If you didn't get a chance to watch this tonight, please find another showing of it and DVR it. It is awesome. Bo is awesome. That is all.

Just finished watching it..

I had forgotten how he got hurt and what made him retire.. I knew it was his hip, but you will see the detail of it and how he came back!!

Here's an auto I picked up of him this past year or so.. but I think I need to get one of him as Raider..

I pulled an auto'd bat barrel of his /5 from 06 (I think) Sweet Spot. Should have kept it but sold it on eBay long ago.

Bo straight snapping the bat over his thigh like it was a twig is still one of the most insane/intimidating things I've ever seen on a ballfield.

The Bo 30 for 30 now enters my Top 3 of the 30-30 series. Lot of good quotes:

"Bo Jackson is almost like the Beatles of great sports stars because you never got to see him fade."

"God blessed me with the speed that I can run like a spooked deer. He blessed me w/an arm like a high-powered rifle. With all that talent, you have to do something great and I happened to be good at sports"

"He did not seem interested in being one kind of person"

"At 19 years old, Bo Jackson said no to George Steinbrenner and Bear Bryant. At 23, as #1 pick in draft, he said no to the NFL"

You can do positive 30-30's ESPN !
