I've always loved the athletes that do stuff that just make you shake your head in amazement.....Bo not only did that but took it to another level.....and then did it in 2 sports.Originally Posted by dougdirt
Damn the Bengals, but glad I am the age to have witnessed many of those crazy doings.
I thought this was a Baudilio Diaz thread.
Championships for MY teams in my lifetime:
Cincinnati Reds - 75, 76, 90
Chicago Blackhawks - 10, 13, 15
University of Kentucky - 78, 96, 98, 12
Chicago Bulls - 91, 92, 93, 96, 97, 98

Truly amazing stuff, just marvel at his highlights. Damn bengals
Bring on 2018! #%?*!
He is argueably the best athlete of my time. Dude could do it all, and make it look so non-chelant(sp). The 30 for 30 special on him, on ESPN, is a must watch.

There are great athletes in every sport being played today, but it's probably not a stretch to say that I won't see another like him in my lifetime.
When all is said and done more is said than done.

I liked the commercials he did. Bo knows everything, really!
Without a doubt, the best athlete I've ever witnessed. I wished for so long that he would just forget about football. Without the injuries...what might have been. Wow.
Bo Jackson now does long bike (as in bicycle) rides for charity with Lance Armstrong, among others. He's in his early 50s now. Amazing.

Probably the best overall athlete I have seen in my lifetime. Just remarkable what he could do. I just wish he had concentrated on baseball and would have had a long career playing that sport. It would have been something to see what he could have done over a 15 to 20 year span.
