Herschel Walker Signs....

a Multi-Fight Deal with Strikeforce...

It has been confirmed by Strikeforce brass that the San Jose-based organization has inked former NCAA and NFL

great Herschel Walker to a multi-fight deal.

Strikeforce executive Mike Afromowitz confirmed the signing with MMAFanhouse earlier today.

The 47-year-old may have retired from professional football back in 1997, however you would be hard pressed to find a better conditioned athlete anywhere on the planet, regardless of age.

As recently as November 20th of 2006, Walker stated on The Jim Rome Show that he still performs 2,500 sit-ups and 1,500 push ups every morning, and that he’s been partaking in the same routine every morning since high school.

Walker has studied martial artist for quite some time, and is currently a sixth-degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do. He stated at last month’s “Strikeforce: Carano vs. Cyborg” event that he would like to try his hand at the pro world of MMA someday, however most took that in jest.

Herschel wouldn’t be the first NFL vet to compete in MMA as four former NFL players were cast for the current 10th season of “The Ultimate Fighter. ” Additionally, former wide receiver Michael Westbrook, Johnnie Morton, Rex Richards and Herbert “Whisper” Goodman have competed in organizations across the country.

Although there is no word on when Walker might be making his debut inside a cage, it’s likely that the former Heisman Trophy winner’s first fight won’t be until early 2010.

    • Micron just announced it is leaving the consumer market and Crucial as of February 26 will be no more. While Samsung and SK Hynix are guaranteeing most of its supply to business contracts for AI companies, leaving a tiny supply for its consumer markets. Combined with Micron those three companies make up 96% of the world's Dram supply with almost none of it going to consumers.  It's so bad that Samsung Mobile is having issues getting supply from Samsung DX which is causing internal issues and will lead to a shortage of phones and higher prices in February.  AMD announced a 10% price hike across its product line going forward as of today.   GPU's will go up here shortly, ram has already doubled this year and it will keep going up. Storage has seen a smaller increase but a bigger one is coming for it as the next generation of AI cards are being built that require a ton of HBM on the boards.  Rumors that both AMD and Nvidia will eliminate lower tier GPU's for the next generation if not sooner.  So the end isn't in site and it will totally affect next generation consoles, the PC building and prebuilt markets and everything in-between including cellphones.  Pretty much seeing the end of the main stream gaming industry end before your eyes right now.    Storage pricing doubling to tripling over the next year to two.  Consoles starting at 699.99/799.99 and up for what you would've spent 400 on just a few years ago.   An entry level PC build starting in the 3k range considering the new reality for ram, storage and GPU costs.  The cost to entry will be too high for most consumers after this shift is finished in 2028 and that's if a consumer market even exists by then. 
    • You know who else had a high completion %? Teddy 2 Gloves. He could check down with the best of them.  I'm one of those people that watches and analyzes a lot, my brain does it by default, and it's something that I fully expect our scouts and FO to do religiously. Football is a sport I enjoy, and I actually watch footwork more than most. It drives my wife nuts, especially with our local hockey team. I can tell within a few games usually if a goalie is going to make it or not just by watching their feet. That's why I said stats give you a direction. They help show you where to look. They're a tool. As long as you realize that they're a tool to be used, not relied upon for absolute certainty. I trust my eyes too. And I trust what I'm seeing. 3 years in, and Bryce's footwork and mechanics look almost identical to his rookie season and Alabama. Every time I see that jump pass I want to scream. Or when he squares up to the line of scrimmage to throw a pass instead of stepping into it to drive a throw. He does seem to have some sort of clutch gene, but he also has a WTF gene that rears its ugly head too.
