The Jeremy Collins piece just reinforced how conflicted I am about Herschel. I saw him as a heroic figure, and when I watch him run over Bill Bates or outrace everyone else on the field, I still do kind of view him that way, but maybe this is unfair to him.

Herschel Walker the human being is many things, good and bad like the rest of us.
But of those many things that he is, we are fortunate that being a United States senator is not one of them.
