Recently, former Heisman Trophy winner and overall super athlete Herschel Walker spoke about his battle with dissociate identity disorder (DID), more commonly known as multiple personality disorder. This helps to explain Walker’s deep backgrounds and accomplishments in areas outside of football, including bobsledding (an Olympian in 1992), tae kwon doe (sixth degree blackbelt) and study of both ballet and law enforcement. Furthermore, Walker alternate personalities cause for lapses in his memory, such as not remembering his Heisman Trophy winning season of 1982 while at Georgia. Based on his alternate personalities proclivity towards overachievement and his inability to remember his actions, TheBocker.com has hypothesized other possible accomplishment and exploits of the many Herschel Walkers.

Who Knew Fog Could Be So Mysterious?
April 15, 2008 · No Comments
I’ve always liked fog. The eerie quality it gives things, the quiet that it brings, the fact that there could be a tough hiding somewhere with a sock full of batteries and you wouldn’t even know it. There’s just something really cool about the fog. So of course I was interested in seeing a movie based on the very weather pattern I hold dear. I’m speaking of course of The Mist. The Fog remake turned out to be a pretty crappy movie, but I held out hope for this one due to the Stephen King connection. Sure the movie came out months ago and perhaps nobody wants to read a movie review for a movie that’s already old. But this movie is definitely worth renting and enjoying at night in a dark room with a group or friends or family. And I’m not going to review this movie other than to say that I really enjoyed it and I recommend it to everyone. What I am going to do is discuss the ending because I found it quite surprising and it left me with a lot of mixed feelings. So if you are looking forward to seeing this movie then read no further. If you’ve already seen it, or just plain don’t care, then jump right in and let’s get cracking.

Great Scott, O’Neal!!!
April 10, 2008 · No Comments
It’s been a while since we’ve done a new music post hasn’t it? I don’t think this song is all that new, but I don’t hear it on the radio so maybe it hasn’t gotten big yet. I won’t pretend I have my ears to the streets, just that I know a good song when I hear one. Courtesy of newcomer O’Neal McKnight we have “Check Your Coat”, a Michael Jackson sounding song with a filthy beat. And in this case I’m using filthy to mean a beat that gets your head bopping and your body shaking. Check out the video and my humble criticisms after the break.

The Weekend that Started it All
April 10, 2008 · No Comments
April 10-13, 1997. Those four days that forever changed the world. That is when the Masters tournament was held. That is when Tiger Woods was unleashed on the PGA and the world. That 18 under par, 12 stroke margin of victory performance did not start off as dominant. He bogeyed the 1st hole in route to shooting a 40 (4 over par) on the front 9. But he responded by shooting a 30 (6 under par) on the back 9. 6 under par was the final score for Tom Kite, the 2nd place finisher. Tiger Woods’ 3rd round score was 7 under. Woods was the only player to be under par in every round. And 11 years later he is going for 5th Green Jacket, 14th Major title and 65th PGA overall. The only question left is will he leave the field or the public hanging?

There’s A Flood Water Rising
April 10, 2008 · 1 Comment
When is a flood a good thing? How about when it’s part of the natural ecosystem. For residents of the Mississippi River Delta flooding is just a part of life. In some of the areas in this region near New Orleans elevations are measured in inches as opposed to feet. Most of the region was built on a flood plain and any substantial storm will bring rising waters and cause damages to the residents in the area. It’s just a part of life. So the question is, when do we step in and attempt to “fix” the natural state of things so that residents won’t have to worry about their houses flooding?

Mets Get Rickrolled
April 9, 2008 · No Comments
Leave it to the New York Mets to be the first major sports franchise to be “rickrolled”. If you’ve never heard of rickrolling it’s really quite simple. You send a link to a friend or associate, usually in an email, and when they click on the link they see a video of Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna Give You Up”. As far as internet phenomena go I happen to enjoy this one because the video for this classic 80s shmaltzfest is actually quite funny to watch. I guess nobody at the Mets has been on the internet in the past 6 months.

The VandenHurk Solution
April 8, 2008 · No Comments
Would I care about the Florida Marlins if fantasy baseball didn’t exist? Would I know who Rick VandenHurk was? Would I check the boxscores every day to see how teams were doing? The last question would be a resounding yes, I love baseball that much, but the first two questions are an example of how great fantasy baseball can be. The fact that I’m interested in a team that has no fans, even in its home city, shows how impact that fantasy sports have had on their real counterparts. But that’s a story for another day. We are here now to discuss the cluelessness of Fredi Gonzalez, the Marlins manager, when it comes to handling young pitching. Our two examples are both 23 years of age and have shown potential, Rick VandenHurk and Andrew Miller.

‘08 Yanks Rediscover ‘96 Form
April 7, 2008 · No Comments
The New York Yankees have played six games thus far this season and have netted a total of 17 runs, a smidge under 3 per game. For Yankees teams of the past few seasons, 3 runs a game would have lead to an 0-6 record after 6 games. However the 2008 Yankees are currently 3-3 largely because they’ve protected tight leads from the 7th inning on.
