Herschel Walker has multiple personality disorder

Turns out Walker may not be of sound mind. Found this interesting article: http://www.herschelwalker.net/content.asp?title=ABC%27s%20Nightline%20Interview%20with%20Bob%20Woodruff&menuid=Interviews&contentid=ABC%20Bob%20Woodruff&id=112

An exerpt for ya:

""I told somebody once, 'You don't want the Herschel that plays football ... babysitting your child," Walker told ABC News correspondent Bob Woodruff. "When I am competing, I am a totally different person.'"

He means it literally.

For the first time, the 46-year-old former professional football player reveals in a book published this week, "Breaking Free," that he has a rare and controversial mental illness called dissociative identity disorder — or D.I.D. — formerly known as multiple personality disorder.

"I had it the whole time, I just didn't know what it was," Walker said.

The athlete who played 15 seasons of professional football in the NFL and USFL and pushed a bobsled for the 1992 U.S. Olympic team in Albertville, France; the family man who married his college sweetheart; the man who once danced with the Fort Worth Ballet; the business man

Walker says none of those guys were him. Not really. Those were his "alters," he says -- alternate personalities. "

The article goes on to list some rather frightening things he has done in the past involving guns and loved ones.

Dr Johnny Benjamin also has a blog post suggesting a link between the above and repeated concussions. You have to assume an NFL RB with a career as long as his, he must have had more than his fair share.

At first when I heard about Herschal entering into MMA I thought it was a bad idea. But I was quickly turned around when I heard he was donating his earnings to charity and recalled his long time martial arts training. Well, I've come 360 now. I'm actually hoping an athletic commision won't allow him in the ring.
