Former NFL football star Herschel Walker (1-0) will meet Scott Carson (4-1) in a heavyweight bout at the upcoming Dec. 4th Strikeforce: Henderson vs. Babalu event at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis, Mo.
Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker broke the news on Friday, confirming Walker’s opponent to ESPN.com.
The 48 year old Walker made his mixed martial arts debut last January against Greg Nagy at the Strikeforce: Miami event, scoring a third round TKO (strikes) win over the younger opponent.
“I want to show that my experience level has increased a good deal. I’ve become a much better MMA fighter. Last time, I was very green. This time, I’m going to be more skilled and have a lot more to display in the Strikeforce cage.”
His opponent, 40 year old Carson, has only fought once in the past nine years, which was a knockout loss. He became involved in the sport of mma in the 1990’s earning three victories between 1999 – 2001. Carson had dropped out of the sport because of a back injury but will be ready to face Walker on Dec. 4th.
The above news piece makes it sound like bullying at school is a new thing. Um, here’s a list of things we participated in during our time in school (please, Lord, forgive us):

The above news piece makes it sound like bullying at school is a new thing. Um, here’s a list of things we participated in during our time in school (please, Lord, forgive us):
:: We found out a friend of ours like this girl. So we proceeded to write (withholding real last/first names, respectively, here): “James Like Gordon” on posters and hung them up across the school. Then we wrote it on over 2,000 lunch trays. Then we made “James Like Gordon” posters and hung them up on telephones polls on the one road pretty much everyone had to take coming into school. Then we started “James–LIKES–GORDAN!!!” chants at pep rallies. We also used to do the morning announcements and said it on over the speakers to the school. Nice guys.
:: Wrote a newspaper column ripping a guy (nice, cool guy too, no reason for it) over what he wore. Actually, it was a cut-off sleeve jean jacket, so maybe it was justified.
:: Used to talk without moving our lips to the deaf kid.
:: Chewed big wads of gum and pounded it into this one guy’s hair.
:: Countless knocking of books out of someone’s hands in the hallway.
:: Rolled someone’s house we didn’t like four nights in a row.
:: Made a few teachers actually cry in class by insulting their intelligence/legitimacy.
And before an actual whole opens in the floor sending us barreling towards hell, we’ll stop.
Fortunately for us, the Gracie brothers did not have their Bullyproof training program going yet, or we’d have a few wooden teeth.
With the so-called “media” claiming that bullying is on the rise (although we contend it’s the same as it’s always been), the Gracies program is designed to make sure such things as “Kick a Ginger Day” (discussed in the above vid) doesn’t happen again.
Seriously though, it’s good stuff. If you’re a parent and bullying is a concern, learn more about it here.
