When Bo hurt his hip was the saddest day in all of sport! That injury deprived the world of many many more years of a greatness we may never see again.
I was a HUGE Raider fan before I grew up, I saw that play when he was pulled down from behind, I believe it was MNF. Totally Agreed, his body was never the same, he was almost unstoppable until that play....he was my favorite.
I was always mad at Howie for retiring in his prime....but now with all we know about CTE he was a head of his time. He knew he could make good money off the field and took it. Now that I am 50 years old myself I get it lol. I retired early too! My knees and back have never been happier.
I was at Auburn when Bo was there. I've heard that stadium gasp many times. He was like a ballet dancer that was also a Mack truck. And also a Ferrari.
@@thefpvlife7785 This has already been examined, and multiple committees have determined Bo is the greatest. Decathletes are not exceptional, in any single event. No decathlete, holds world records for any of the events of a decathlon. You have to specialize. And Bo is only person to be named an All-Star in two different professional sports. And he won Heisman trophy. Bo is the greatest.
I watched Bo’s last football game on TV. Against the Bengals. He was absolutely crushing them, averaging 13 yards/carry. It was so entertaining. Then he got hurt. When it became permanent, I was soooooooo bummed. There’ll probably never be another running back like that, ever.
I was watching that game too. Only Raider player I’ve actually liked. Such a buzzkill to know that was the last game I would ever see him play. He was not human, best athlete I’ve ever seen in my life, scratch that, lifetime.
I played golf with Griffey, Jr in 2015 at Carnoustie in Scotland. I mentioned I saw the monumental H.R. he hit in the Kingdome in August of 1997. Junior said he didn't remember any of his home runs, but had vivid memories of massive home runs Bo hit.
As I recall Boz (Brian Bosworth, big LB for Seattle Seahawks) was insulting Bo and making big talk for the week or two before the game. Bo essentially picked him up and carried Boz on his back 20 yards into the EZ, as I recall. [Edit: nope, that wasn't Boz, but some other LB or DB in a different game. Mighty impressive though, nonetheless!] I think that was both the end of Boz as a celebrity super-star and the end of the mullet hair style fad (that Boz had). Youngsters probably don't understand. Bo Jackson would no doubt have been one of the greatest Football players of all time if he didn't have an early career-ending hip injury in his 4th season (with the Raiders). He was a supreme athlete and a legend.
@@ryanjacobson2508 Thanks. Yeah, you still see the mullet today in some places. Amazing that it ever became as popular as it did. "All business in the front, party in the back."
I remember never really caring about football until my 6th grade year and when my dad was watching a KC game I got to see what Bo Jackson could do. That was it. For a year I was a Raider's fan. KC has Okoye back then and Okoye was a blue collar player for a blue collar state. He was more heart, more determination, and more pure beef than the 4 guys trying to tackle him on every play. I made bets with my dad on who would win those KC vs. LA games and I always ended up mowing the lawn. That's how I became a Chiefs fan. Bo was by far the greatest athlete of the last 100 years and a freak injury stole him from us. Okoye was another shining star that we just didn't get to see long enough. Those guys were amazing talents and a rare breed.
Bo Jackson was recorded running a 4.13 40 yard dash. I remember him playing for Auburn and I was a Alabama fan. I never saw one person tackle him. He promised his dying mother he'd hit a home run for her in his 1st at bat in the MLB and he did! Dude was a super athlete.
I was a huge fan of Bo, but there is no official record or video of Bo ever running a 4.3. If there is I have never been able to find it, and I've looked more than once.
I was in Auburn working out at Bill Kazmaier’s gym. The football team’s strength coach was there. A guy asked him if Bo worked out with the team. He said no. He was given a pass after he walked into their weight room and benched 400 pounds.
My favorite part of this is the look in Chris’ eyes as his dad was talking. That is a man that respects his father. It’s a such a blessing. My father passed away when I was 30 and he was at his best when I lost him. I remember looking at my father in his best moments with that same admiration.
I saw Bo in NewEngland in what i think was one of his first games. When Bo put his helmet on the whole stadium stood up. Bo made a run that day where his feet were in bounds & his entire body was out of bounds like a panther or something. And yes the whole stadium gasped. Most remarkable athletes ive ever seen & ive seen quite a few.
