Herschel Walker losing in Georgia is such a huge red flag that he was robbed. Simply based on his football career in that state, along with his character, there’s no way he loses in Georgia. Back in the day, after watching him shred at UGA and then get paid in the USFL for Donald Trump’s New Jersey Generals, I met him when the Dallas Cowboys still had their training camp at Cal Lutheran in Thousand Oaks. Even though he wasn’t suited up yet for the Cowboys, he was out there mingling with the fans, signing autographs, actually having conversations with fans. At the time he was arguably at the height of his career, one of the most elite athletes in professional sports, but he was so genuinely humble, chill, approachable, and he just exeuded goodness. He stood out there and patiently signed every autograph until everyone left, laughed off a Giants fan trying to heckle him, and proved that just because you’re an elite athlete that doesn’t mean you have to be a surly, ungrateful, prick. Tony Dorsett, on the other hand, who was there in street clothes as well, was the exact opposite. He looked and acted like he was there because he had to be, wasn’t signing anything or talking to anyone, seemed aloof and gave off the hostile “don’t come near me” vibe. I was big fans of both guys at the time, but after being around them up close, I lost some respect for Tony. I understood at the time that Herschel was there to compete for playing time at Tony’s position, so there might be tension, but watching him pout and be defensive, made him look fearful and defeated. Herschel Walker seemed like he had a connection to something bigger than him that made him humble, even though he was high-power in sports, he didn’t carry himself like that, which just made you respect him even more.
