There's not much more ironically amusing than Steve Spurrier lecturing someone else on sportsmanship, but he's been going after Georgia recently for their big touchdown-pile-on a few weeks ago. He said he'd have sent in a third-string Gamecock to start a fight, therefore getting a bunch of Bulldogs suspended. Clever, Spurrier, but there's one thing you didn't count on: Herschel Freaking Walker.
Yep, the former Bulldog star is ready to rumble with the Ole Ball Coach.
"Well, you know, is that not insulting? That's totally insulting for a coach of his stature to say something so stupid," said Walker, getting angrier by the syllable. "So my question I say to him is, if he's got that much guts, why don't he step in a ring against me? You don't say something that silly, because you're going to get somebody hurt. Georgia was punished, because that's a penalty. They didn't go out to hurt anyone. [Spurrier] talks about hurting somebody. How much guts do you have? Step in a ring with me, and then we'll see."
Whatever your thoughts about Spurrier — or Walker, or Georgia, or just violent mayhem — it's pretty impossible not to enjoy the mental picture of a Herschel Walker-Steve Spurrier battle royale. Maybe Daniel Snyder could officiate.

spurrier: can i fight weurfell instead?
It would go a little something like this: [www.youtube.com]
Who would win in a fight between Steve Spurrier and Herschel Walker?
Chuck Norris.
I hope Walker turns pro.
Ron Zook could kick all of their asses.
I'll commit to spending $500 for a front row ticket right now.
@Chicago Jones: perhaps then he can afford a shirt.
Never bet against a gentile named Herschel.
All one of them.
You're my boy Belue!
Who would win in a fight between Herschel Walker and Head Ball Coach?
All of us.
I've never paid to watch a fight in my life...I will now if this ever goes down. Even if it's only WWE style in the end.
Wikipedia says that Walker is planning on doing an official MMA fight in the near future. Paging Don King...
[en.wikipedia.org]
The Minnesota Vikings will trade Adrian Petersen, next year's #1 and #2 picks, and their #2 and #3 picks in 2009 to see this fight.
...said Walker, getting angrier by the syllable.
So when he shouts, "supercalifragilisticexpialadoucious" does he turn into the Hulk?
Herschel smash ball-coach!
Stupid sexy Herschel Walker.
But the real tragedy was that 15 teeth were still in his mouth.
Fixed
By the by, Herschel Walker had pretty impressive career totals, not including his USFL numbers.
@Innings Eater: Nope, 2. A very gentile buddy of mine convinced his Ugandan baby mamma to name their son Herschel Walker H__________.
I was hoping this would show up.
And if somehow this were to go down, I'd be in the front row.
@hockalees: Actually, they wanted to trade it, but they couldn't get their card to the podium before their fifteen minutes ran out.
The winner gets to take on Ditka.
I don't appreciate being reminded of Herschel Walker's existence.
/Vikings fan
Hey Herschel, don't you have ballet practice?
@MrRedDevil: Mr. Spurrier?
@UkraineNotWeak: Jimmy Johnson gets to trade the winner for ten 1st round draft picks.
@hockalees: If that happens, Emmitt Smith, Darren Woodson, and Russel Maryland are likely to show up and help Spurrier win a string of national championships.
@The Fan's Attic: One of his biggest fans.
Herschel's just angling to get the Superstars competition back on the air. Just keep Joe Frazier away from the water.
Its amusing how Walkers supiditiy is just thrown out there for everyone to see...taking Spurriers shit-talking personally???? Really???
Dumbass...
@12-inch Idongivafuck Sandwich: Fuck yeah, you said it. Let's enjoy some sort of Idon'tgiveafuckifgeorgiawinsachampionshipsandwich sometime.
11-13 in the sec since his return. sorry bubba but the game passed you by, maybe you should go see if june jones needs some help at the Old Coaches Home out in hawaii...
@12-inch Idongivafuck Sandwich: and ps, your little picture to the left (avatar? not sure) is way cooler than mine.
OJ GOING TO JAIL IN A FEW MINUTES
@UkraineNotWeak: The winner gets to take on the winner of shark vs. lion.
Uh-oh...this looks like it might turn into a fan messageboard sort of discussion.
Quick...somebody whip out a dick joke.
@The Fan's Attic: Haha, he said 'gamecock'
@gotohe11carolina: fuck that. spurrier does whatever the fuck he pleases. i give him less than 4 years to an SEC championship.
@cowbell204: good lookin out, i just flipped to msnbc to watch...
Nice ponytail your honor...
@3championshipsandwich: thats what sc fans said three years ago... i'm not holding my breath
These witness have credibility issues??? In an OJ Simpson trial??? Get the fuck out.
@The Fan's Attic: This is why [deadspin.com] should have been the Deadspin Up! All Night post. Although I'm pretty sure the "Up! All Night" part would have to Huff'd.
@Coming into the Game, The Catcher, of your Upper Deck Toron...: but I guess Will couldn't hold it and pre-ejacuposted it at 3 in the afternoon.
Chris Matthews just wants to yell about the Presidential candidates and other newsworthy shit, but he's stuck with this OJ freakshow because people like me (everyone except OJ and his posse) wants him to go to the clink.
I guess he'll just yell about the Juice instead:
"Isaiah Thomas was with OJ Simpson during this criminal act!!!"
Mike Tice can probably hook me up with tickets if the fight ever happens.
@3championshipsandwich: Haha, thanks. I had one of those originally, but got tired of it and I really like the old emblem better than the gator head...
@stealofthedraft: Tim Donaghy knows a guy that will take some action on it...
@Coming into the Game, The Catcher, of your Upper Deck Toron...:
Is that officially the longest Deadspin Commenter name? Icrane, can we get a ruling?
The Juice looks thoroughly fucking bored.
OJ looks stoned.
and......OJ is going to trial!
@MrRedDevil: i've had a hard time finding a good bookie since they got tochett
Since OJ's original dream team is dead, he plans on starting a new one. But I doubt Kim Kardashian will do as well as her dad.