Correct me if I'm wrong, Bo only rushed for over 100 yards twice in his whole career, my girl took me to Fenway Park to see Bo with Chisox, his calves and legs were huge, he whiffed and snapped the bat in two over his thigh.
@kevinwalsh4652 Marcus and Bo were a 2 headed monster especially during the 1989 and 1990 seasons. The Raiders rushing attack would just wear down opponents. The Raiders had a fullback that would block for both of them and dude was a sledge hammer and ran the ball himself occasionally. In the 1990 season I saw Bo play his first game in the NFL against the San Diego Chargers in the second half alone he demolished their defense after Marcus Allen Carved them up in the first half.
Thanks for the show highlighting one of my favorite players. As an RN, hearing he's suffering from hiccups, it is serious..and results in so many negative side effects..inability to sleep..eat properly, have a partner be willing to sleep with you..appetite..and can result in ending one's life if it's so life-altering. It happened to a doctor I worked with,a complication of shoulder surgery local anesthetic . It basically ended his marriage. So Bo needs all the support he can get, for sure..thanks for letting us know
I'm waiting to see how this go as I have the hicuups and have had them for almost 2 yrs now. And I have tried everything. Well not the porcupine but almost everything else.
I agree what if?, but I also believe Bo's running style would have caught up to him. 31 to 32 years of age he would have started fading as a back. This was the NFL not Auburn.
Howie is old school, and what I've always liked about him is his appreciation and the respect he gives to the great players and teams (e.g. Steelers of '70's; Packers in the '60's) that came before him.
Got to meet Chris Long after a St. Louis Rams game and got his autograph. He was very, very nice and seemed to genuinely appreciate when I complimented him on his 3 sacks that day. It's obvious he came from a good family.
Saw Bo Jackson play for the Memphis Chicks back in the day. Everyone was there to see Bo. Three strikeouts later people were starting to leave. On the 4th at bat Bo hit the ball out of the stadium over the five story buildings at the edge of the stadium. Just crushed it. I still have that Bo Jackson autographed Memphis Chicks card.
Bo leading off the allstar game with a homerun on a 90+ mph sinker off his shoetops, dead center. That in itself is just pure, elite, hand eye and powerhouse wrist strength.
Dang Howie looking good! Remembering the good old days, was a Raider fan from the late 60s maybe 67 . Howie you'll always be on the top of the greatest Raiders and you know its a big list !!!
Howie the man been a raider fan since 76 and loved see Howie he took a picture with my daughter when they moved to LA she was only 9months old or 10..my wife to this day still in love with him
Bo being a Raider was a tough and confusing time as a Chiefs and Royals fan. The Raiders were an actual rival then, and Bo [along with G.Brett's twilight years] had the Royals relevant in a way they wouldn't be again for decades. So it was pure love for Bo the Royal and negotiating something somehow less than unrelenting hate for the Raiders while he was there.
Yeah, I was a Chiefs fan from the AFL days and that rivalry between them and the Raiders was in-TENSE!!! But I had watched so many Chiefs vs. Raiders games, I knew all of Oakland's players too. As an Auburn, ergo Bo Jackson SuperFan, I didn't have as much trouble as I thought I would when Bo started suiting up in the silver & black. It can hardly be imagined that when baseball season was over, MARCUS FREAKIN' ALLEN would take off his helmet and go sit on the bench cuz Bo was there now---amazing!
I had a hockey hall of famer 25 years ago tell me a story about Bo throwing a guy out at home from the warning track and the stadium go quiet. Not the KC/Seattle one but in Toronto against the Royals. When a hall of famer in a different sport gets that look on their face telling a story about a different athlete in a different sport you pay attention.
No one on his level has shown up in the last 30 years, that tells you something. The only guy I have on Bo's tier is Wilt Chamberlain, those two are barely human
I was that age, grade school, jr high, h.s., in his prime. No internet. "Bo knows"....but it was not built on social media popularity, it was legitimate athletic ability that blew people's minds. At some point it seemed logical that he could take up a sport completely new to him, give him 6-12 months and he'll prove, not promote himself, prove to be the best in the world at it.
