Bo Jackson. When I hear that name I immediately think back to my childhood. I dedicated a corner of my room to Bo Jackson. I watched him smash homers and throw out runners from the warning track. Watched him run over cornerbacks and Brian Bosworth. I saw Brian Bosworth at a party once. He was surrounded by beautiful women, but all I could think about was him getting run over by Jackson. It essentially ended Bosworth's career and gave the world the movie "Stone Cold".

So, if you are a fan of Jackson, ESPN's 30 for 30 about him is a must watch. Did you know he ran a 4.12 second 40 yard dash at 230lbs? Jerry Rice ran the 40 at 4.71seconds at 200lbs. So good luck stopping Jackson when he is running straight up the middle gaining speed. Just move the fuck out the way. Explains his 5 yards a carry average for a career. Jackson was the man. Bo Jackson fever swept the nation and then, just like that, it was over.
