University of Georgia football legend Herschel Walker will detail in an upcoming book that he has a multiple personality disorder. The book, "Breaking Free," chronicles Walker's life with the disorder, according to the book's publicist at Simon & Schuster. That Walker, who won the Heisman Trophy and a national championship while playing tailback at Georgia in the 1980s, has the disorder was surprising to his former Georgia teammates, as well as his former coach. "I'm probably one of his closest friends and that's news to me," said Frank Ros, a Coca-Cola executive who played linebacker and was captain of Georgia's 1980 national championship team. "I knew he was working on a book but I just thought it was about football. He does 100 things at once and always has projects going on but that blows me away." -- Atlanta Journal-Constitution

exactly, he had to keep several of his personalities quiet..

When he was with my Vikings he must have assumed the personality of a slightly above average running back.

Not to play the skeptic, but is anyone else having a hard time buying into this completely? I mean, not even his closest friends knew about it.

Maybe he is one of those that truly has it and has been able to keep it under control. It is possible. He didn't want any undue attention. Now that he wouldn't be under scrutiny while on the field, he has decided to let the cat out of the bag.

That could well be. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt, but I can't help but be at least somewhat skeptical.

No doubt... I don't blame you... I'm not sold on this myself.

Why?

One of his teammates did say he sometimes referred to himself in the third person.