I saw most of Bo's games at the LA coliseum, a man amongst boys. Great time to be a Raider fan, when the fights in the stands were so good the players would turn to watch, and Howie forbid his family from attending games at the Coliseum.
About 20 years ago I seen Bo Jackson training at a health club in suburban Chicago, and let me tell you something, I never seen a build on a man like his! He has the lower body of a MINOTAUR, huge defined legs, with a lean fit upper body! Real specimen of a man💪
i was in Royals Stadium and Bo came out to left field, he just signed with the Raiders, they had stop the game cause footballs were coming out to the field, a lot of fun, Bo Knows!
Howie Long is so clearly proud of his son, Chris. It's so obvious just by the way he interacts with him. That is a very close Father/Son bond right there.
Yes, Bo was a freak! The man was unbelieveable. I saw him run into 6 tacklers and busted out for a TD. Never again & never will see another like him. God bless Bo
I've seen him make some of the quickest cuts in the backfield i've ever seen. And was a tall RB who didn't take direct hits to his upperbody & that's rare
anyone who has had the honor of meeting an old school, top tier defensive end has had the honor of meeting a true hard man. listening to howie long speak and looking at his body and his hands, you know you are looking at the real deal. listening to this apex gladiator talk so glowingly about another shows his humility. i was fortunate enough to work as a chef at a hotel (the hilton garden inn in blacksburg, va) partly owned by the great bruce smith and talk about a low key, down to earth guy . . .! i like listening to these old school guys talk about back in the day, it's like you're hearing about the time of myth.
Bo Jackson will always be a GOD among athletes. Say what you will, but he is a true GOAT. People are still talking about him and he only played for like 4 years. Just imagine had he played a full career. Not only was he a great athlete, he was a good person.
Bo was a combination of Earl Campbell and prime OJ, He coulf absorb a clean shot and continue running., he could rum over you or he would see an opening and be gonr. We will never see another like him.
3:20 I totally agree. I watched it live and me and my bros were like, "Boz got trucked!" (before "trucked" was even a term btw) Upon rewatching it though, it was a very even contest and Bo came out on top. I doubt anyone could have stopped Bo in that situation.
@@jaydubya3698 Can't argue w/ that but sentimentally I always favored the stickum DB Lester Hayes and "the mad stork" Hendricks. They were two very impactful players.
I remember the Alabama Auburn game in 1984 i was 9 years old it was thunder or lightning it was dark I just kept hearing the name Bo Jackson he ran like crazy that game.
I remember watching that Bo/Boz game. That was crazy. I also was watching when Bo got his career ending injury. It really didn't look that serious. It was such a a shame that his career ended so soon. He was fun to watch.
Salute to Bo Jackson he had us as kids playing all sports just trying to be like him. I would watch him play as a Kansas City royal. Not even tripin just the fact that he was showing us kids no matter what background as long as u had athletic ability u was like I can do this. Thanks Bo ur the multi sport goat.
Howie, you're a personal hero to me. I only met you once in passing, I was with Lester and no, I don't remember where. Anyway, I raised my grandson to be a Raiders fan. He got a plaque from Lester when I introduced them. The plaque had three trading cards, Lester, Alzado and you. I'd pay for an autograph on your card if I can afford it ( my savings got blown when our daughter died and left her 8 1/2 month old son with us) but no worries. Anyway, if you have an office address or a P.O box or something I'll send it to you. Fun fact, I played DE in HS and college and taught my grandson by watching endless hours of tape on you and Lyle. Thanks for considering this.
I'm an old man now, 86 and counting, and I've followed football all my life (played through college). I've seen exactly 4 guys who could run over, around or through you and didn't care which...but might prefer through, just to spoil your day. Jim Brown, Earl Campbell, Bo and Barry Sanders. As a former fullback, I LOVED watching those guys, and that's not to cast aspersions on anybody else like Payton or especially Sayers, but those 4 were the SH*T!!
A story from backup QB Hugh Millen. After practice in training camp there was a 6 foot high chain link fence. So the whole team was walking to the end of the field to the exit. Bo just walked up to the fence and from a standing start just jumped the fence. What athletic ability
Being a lifelong War Eagle I saw Herschel Walker play the year they won the National Championship. He was a man among boys. But when I saw Bo his freshman year it was awe inspiring. Herschel would run over everyone and it took a minimum of 2 guys to tackle him. Bo was the same way except he could outrun EVERYONE on the field Herschel couldn’t.
