Sounds like a really good way for a booster to cover his tracks. Put the title in HW's name and a second mortgage in his parents' name.

He most definitely is, but, again, he's not infallible. He's human.

Y'all keep sticking your head in the sand. It was the early 80s in college football. Everybody got paid.
I'm not criticizing Walker's character. I'm just criticizing his judgement of Gurley's character.

Yes, you are. You're calling him a liar, a cheat, and a hypocrite.
What am I missing here?

Hey guys, where there's smoke there's fire... We don't need proof...

I've lied before. I've cheated before. I've been a hypocrite before. Despite all those things, I think I'm doing alright.
We all make mistakes. Including Herschel Walker.

He was still investigated on this matter because of published reports and lots of rumors. Again, HW has no evidence right now of Gurley's wrongdoing.....so far, all anyone has besides UGA and NCAA is a wacko saying he has paid Gurley but has no proof.....

I guess not. I'm giving you my honest opinion on his comments.

What were Herschel's mistakes?

In this case, questioning Gurley's character in a manner that I believe to be hypocritical.
I don't follow him around in his everyday life, so I won't comment beyond that.

When did he do that?
Certainly not in this article...

Well in Herschel's defense he didn't have to play in the era of ebay, message boards, ESPN, camera phones, etc.

Holy crap man. There was a mortgage on their house. Do you really think in the 80s, they wouldn't have just given him cash. I guess the Bank of Dublin was in on it too. Hey maybe UGA is paying for the car in my name and the mortgage on my house that is in my name with a regulated BANK.
I respect you Crow, but you are digging a hole here.

I agree. I think the world of Herschel and appreciate all he's done for UGA athletics and academics. However, he should not be speaking about Gurley right now. Again, he has no proof. Just like the rest of us. There's some guy, saying he paid Gurley and he doesn't have proof......
Herschel was accused of many things without proof as well....he was also investigated by the NCAA. He certainly shouldn't be making public statements about "where there's smoke...."

Yes, he did. The part where he talks about how the Heisman stands for more than football and integrity, etc,, then says he can't vote for Gurley because of that.

Ok guys, you are right. Herschel can do no wrong. He didn't use "where there's smoke there's fire" to judge another player. It was bad info from an insider. Let's all post trite gifs now...

"I think Todd realized what he did is wrong"
Pretty sure he's questioning it with this statement. He's saying Todd took money and realizes it was wrong....
Again, all he has is a rumor from some guy claiming he paid Gurley with no proof.....

Herschel most certainly questioned TGs character:
As somebody else said here, nobody should be doing that except for UGA, the NCAA, and anybody else who might have hard evidence or more facts than we do.
Not giving TG a heisman vote right now is okay, but that should be because he's off the field....maybe only plays half a season...not because of a character issue (yet).

The Heisman Trophy is supposed to be about integrity. Until his (Jameis) act is cleaned up, I cannot give him my vote. And it is the same time with Todd Gurley. Right at this moment, I cannot give Gurley my vote.

You guys should read the article again.
1. The "where there's smoke" quote was directed at Winston for his numerous actions.
2. Even with that, Herschel hopes a coach will sit and help Winston out.
3. He says he does not know the facts about Gurley but what is important is that the coaches sat with him.
4. He said he would not vote for Gurley until this is cleared up, not an accusation, he, like us, have to wait.
It's like you read every other word and string them together randomly.
Once again....
,
The same people who are convinced that Gurley took money and admitted it (else why would we have suspended him if not) hold it against Herschel for making the same conclusion.

TBH, it seems like the hole I'm supposedly digging has more to do with hero worship than anything else.
