During the boardroom segment of tonight's episode of "The Apprentice," contestant Alex, in a last-ditch effort to avoid being fired, played a rare card- he invoked USFL football.
After Trump referenced a losing streak by Alex in previous tasks, Alex out of nowhere brought up the losing 1984 season of the New Jersey Generals, a team in the upstart football league that was owned by Trump. And in doing this, Alex invoked the name of the Generals' star running back, Herschel Walker.
As all Vikings fans know, introducing Herschel into the equation is never, ever a good idea. Alex was fired.
