How Bo became a Royal
Great (long) article about how Bo Jackson came to be a Royal....really well done story.

http://thelab.bleacherreport.com/why-bo-chose-baseball/

Excerpt:

“OK, OK,” Schuerholz said. Then, nodding toward Stewart and Gonzales, he said, “Why don’t you two take Bo down to meet some of the guys.”

Jackson entered the Kansas City clubhouse, which featured a who’s who of baseball royalty. The Royals were the defending World Series champions—and with good reason. Bret Saberhagen, the ace, was the reigning American League Cy Young Award winner. Dan Quisenberry led the league in saves a record five times. Hal McRae was a three-time All-Star, Frank White a five-time All-Star.

All, however, paled in comparison to George Brett, an iconic superstar and one of the greatest players in the sport’s history. The Royals third baseman greeted Jackson warmly and took time to chat with him about the team. When it was time to leave, Stewart guided the youngster toward the exit when Brett yelled out, “Hey, Bo, good luck in football!”

Jackson whirled around and stormed toward Brett. “Oh my God!” Gonzales yelled—convinced a fight was about to break out. “Bo, don’t…”

He didn’t. Jackson smiled widely, looked Brett in the eyes and said, “George, don’t you bet on it!”

Brett stood, speechless.

How does this even happen in the NFL?

Even though Jackson has long maintained the violation ended any chances of playing for Tampa Bay, several weeks later, he returned to the city to meet with Buccaneers players and officials. If the first trip was an alarming whistle, this was a fire alarm. According to Jackson, a handful of veterans, including linebackers Scot Brantley and Jeff Davis, took him fishing, and he was warned to stay far away.

“There was nowhere worse to play,” says Ivory Sully, a veteran defensive back. “Nowhere. Everything Culverhouse did was on the cheap. They put us up in a motel that was worse than a Motel 6. They fed us terrible food. They just didn’t care about winning.”

“It was third-rate,” says Raye, the offensive coordinator. “They didn’t want to pay anyone their worth, even if it meant losing a lot of games.”

How is an owner that out of touch, and I'm kind of shocked that veterans would tell a high-profile rookie to not join their team. You'd have to have a major culture change to make any progress at all.

At the same time, I'll point at Jimmy Raye and say that he was overpaid if they paid him anything.
