I love hearing Bo Jackson speak. It’s so soothing.
Robert Harrison woah
@@zaffixes it is tho
It’s crazy because he use to have a stuttering problem growing up. He worked on it and now you would never know
Gayyyyyyyy
@@brendonlarmond6950 I never knew this i thought it was just cte
I'm 42 and he's still easily the best all around athlete I've ever seen in my life. 4.13 at 230-235 Pounds = INSANE
Same here lol. He was a beast !!!!
Best athlete ever. No one comes close
You'd be surprised how heavy sprinters are. They are actually quite heavily muscled. Some sprinters are well over 200lbs.
@Mark Metternich .... I think Jordan could've been a great sprinter. 4.3 in the 40 as a sophomore in college is nasty!
There is absolutely no way that the truth not electronically timed which is slower and is the way they do it today. Hand time has so many inaccuracies plus the fact he was just way too heavy.
Who remembers him running up the outfield wall with the Royals!? 😲
Love that
I remember watching him do that when he played minor league for The Memphis Chicks. He is, without question, the greatest athlete to ever play any sport. Period....
@Jack Burton
Ran him over and ruined his career. Hit him so hard, it made him a B movie actor...
The most impressive athletes I've ever seen in person were Bo Jackson and Vernon Davis.
Those two looked like they were sculpted by God.
@@brianoflaherty6190 As a Niner Fan, Vernon was a freak of nature. What's more impressive is his artwork and the fact he's into olympic curling lol
I am 46 and Mr. Jackson is best/strongest all around athlete I’ve ever seen. Also, he is extremely humble and is the consummate gentleman as well. I wish today’s athletes would follow his lead..
I guess you've never seen Herschel Walker or Wilt Chamberlain?
Bo Jackson is the closest a human being will ever get to a literal train.
So I guess Herschel Walker is closest to a bullet train cause he was just as big, but faster.
I think that Bo Jackson and Barry Sanders are the exact opposites on the Halfback spectrum. Bo will stiff arm your soul to the ground and Barry will dodge everything in his path
Derek henry
Jerome bettis.
sydboski no. If no ran a 4.13 which is the fastest where does Herschel walker measure up to that
I love how they laughed about him saying he’d want his kid playing golf and stopped and then he told them he’d lost friends that he didn’t know about until he saw concussion
This man I respect greatly with how well he preformed and how he was always humble
@knightowl50 as a coach and former player ive looked thourougly at the research. The CTE epidemic is drastically over blown for numbers of reasons. There is also incredible strides that have been made to help the brain recover, not just from CTE, but all types of brain issuses like PTSD and dementia but they are getting absolutely zero media coverage
knightowl50 the original comment never even claimed sports should be banned you’re the one over reacting. If your own friends died due to concussions you wouldn’t want your kid to play football either. He even says he wouldn’t go back and change playing football. You’re an idiot.
Anthony Arena “I’ve looked thoroughly at research” HAHAH yeah no you haven’t. Nothing about it is being overblown. It’s the simple fact that your head is protected and kept still causing your brain to slam against your skull. You’re clearly an idiot who can’t accept the truth. If you hit like that without helmets you would break your skull, doing it with a helmet doesn’t magically fix things it reverts all force to your brain. You’re embarrassing yourself. Truly. I love football and it’s a unfortunate side effect but it’s undeniable. I’m sure you believe climate change isn’t real and the earth is flat but you’ve also somehow done thorough research on that too huh? Don’t look now, everyone can tell you’re an idiot.
@knightowl50 They should ban heading for young girls in that case yes. There is a famous ex International player called Gary Linekar who refused to head the ball his entire career because of CTE.
I once got a CTE like brain injury and it was the worst experience of my life and made me suicidal. I can only imagine what these pro athletes go through.
There is no honour in not growing with the times.
BaronVonBielski thanks for realizing that too
Bo Jackson is a hall of famer in our hearts and is all that matters
Best part
“Raise the door”
Killed it
I feel like adrian Peterson is is the closest thing to bo Jackson in the sense of size strength brute force speed agility. Obviously Peterson wasn’t as fast but he did run a 4.3
Yeah he was but now Saquon Barkley took that spot no question.
iCanHearThem PERKYS CALLIN lol 🧢
Uhh how about derrick henry?
Kalim nah Derrick Henry is pretty much straight strength
Benjamin Vague right Derrick is more comparable to Eddie George big strong tall back who has some speed Peterson runs away and through guys
Who remembers bo Jackson in tecmo bowl???
Running laps around the field 🤣
Bro you’re cheating
😂😂😂💪🏻💪🏻
Imagine Lamar Jackson and Bo Jackson in the same backfield 😳😳😳😳
Use to make my little brother cry playing the game
Not only was Bo the fastest guy on the field when he played, he would straight up truck dudes all the time.
As a Raider fan I've watched every snap he ever took and I've never seen anyone run someone over and almost not break stride, Bo has as many highlights running dudes over as he does long runs, forget about the Boz run that was nothing compared to many others where he lowered the boom!💥
"Truck" I haven't heard that in sooo long 💀😂💪
Like the time he about killed Mark Kelso
Darrell green..
