The entry into the mixed martial arts world of former Heisman Trophy winner and NFL star Herschel Walker drew a harsh rebuke from the most powerful man in the sport, UFC President Dana White, who called the 47-year-old's foray into MMA, "ridiculous." But on Tuesday Walker fired back and said White doesn't understand the kind of athletic talent he has.
Punkass and Skyscrape, the eccentric TapouT duo, have embarked on a nationwide tour to promote their popular MMA apparel line. Amazingly, 12 years after the clothing line was launched from the back of a car, it's more popular than ever, and dare I say, mainstream. 
Former Heisman Trophy winner Herschel Walker has signed an agreement with Strikeforce, FanHouse has learned.

Former Cowboys, Vikings, Eagles and Giants running back Herschel Walker will reveal in a new book that he has multiple personality disorder, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution is reporting.Walker had never previously disclosed having any mental illness. In 1991 he was treated for carbon monoxide poisoning after his wife found him unconscious in his garage with his car running, but he said it was not a suicide attempt. Sorry, No PhotosMultiple personality disorder, or dissociative identity disorder (DID), as it is more commonly referred to today, is a rare mental condition in which one person has two or more distinct personalities, according to the Merck Manual of Medical Information.
The personalities may or may not be aware of each other and a particular personality may not have access to all of the individual's memories. The switch from one personality to another can be very disorienting and the active personality may have memory lapses or feel that he or she has lost track of time. Persons suffering from this disorder may refer to themselves in the plural or in the third person.
Victims of DID have usually experienced a severe, traumatic shock of some kind and most report being abused as children. Treatment for this illness involves integrating the various personalities into one and usually requires psychotherapy that may continue for years, according to Merck.
Dr. Jerry Mungadze, a psychologist who is J Mungadze, PhD, LPC President and Founder of the Mungadze Trauma Programs in Bedford, Texas (just outside Dallas), wrote the foreword for the book. He also did not return phone calls seeking comment.
A couple of weeks ago, after Georgia's much-critiqued mass celebration penalty against Florida, Steve Spurrier made the comment that he wouldn't have let such a celebration happen against his team without retribution:"I think if (Florida coach) Urban Meyer had known they were going to do it, send out one of his third team guys and get in a wrestling match with the guys, get a fight started, so all those guys on the field leave the bench in a fight... I think that's what we'd do. If the other team ever does that, get one of your down the line guys that's not going to play to get out there and start wrestling with the guys. Now you've got a fight and they're all out the next week."Spurrier's words were mixed in with all the other rhetoric about Mark Richt and his new, "evil" persona. Everybody had an opinion: Richt was wrong, Richt was right, Richt was irresponsible, Richt did what he had to do. In the end, the celebration happened, everybody had their say (including the OBC), and the whole situation faded into the past.
"That's totally insulting for a coach of his stature to say something so stupid," said Walker, getting angrier by the syllable. "So my question I say to him is, if he's got that much guts, why don't he step in a ring against me? You don't say something that silly, because you're going to get somebody hurt. Georgia was punished, because that's a penalty. They didn't go out to hurt anyone. [Spurrier] talks about hurting somebody. How much guts do you have? Step in a ring with me, and then we'll see."Emphasis mine, because that's just awesome.