Since I was a kid I’ve always loved howie on tv man. Yea I’m too young to have seen him play, I’ve only known him as a analyst lol. No hot takes just his own take
My son had the Hiccups for 3 months and lost about 25 lbs off a 170 lean body. It sucked big time for him. He went to the Hospital twice for treatment before it passed. 😟
I just watched the Bo v Boz play and Boz went head up and got ran over. It was a big deal because both guys were coming out of college with tons of accolades. Fun times.
And that's in the days when everybody could tackle. Dude could hit you hard and no penalty is. And the rules didn't favor the office so heavily. So their way less defensive restrictions. We got very lucky to be living in a time to watch the real football days
No man compares to Bo Jackson If you saw him play Stronger and bigger than Dion and berry Sanders . Run you over jump over you. Run circles around you. Put a future hall of fame running back on the bench that's how Great of an athlete . He was. I was actually surprised he's not active with the raiders We sure would like to see him around Raider nation more often
People don’t really understand how impressive these super talented athletes really are. I played in the minor leagues with the Cardinals back in the early 90s. Brian Jordan was a teammate of mine when he was also with the Falcons. Everything he did seemed so easy it was sickening. Most sports people agree hitting a baseball is the hardest thing to do in professional sports…but he was better than most yet only got 1/2 the practice time of the rest of us.
@sydboski does that make sense? If I'm old enough to see Bo, wouldn't it be a safe guess that I saw Herschel play? Other than bobsled, what sport would you say Herschel was better at than Bo?
@Justice777Allah Herschel was a better sprinter, he was a pro MMA fighter with a 5th degree black belt in Taekwondo, on top of being a two time NFL pro bowler and 2x all-pro, 3x USFL all star, and the fore mentioned Olympic Bob sledder.
@sydboski isn't ths USFL the same sport?? Bo was a better football player and would have been a hall of famer in baseball (possibly the most difficult team sport to master), I think that trumps everthing you just mentioned. Let's throw out bobsled, because you could take any strong, powerful athlete and make he or she a bobsledder. Heck, I was born in Jamaica, we don't even have snow or proper facilities, yet we have a competitive bobsled team. And as for track (again being from Jamaica and knowing a lot about the sport), you can't claim Herschel was better at track when their personal bests are separated by a mere .20 seconds. The absence of a head to head makes it impossible to call.
@Justice777Allah LMAO! Yes the USFL the same Sport as the NFL. I Mentioned it so you could see more of Walker's accolades and how versatile he was compared to Bo. Walker played HB, FB, and KR vs Bo at HB only. You do NOT know if Bo would have been a HOF player in the NFL. He was only a part time player. Never ran for more than 950yds in a season and only averaged 4tds and 695yds per season. Those are not HOF numbers. If you've ever seen his career baseball stats they are only average at best. You are entitled to your own opinions, but having an average pro baseball career is not more impressive than making it to the Olympics in any event and placing 7th in the world. If it was so easy, everyone could do it. How many 225- 230 sprinters do you know that could run 10.23 100m? I'll wait........ Lol. So, no you cannot throw out Bobsled. Yes a lot of strong and powerful athletes could be bobsledders, but not a lot could be in the top 10 in the world. So, because you were born in Jamaica, that automatically makes you known a lot about track and field? Sorry bro, but it does not. I have Jamaican friends who were born in Jamaica and some of them know nothing about track and field at all. The Jamaican bobsled team is not competitive. In the last 18 Winter Olympics the 4 man squad only competed in 6 of them with a 24 year layoff. They never reached the top 10. The 2man squad competed 7 times and never made it to the top 15. So Herschel with a 10.23 on is not a better sprinter than Bo at 10.44? A .21 difference is too close to call? Lol. So Bolt at 9.58 is too close to call with Tyson Gay and Yohan Blake both at 9.69? That is only a .11 difference. We all know Bolt is the better sprinter. It's not too close to call. Walker was the better sprinter 100m 10.23 vs 10.44, 55m 6.11 vs 6.18, 100yds 9.3h vs 9.54h. Pretty easy to see who was the better sprinter. I see you did not mention Walker as a pro MMA fighter with a 5th degree black belt in Taekwondo. Why?