@@lop6471 Green might catch him, but then get run over.
He was the best athlete I ever saw. I was at the Seahawk Raider game that he ran over Bosworth. He was passing people like they were standing still. In retrospect, Bosworth did pretty good, that he was really trying to stop a missile!!!!! I am honored to have seen him play. Go Bo Go!!
Notice at 3:57 he says that athletes are bigger, stronger, and more intense. Usually guys say bigger, stronger, faster 😂😂 No one was as fast as Bo
6:30
From 89-95 I used to put ESPN on at 7am just to see Bo highlights !
James Tyler he didn’t lift weights dude, you’ve got no idea what you’re talking about
@James Tyler That's true when we can verify that the others they were beating were juicing, like with Lance Armstrong. In Bo's case, we can't.
steroids hit different in 2020
I think Bo would of been the greatest running back of all time if he didn’t get hurt
I'd say to 3... Barry Sanders was the greatest pure runner. But Bo was phenomenal!
I respect that
Pats nation 4 life he still wouldn’t have been better that Barry Sanders, but Bo would’ve definitely been up there in the top 5
Yes Sir, he and Marion Motley both were sadly injured way too early, both were big 230 pound running backs, and both averaged over 5.4 yards per carry.
Same thing with Terrell Davis if he didn’t get hurt early, he was on pace to break all the records
This man is singularly the reason I’m a Raiders fan today. I was lucky to be a kid that was able to enjoy Bo in NFL and MJ in the NBA in the late 80s blowing everyone away.
Bo defines class and I love it; got so much respect for him, and I just hate his football career ended WAY too soon.
For being the best athlete the world has ever known, Bo is incredibly humble. What a great story to hear about his accomplishment for his mother trumps everything he did on the field.
How is he the greatest athlete the world has known?
@@sydboski
Wilt tho.
@@sydboskiI think the burden is on you there, not Bo.
@@JohnMegaton2062 The burden is on me to do what?
Bo had the best 30 for 30 documentary! I've watched it at least 5 times!
same here
His quote I used to throw rocks!!
The U another great one
@@EzMoney95 the u is the thug 30 for 30
Deion is a close 2nd
Bo was different, when he made that statement about opening the door I knew he wasn't lying 😂
Producer in the guys ear when Bo is talking about concussions:
"Change the subject! Change the subject!"
when the Raiders had Bo and Marcus in the backfield - it was Perfection.
good times.
All was well with the world
Best athlete ever, and I met him at a food show a year after he retired in 95’. Talked with him for close to a half hour, and bought some of his power bars. One the nicest human beings as well. Humble and gracious, and a great role model for kids today.
You know deion sanders is going to have something to say about this ...lol
I think Deon would agree. Bo was as fast/faster than Deon, and so big & powerful!
Best pro athlete I had ever seen play, hands down.
@DeWayne Phillips 4.13 in his NFL scouting time... nuf said
yeah deion i think is alot faster. but bo was fast
@@Lucas-tj2qc Where is your proof? Bo's recorded NFL scout 40 time was faster... 4.12?... 4.13 according to him.
You can argue Deon was more agile, but hard to argue as fast, without the data.
Daniel Dietsche 40 speed is more acceleration than speed Deion might of been faster need to compare their 100 meter dash rather than 40
Who else stopped the video as soon as Stephen A appeared?
spoiler alert, not there yet. Thanks for warning.
@@elvis316 whats not to like about him, he's alright by me.
He is an egg head.
Me, but I always do that. I just fast forward to the part where Max starts talking.
I did and here's why
I waited on Bo back in the day. His first time in my section I treated him like a normal person. Someone came up to get his autograph and I cut the guy off and told him to sit down and not bother Bo. When I dropped off Bo's Ahi Tuna Salad he asked me why I did that. I told him he's just someone trying to have a peaceful lunch. He tipped me $100 on a $19 check and told me he would only sit with me from then on.
I waited on him for a year and a half until I left the restaurant. Turned out Bo was a real private guy and liked being to himself which made him happy that I kept people away from him. Over time we did get to talk but more about life instead of sports. On my last shift I just had to ask him if he knew why he was so good in Tecmo Bowl. He didn't so I told him the Japanese creator thought he was godlike and because of his man crush, he programmed him that way.
Overall one of the nicest guys I've ever met. But I'm really surprised to see this clip because being out in the open wasn't his thing 15 years ago. He did tell me that he ran a 4.13 in college and I remember laughing at him because I thought he was messing with me.
Definitely a man of few words but a true representation of class and dignity.
Mike Ratkiewicz Cool story bro. Blog it.
"Being out in the open wasn't his thing 15 years ago."
People don't want too much attention, but they don't want too little either.
@@EGarrett01 Depends in the person. Different people want different things.
Everett01 come to think of it, I went all these years (I’m 47 now) not knowing and Coulda went the rest of my life not knowing.
Just me though.
@Purple Heart Scott
I don't know what you're talking about.
