"I may be 47 in age," Walker said, "but I'm probably 25 in fighting … People can talk about age all they want, but I don't see too many people jumping up to compete against me. They can continue to say 'Herschel's 47 or 50,' or whatever you want to say, but it ain't like you want to step in the ring or go out on the track and compete against me. I don't see people taking a number."
Of course, this could end differently. (Check The Rumble for more on Herschel Walker's entry into MMA.)

God should have made white people able to float around and kick ass like the Matrix, in exchange for us not being able to box and dunk and play cornerback…. instead that I think He made it that way to make up for white people being able to do mortgages better and stuff.
