My money says Herschel will be telling people it was him who paid

Bo and his wife are good folks and I’m just going to say that reading this gives me a good feeling I’ll carry all day.

Not if I have any say in it.

It’s noon - you should be well on your way to oblivion by now anyway.

I was going to post the exact same thing. I guess we can say, “Bo knows Love.”

Awesome contribution to the thread.

Sure beats Reynolds. A family gets murdered and all she has are empty T & Ps.

Poor Boz.

Chuck Long should have won the heisman.


I do wish I was able to see Bo play though. Especially when he was jacking homers in Kauffman.

No he shouldn’t have. And yes I Bo play many times. Every time he got up to bat it was must watch even when he struck out. Greatest athlete I ever saw live.

Did he do the old “strike out and break the bat over his knee thingy”?
As you say, he was an athlete for the eons… Jim Thorpe, Jim Brown, Deon Sanders, Hershel Walker level talent.

Bo bow hunts whitetail deer in SE Iowa. Never met anyone who had anything but good things to say about him.

Obvi me too

People have told me I’m full of shit because his career was so short, but I think he was the greatest running back to ever live. A shooting star, but no one other maybe Barry sanders shined as bright for me.

Bo would have the best… fill in the blank… linebacker, fullback, safety, wide receiver, defensive end, tight end, kick returner, etc… on each field he played on.
Baseball, uh yeah. His hand/eye coordination was top end.
World class sprinter, yep. Old school all sports top tier athlete.
Mr. Jackson was at an athletic level that few in our lifetime achieve.
Seemingly a cool dude as well.

 

[SoonerBeAHawk]

Well yeah, but Bosworth still became the Sheriff of Fanville which is ....

Never mind.

 

[Tenacious E]

I think his most impressive football play was the run against the broncos where he tricked a linebacker and then ran through and away from the secondary…

Cant speek to Thorpe, but Hershal never had the pro career the others had.

Actually saw him do it once. Didn’t really know what you were watching at the time.

BTW, I know he didn’t play long because of injury, the Royals give him very little love.

I will say, that I saw him vs the kid from SC, George Rogers, who won the Heisman that year. Walker won it the next year.
Walker caught a pitch or screen pass out wide. The db’s and lb’s had him nailed just based on the angles.
Walker cogged a gear that had the defenders sucking wind. He left them wondering what happened.
He was one of those athletes that others can only talk about.
