The scary part is that Herschel Walker had a chance and he almost won.

I've been saying now for months that Herschel Walker never should have even had a shot

sign that he had any chance at all.

There was a shark in the pool and nobody got bit, but why were so many people cheering

for the shark in the pool?

And the article makes points that are not altogether surprising, but the point that

Walker lost, he barely did.