When Bo hurt his hip was the saddest day in all of sport! That injury deprived the world of many many more years of a greatness we may never see again.

Bo leading off the allstar game with a homerun on a 90+ mph sinker off his shoetops, dead center. That in itself is just pure, elite, hand eye and powerhouse wrist strength.
another Bo anomaly - he was a low ball hitter ...... Most power guys like it up high.
@@csnide6702 ...Right handed power hitters like it high. Left handers like it low.
Bo says hello
I’m from Kansas City and so grateful that I got to see Bo play live. Such an amazing athlete!
Dang Howie looking good! Remembering the good old days, was a Raider fan from the late 60s maybe 67 . Howie you'll always be on the top of the greatest Raiders and you know its a big list !!!
MR. BO JACKSON is an incredible human being. 👍🙂🙏
Howie the man been a raider fan since 76 and loved see Howie he took a picture with my daughter when they moved to LA she was only 9months old or 10..my wife to this day still in love with him
Bo being a Raider was a tough and confusing time as a Chiefs and Royals fan. The Raiders were an actual rival then, and Bo [along with G.Brett's twilight years] had the Royals relevant in a way they wouldn't be again for decades. So it was pure love for Bo the Royal and negotiating something somehow less than unrelenting hate for the Raiders while he was there.
Yeah, I was a Chiefs fan from the AFL days and that rivalry between them and the Raiders was in-TENSE!!! But I had watched so many Chiefs vs. Raiders games, I knew all of Oakland's players too. As an Auburn, ergo Bo Jackson SuperFan, I didn't have as much trouble as I thought I would when Bo started suiting up in the silver & black. It can hardly be imagined that when baseball season was over, MARCUS FREAKIN' ALLEN would take off his helmet and go sit on the bench cuz Bo was there now---amazing!
I had a hockey hall of famer 25 years ago tell me a story about Bo throwing a guy out at home from the warning track and the stadium go quiet. Not the KC/Seattle one but in Toronto against the Royals. When a hall of famer in a different sport gets that look on their face telling a story about a different athlete in a different sport you pay attention.
No one on his level has shown up in the last 30 years, that tells you something. The only guy I have on Bo's tier is Wilt Chamberlain, those two are barely human
Lol wilt? The dude who was a foot taller than everyone
Jim Brown was the only athlete I've seen comparable to Bo Jackson. But, Jackson was much faster.
Jim brown was an abuser of woman!
Bo was a freak of nature. That throw on Harold Reynolds from the wall was proof. Only one guy makes that throw.
I saw Bo play for KC two games VS the Mariners. Struck out 4 times the first game, two home runs the second. Swung for the fence every time.
Even when he struck out he put on a show,he'd break the bat,either over his helmet or thigh. And sometimes just break it like a stick.
Bo is the best athlete I've watched in my life.
I was that age, grade school, jr high, h.s., in his prime. No internet. "Bo knows"....but it was not built on social media popularity, it was legitimate athletic ability that blew people's minds. At some point it seemed logical that he could take up a sport completely new to him, give him 6-12 months and he'll prove, not promote himself, prove to be the best in the world at it.
I saw most of Bo's games at the LA coliseum, a man amongst boys. Great time to be a Raider fan, when the fights in the stands were so good the players would turn to watch, and Howie forbid his family from attending games at the Coliseum.
BO JACKSON IS THE BEST ALL AROUND ATHELETE I HAVE EVER SEEN PERIOD!
I guess you haven't seen Herschel Walker?
Love listening to Bo stories.
About 20 years ago I seen Bo Jackson training at a health club in suburban Chicago, and let me tell you something, I never seen a build on a man like his! He has the lower body of a MINOTAUR, huge defined legs, with a lean fit upper body! Real specimen of a man💪
I believe you.
Shannon Sharpe was like that, worked out same gym.
The perfect man
i was in Royals Stadium and Bo came out to left field, he just signed with the Raiders, they had stop the game cause footballs were coming out to the field, a lot of fun, Bo Knows!
