autographed photos,letters.
i'd send a thank you letter.
he'd answer it.
he didn't have to do that.
but he did.
and i wondered...does he do that for everybody that wrote him?
true class.
on and off the field.
HERSCHEL WALKER

Walker may have been the extreme example, but he wasn't alone in regards to a good work ethic going back to the 80s. He probably showed up to camp already in shape. Today I think guys show up to camp to get back in shape. Probably why you see a lot of injuries early on. With the money these guys make today they're probably focused on having fun in the off season, not conditioning.

 

[Brax]

Yep. You got that right.

HW good man, great player, great human being and someone who uses their brain to think for themselves.

Joe Don Looney was the craziest athlete in NFL history — figuratively and literally.

Finally, we agree.

With all of his stats between rushing, receiving and returns he deserves to be in the HOF. Add in his pre NFL career and he would be a lock. Great human being and looks like he could still play today.

I remember my dad talking about Looney when I was a kid growing up in Texas. My dad met Looney in the early 60's. I just recall my dad shaking his head and saying, "h3ll of a football player, but one crazy son of a $@$$@$"

 

[SultanOfSix]

pardon my lack of awareness i am still living the 80's I just visit the present from time to time

Haha. Me too. I loved the 80s except for the fact that the Cowboys didn't win anything during that time.

 

[MyFairLady]

Such a beast. Love Herschel.

 

[Diehardblues]

Haha. Me too. I loved the 80s except for the fact that the Cowboys didn't win anything during that time.

They won more than any Cowboys team in 21st Century.

He has one of the great lines in sports interview history...
When asked about getting an inordinate amount of carries per game he says “the ball ain’t heavy”
