NEW YORK (Sportsman's Daily Wire Service) -- In his just-released book Breaking Free, former NFL running back Herschel Walkers reveals he has been in treatment for the past eight years to help manage his twelve alternate personalities, ranging from the aw-shucks man-child most know from his playing days to the avuncular, erudite yet hard-boiled "Hesch" loosely patterned after the character in The Sopranos.
"I've totally changed from back then to where I am today," he said, after which he demonstrated the breadth and speed of his "shape-shifting" by launching into three distinctly different personalities in the span of 15 seconds before defaulting to the laid-back persona most are familiar with.
"Back then I was juggling 12 identities; now I'm down to six -- what they say is true: 12 is a crowd, six is company. Not only is half a dozen more manageable, the six are all quality individuals, with the possible exception of Hesch, who can be a major ball-buster."
A Heisman Trophy winner during his career at the University of Georgia, Walkers spent three seasons in the USFL and then played 12 years in the NFL with the Dallas Cowboys, Minnesota Vikings, Philadelphia Eagles and New York Giants.
He also was a member of the 1992 U.S. Olympic bobsled team; his interests have included ballet, law enforcement, martial arts, needlepoint, space travel and sleeping 'til noon on weekdays.
Walkers claims his battles with dissociative identity, the term for his mental illness, began to overwhelm him after his retirement in 1997. Walkers' former wife of 16 years, Cindy Grossman, says she never knew of his illness, though signs were evident.
"For years he'd walk around the house, one minute he's in leotards and tap shoes, the next he's in a flight suit preparing for a moon launch, which I just kind of figured comes with the territory -- most pampered sports stars I've known are not exactly grounded human beings," said Grossman.
"But over time it put a strain on our marriage -- how would you feel if your husband burst into the house wearing a white suit with a saber at his side, introduced himself as Colonel Walker, leader of the 81st Cavalry and demanded provisions and lodging? Then a day later he pimp-walks into the kitchen claiming to be drug kingpin Bumpy Walker.
"It was even harder for the kids, particularly on career day. Their classmates are expecting a famous football player when in walks some guy that looks like Herschel Walkers who spends an hour talking about proper dental hygiene -- having unexpectedly morphed into a pediatric dentist from Bayonne, N.J."
In 1989, at the peak of his NFL career, the Cowboys traded him to the Vikings for five players and six draft picks. His 2½ years with the Vikings were viewed as a major disappointment; many believe he was underused, but few realized that the trade marked the beginning of Walkers' personality disorder.
"Instead of being the best Herschel Walker he could be, he felt he had to perform like 11 men to justify the trade," said former Vikings running backs coach Norm Jackson. "Obviously, performing like 11 very different individuals who play a variety of positions -- from linebacker to safety -- can cause confusion. Our quarterbacks never knew which Herschel they were handing the ball off to."
Ricky Williams, the controversial running back who is known to self-treat his own personality disorder with huge quantities of "therapeutic" marijuana, feels for his colleague.
"I know what Herschel is going through, though my situation is kind of his in reverse. A couple of years ago I was touring Tibet on foot and was handed some high-grade indigenous s--- that made me feel invisible -- which was very liberating. The feeling lingered for months -- I felt like I could walk into a bank vault without anyone noticing. In fact, my first game the next year I'm thinking, wow, they can't tackle what they can't see. Big mistake."
When told of Williams' comments, Walkers transformed into the erudite "Hesch" Rabkin, one of Tony Soprano's most trusted confidantes.
"I know all about people disappearing, but there's no scientific evidence that people can make themselves invisible. Mr. Williams needs to stop smoking the funny stuff.
"And quite frankly, I'm tired of being associated with this Walkers guy and the company he keeps -- a regular bunch of shlamazels with room-temperature IQs. I wish they'd all just go away. In fact, I think that can be arranged."

Ever here of Charles Whitman?
Charles Joseph Whitman (June 24, 1941 â August 1, 1966) was a student at the University of Texas at Austin who killed 14 people and wounded 31 others, as part of a shooting rampage from the observation deck of the University's 32-story administrative building on August 1, 1966. He did this shortly after murdering his wife and mother. He was eventually shot and killed by Austin police.

I think its just more media attention makes it seem more commonplace.
Same thing with the gays.All these queer eye for the straight guy and Ellen Degeneres type shows make it seem normal and more people arent afraid to hide it.
Guy I've known my whole life and worked with for 10 years has a son a year younger than me.Nice Irish family from the working class area of Philly.We always suspected the kid was gay but don't care to much so we never brought it up and the father never said anything.My sister met a friend of the kid the other day and found out that the guys been living with the same guy for ten years and just bought a house together.The parents are cool about it which I don't think would have been the case 20 years ago.Get ready for it, your kids probably going to be gay and you'll be walking him down the aisle some day because you're such a progressive father and you'll be labeled a terrible human being if you don't.