Bo and Deion were elite guys on a whole other level, glad I got to see it way back when.
Howie Long is so clearly proud of his son, Chris. It's so obvious just by the way he interacts with him. That is a very close Father/Son bond right there.
As a kid from then. Bo was one our childhood sports Greats, Baseball and Football
The scary thing was he was just getting started in baseball and football. Relied on pure instinct and ability.
Bo just didn’t walk off the street and run for 200 yards, he was in pro baseball shape and a world-class athlete 🏃
Pro baseball shape 😂😂😂
Yes, Bo was a freak! The man was unbelieveable. I saw him run into 6 tacklers and busted out for a TD. Never again & never will see another like him. God bless Bo
Bo was the greatest pro football player that I have ever seen! What also blessed me about Bo was that he was very humble.
Marcus Allen was such an incredible player. Could give and take a hit and pivot to where he wanted to go.
I've seen him make some of the quickest cuts in the backfield i've ever seen. And was a tall RB who didn't take direct hits to his upperbody & that's rare
anyone who has had the honor of meeting an old school, top tier defensive end has had the honor of meeting a true hard man. listening to howie long speak and looking at his body and his hands, you know you are looking at the real deal. listening to this apex gladiator talk so glowingly about another shows his humility. i was fortunate enough to work as a chef at a hotel (the hilton garden inn in blacksburg, va) partly owned by the great bruce smith and talk about a low key, down to earth guy . . .! i like listening to these old school guys talk about back in the day, it's like you're hearing about the time of myth.
The only book I ever read from cover to cover was The biography of Bo Jackson in the 8th grade
Bo Jackson will always be a GOD among athletes. Say what you will, but he is a true GOAT. People are still talking about him and he only played for like 4 years. Just imagine had he played a full career. Not only was he a great athlete, he was a good person.
I don't know if we will ever see another athlete like Bo Jackson in our lifetime
Bo was a combination of Earl Campbell and prime OJ, He coulf absorb a clean shot and continue running., he could rum over you or he would see an opening and be gonr. We will never see another like him.
Howie Long was “That guy”. Great player
Ahhhhh, all due respect, Howie was ok. Much better after playing days
bad angle or not, bosworth ran his mouth about shutting bo down and that is what made it such a great run
3:20 I totally agree. I watched it live and me and my bros were like, "Boz got trucked!" (before "trucked" was even a term btw) Upon rewatching it though, it was a very even contest and Bo came out on top. I doubt anyone could have stopped Bo in that situation.
Love that Howie has the Griswold double zero jersey up, I wanted to be like Bo when everybody else wanted to "be like Mike"
One of my all time favorite players.
Howie is a great storyteller. Love to hear him
Howie is easily the greatest Raider defensive player of all time!
Almost. Second only to Lyle Alzado
@@richardthelionheart5594 That’s hilarious. I can’t stop laughing
To me the ultimate Raider defender was Jack Tatum.
@@jaydubya3698 That’s a joke ! Howie Long was a superstar best defensive end for years . Tatum is not in the same stratosphere
@@jaydubya3698 Can't argue w/ that but sentimentally I always favored the stickum DB Lester Hayes and "the mad stork" Hendricks. They were two very impactful players.
The Myth & Legend Bo Jackson 1 of the greatest athletes on the 🌎
Bo was my childhood Hero!! JESUS BLESS 🙏🏿☀️🙏🏿🛡⚔️👑⭐️🩸
Never seen an outfielder with a gun like Bo. I know this is football but his arm was a most impressive 😊
That backfield of Marcus Allen and Bo Jackson. 2 outstanding talents. Allen was Thurman and Ladanian before they were and Bo was just a monster
Bo Jackson. Another superb talent in multiple sports.
I remember the Alabama Auburn game in 1984 i was 9 years old it was thunder or lightning it was dark I just kept hearing the name Bo Jackson he ran like crazy that game.
As a lifelong Broncos fan, Howie Long was a great player.
Bo was the best pure athlete I ever watched!
I love Bo Jackson and wish he never got hurt. He would have easily broken every running record there was.
