Scott Paradise, Walker's campaign manager, confirmed in a statement to The Washington Post early Wednesday that Walker has a second son.

That was yesterday. Today? Herschel Walker admits to two more... now says he has four kids.

Then you'll see that it is not the shovel that bends, it is only yourself.

I think that he suffers from brain damage from the many serious blows to the skull that he acquired over the years he played football. The NCAA and NFL have done a great job of keeping players quiet and spinning the story as much as possible when it does get media attention. It’s important to remember that all of the major science studies being done on concussions and their long term effects are brought to you by the football leagues and player associations…like how the Tobacco Institute used to conduct medical studies on the long term effects of smoking.
