"I'm like Ricky Bobby"?

Walker used that in a comment.

Oh great! Now he thinks a race car actor in a movie that was so horrible, people walked out when it 1st came out.

I am a NASCAR fan, but that movie made a mockery out of NASCAR.

Still never watched the whole thing.

They could make a really funny vintage stock car racing movie easy. There is no end to the funny stories with all the shit they used to pull.

What's next? Airplane made a mockery out of the airline industry?

Although, yes, Hershel Walker comparing himself to Ricky Bobby is a head scratcher. Much like everything else he says.

Mockery was the whole point but in general I think you either love Will Ferrell and John Reilly together or you just don’t get them at all. My friends and family are bitterly divided on this duo.

Walker doesn’t get to ruin this movie, he needs to be quiet now 😛

Walker and Texas Ranger, and my red-hot smokin' wife, Carley." I'm confused. Didn't Herschel pay Carley to abort Texas Ranger?