I grew up in Chicago and was blessed with Payton and MJ. But as a complete athlete I can't think of another but Bo. That man was just phenomenal 🙌
Late 80s early 90s was a special time in sports. Fun times
Luv Marcus Allen…n Bo. GD this is the Howie I want to hear on Sunday.
GREATEST ATHLETE EVER! HANDS DOWN. NO DEBATE. FACTS!
Wrong. Jim Thorpe's athletic accolades destroy Bo's
If you've never seen Bo, he was da-TRUTH👌
I remember watching that Bo/Boz game. That was crazy. I also was watching when Bo got his career ending injury. It really didn't look that serious. It was such a a shame that his career ended so soon. He was fun to watch.
Salute to Bo Jackson he had us as kids playing all sports just trying to be like him. I would watch him play as a Kansas City royal. Not even tripin just the fact that he was showing us kids no matter what background as long as u had athletic ability u was like I can do this. Thanks Bo ur the multi sport goat.
The biggest bummer Ive ever had as a sports fan is when Bo went down w/ that injury. He was the most exciting football player Ive ever seen.
i liked barry sanders too.
Howie, you're a personal hero to me. I only met you once in passing, I was with Lester and no, I don't remember where. Anyway, I raised my grandson to be a Raiders fan. He got a plaque from Lester when I introduced them. The plaque had three trading cards, Lester, Alzado and you. I'd pay for an autograph on your card if I can afford it ( my savings got blown when our daughter died and left her 8 1/2 month old son with us) but no worries. Anyway, if you have an office address or a P.O box or something I'll send it to you. Fun fact, I played DE in HS and college and taught my grandson by watching endless hours of tape on you and Lyle. Thanks for considering this.
I'm an old man now, 86 and counting, and I've followed football all my life (played through college). I've seen exactly 4 guys who could run over, around or through you and didn't care which...but might prefer through, just to spoil your day. Jim Brown, Earl Campbell, Bo and Barry Sanders. As a former fullback, I LOVED watching those guys, and that's not to cast aspersions on anybody else like Payton or especially Sayers, but those 4 were the SH*T!!
I treasure my LONG jersey. TY for signing it Howie.
Best athlete of my lifetime. No telling what records he would have set had he not gotten injured.
A story from backup QB Hugh Millen. After practice in training camp there was a 6 foot high chain link fence. So the whole team was walking to the end of the field to the exit. Bo just walked up to the fence and from a standing start just jumped the fence. What athletic ability
Being a lifelong War Eagle I saw Herschel Walker play the year they won the National Championship. He was a man among boys. But when I saw Bo his freshman year it was awe inspiring. Herschel would run over everyone and it took a minimum of 2 guys to tackle him. Bo was the same way except he could outrun EVERYONE on the field Herschel couldn’t.
Since I was a kid I’ve always loved howie on tv man. Yea I’m too young to have seen him play, I’ve only known him as a analyst lol. No hot takes just his own take
My son had the Hiccups for 3 months and lost about 25 lbs off a 170 lean body. It sucked big time for him. He went to the Hospital twice for treatment before it passed. 😟
Wtf? 😂
@@jmart1705how df can your reaction to that be a laugh???
@@goldenchild3265 how df can you not?
I’m sorry 😞 😢
Crazy that 6'2, 210lb Marcus Allen was running fullback for 6'1, 230lb Bo Jackson
Marcus was no pushover himself. He was a great team player,he would have played gaurd if they ask him..
Marcus Allen started his college career as a fullback blocking for Charles White at USC. White won the Heisman with Allen playing FB.
Marcus was a tough dude.
Marcus Allen is a Hall of Famer.
Hiccups always go away with holding your breath. BTW, Bo was the greatest. My son played at Auburn and got to meet him.
All of this talk makes me miss Earl Campbell. That was the guy I would want to see again.
You are not alone. He is my all time favourite ball carrier
Bo Jackson: THE GREATEST RUNNING BACK THAT NEVER WAS💪
I just watched the Bo v Boz play and Boz went head up and got ran over.
It was a big deal because both guys were coming out of college with tons of accolades. Fun times.
And that's in the days when everybody could tackle. Dude could hit you hard and no penalty is. And the rules didn't favor the office so heavily. So their way less defensive restrictions. We got very lucky to be living in a time to watch the real football days
do you have any Ted Hendrick story's being that he was such a serious player you would never think he was a jokester .
