The best baseball player ever, the throw out of Harold Reynolds in Seattle on a Friday night. The look on Darnell Coles face was priceless in the on-deck circle.

Bo's career NFL stats per game are similar to Larry Johnson's if Bo played entire seasons.
He is a GOD on Tecmo Super Bowl. |

Bo's book, "Bo Knows' is one of my favorite sports biographies. It hit the perfect blend of borderline mythology and anecdotal evidence. Probably what got me knowing about Bo was Techmo Bowl. From there I had to see that actual guy which is what turned me on to football.
I watched the documentary last night, and while it wasn't as good as the book, I got to watch it with my kids and answer alot of questions for them. It was great nostalgia and a chance to revel in one of the last mythical sports figures ever. It is tough in the world of You Tube and helicopter parents and scouts for a mythology to grow in the imagination of the public like it did with Bo. |

Anyone who wasn't around to see the man play in person, or old enough to remember his playing and watching it, can't comment on the sheer euphoria that was Bo Jackson.
A younger sports fan has never, nor will ever "experience" anything like him again. Yes, the greatest "what if", but was the most amazing "He did". And all with class and humility, something today's sports fans again, has never and will never experience again. |