No man compares to Bo Jackson
If you saw him play
Stronger and bigger than Dion and berry Sanders .
Run you over jump over you. Run circles around you.
Put a future hall of fame running back on the bench that's how
Great of an athlete .
He was.
I was actually surprised he's not active with the raiders
We sure would like to see him around Raider nation more often
Yes, he was. But, pound-for-pound, the toughest player to ever put on the Silver and Black was:
Jack Tatum
I'd say Marcus Allen was a better all around running back. Bo was the secret weapon.
Deon was a great athlete but a sissy
lester hayes, greatest corner all time hands down
Bo was heroic. A true anomaly. Simply the best athlete who ever lived.
Nah that would be Jim Thorpe.
People don’t really understand how impressive these super talented athletes really are. I played in the minor leagues with the Cardinals back in the early 90s. Brian Jordan was a teammate of mine when he was also with the Falcons. Everything he did seemed so easy it was sickening. Most sports people agree hitting a baseball is the hardest thing to do in professional sports…but he was better than most yet only got 1/2 the practice time of the rest of us.
Bo is hands down the best athlete I have evet seen. And I am not a one sport guy. He was a legit superstar in both sports.
I guess you haven't seen Herschel Walker?
@sydboski does that make sense? If I'm old enough to see Bo, wouldn't it be a safe guess that I saw Herschel play? Other than bobsled, what sport would you say Herschel was better at than Bo?
@Justice777Allah Herschel was a better sprinter, he was a pro MMA fighter with a 5th degree black belt in Taekwondo, on top of being a two time NFL pro bowler and 2x all-pro, 3x USFL all star, and the fore mentioned Olympic Bob sledder.
@sydboski isn't ths USFL the same sport?? Bo was a better football player and would have been a hall of famer in baseball (possibly the most difficult team sport to master), I think that trumps everthing you just mentioned. Let's throw out bobsled, because you could take any strong, powerful athlete and make he or she a bobsledder. Heck, I was born in Jamaica, we don't even have snow or proper facilities, yet we have a competitive bobsled team. And as for track (again being from Jamaica and knowing a lot about the sport), you can't claim Herschel was better at track when their personal bests are separated by a mere .20 seconds. The absence of a head to head makes it impossible to call.
@Justice777Allah LMAO! Yes the USFL the same Sport as the NFL. I Mentioned it so you could see more of Walker's accolades and how versatile he was compared to Bo. Walker played HB, FB, and KR vs Bo at HB only. You do NOT know if Bo would have been a HOF player in the NFL. He was only a part time player. Never ran for more than 950yds in a season and only averaged 4tds and 695yds per season. Those are not HOF numbers. If you've ever seen his career baseball stats they are only average at best. You are entitled to your own opinions, but having an average pro baseball career is not more impressive than making it to the Olympics in any event and placing 7th in the world. If it was so easy, everyone could do it. How many 225- 230 sprinters do you know that could run 10.23 100m? I'll wait........ Lol. So, no you cannot throw out Bobsled. Yes a lot of strong and powerful athletes could be bobsledders, but not a lot could be in the top 10 in the world. So, because you were born in Jamaica, that automatically makes you known a lot about track and field? Sorry bro, but it does not. I have Jamaican friends who were born in Jamaica and some of them know nothing about track and field at all. The Jamaican bobsled team is not competitive. In the last 18 Winter Olympics the 4 man squad only competed in 6 of them with a 24 year layoff. They never reached the top 10. The 2man squad competed 7 times and never made it to the top 15. So Herschel with a 10.23 on is not a better sprinter than Bo at 10.44? A .21 difference is too close to call? Lol. So Bolt at 9.58 is too close to call with Tyson Gay and Yohan Blake both at 9.69? That is only a .11 difference. We all know Bolt is the better sprinter. It's not too close to call. Walker was the better sprinter 100m 10.23 vs 10.44, 55m 6.11 vs 6.18, 100yds 9.3h vs 9.54h. Pretty easy to see who was the better sprinter. I see you did not mention Walker as a pro MMA fighter with a 5th degree black belt in Taekwondo. Why?