His likeness will never be seen again in our lifetime, I thank God I got to witness true greatness...
Coming from a Bama fan, I love this guy and his genuine character
Me too, been a Bama fan my entire life, but Bo is my favorite player. It's a hard thing to cope with sometimes. Especially when he's on the sideline at Jordan-Hare when they're beating us. I hope Bear Bryant beat that assistant stupid for running him over to that shithole. Well, I hope he beat him smart, he was already stupid...
Roll Tide
Bo Knows!! Dude is so direct and no nonsense! As a player, once showed up late to a Royals game because he stopped to help someone with a flat tire. He is legit and a role model!!
Never saw Bo get arrested..What a great human being..My favorite athlete ever.
You're not supposed to see him get arrested.
they'd never catch him in a foot chase
The man was legit! I saw him in person several times when he played for the Royals, fastest human I've ever seen in person, and his size made it that much more impressive.
Jace Collins Think Darnell green was faster lokk it up in 10 fastest ever. NFL.
@@anthonychiulli7736 gtfo u don't know diddly
@@anthonychiulli7736 Darrell was faster but he was 5'8 175. Bo was 6'1 230
@@kimnora53
So what difference that makes. Darnell Green was the fastest in NFL. For years.
@@anthonychiulli7736 what part of their size difference don't you understand? It's harder to get more weight and mass moving than less. Especially in a short sprint like the 40.
A man Bo's size running a even a 4.2 40 is freaky.
Him saying he’s only had one concussion really means he’s had over 100. Especially being a running back then
Some people just have thicker skulls
theringmaster886 doesn’t matter their brains still shake in place
Those concussions dropped his 40 from a 4.4 to a 4.2 lol
Nah he was the one giving them concussions
@@Ismoked4451 beat me to it
Bo's first career MLB hit off Steve Carlton is a great example of his unique speed and acceleration. It was a grounder to second base that he beats out very easily. One of many wonderful highlights he left us all to marvel at. Every once in a while, an athlete comes along who doesn't need to lift weights or eat a specific diet (or use PEDs). They are just naturally gifted as they are. I think that was what Bo was.
Bo’s a legend. He made me laugh and he’s so genuine about all that he feels and has done..much respect to Bo 💪🏽
In my book , the best pro athlete ever! So fast, & so powerful!
Daniel Dietsche with a prime that lasted what like 3 pro seasons?
@Thank You 3000 in a sport only played in one country???
@Thank You 3000 yes, so good that nobody else plays it
@@jakegraham3758 Definitely the most gifted US pro athlete I have ever seen. Pro Bowl in NFL, and MLB All Star, in his short career.
Physically he was on another level.
Him and Wilt Chamberlain were non human tbh they both could play any sport both freakishly strong and fast
This interview is amazing!!!! I miss Bo so much. His like may never be seen again. It's an honor to have seen him work!!!!!
Bo Jackson is the only person Chuck Norris tips his hat to.
Him and Bruce Lee and deion
And Schatzi
Burt Reynolds would like a word
Negative. He'd never tip his hat to a blm
Saw him play at Auburn when I was younger. The most gifted athlete to ever walk this planet, physical specimen. And an all around good man.
He will always be a Hall of Famer in my book 💪🏽
Talent-wise, yes, and possibly in both sports.
@@erad67 if only his body could withstand his athleticism. He would be the undisputed best athlete of all time, no question.
@@erad67 if only his body could withstand his athleticism. He would be the undisputed best athlete of all time, no question.
It's weird that they didnt keep records of the 40 back then considering the fact that guys were slower so to see a fast guy you'd just have to keep a record of it.
They didn't have computers back then.
Summa random scouts probably recorded it. But why would anybody save that for years.
@@jamisojo Geez, wasn't the dark ages! I had a computer back then and we were FAR from wealthy. They might not have used one, but they existed then.
Well if you listen to Bo's story you would see that he didn't run this at the combine. It seems to have been run at Auburn at an impromptu combine set up by the coaches of Auburn for the athlete's to perform for scouts
They have been keeping records for the Olympics since 1897. If they wanted to, there would have been some kind of record or some documentation of the event. I think it is a bunch of malarkey. Bo did not run 4.1 anything legitimately.
Bo is so cool when he mentioned his mother his voice cracked just like all our voices sound when we mentioned our mother
My absolute favorite ATHLETE , EVER!
Growing up he inspired me to go hard and remaining humble!
Great man , Salute Mr. Jackson.
Joey Galloway's 4.18 goes unnoticed.
True. Just like Taylor Mays' 4.24
LaBounti I know, weird
LaBounti I’ve seen a dude personally run a 4.26
E. J. Banks Taylor Mays was a massive disappointment in the nfl that’s why
E. J. Banks Taylor Mays was mistimed did actually you watch the combine or what ?
Tom Brady can confirm he ran the slowest lol
Attila Szabo hey chill out man he’s doing great for 65
6 big gold rings slow you down you know
@@jcearnhardt393 cheating u know
Yeah he can confirm he won 6 superbowl.
ledzz32 what’s one instance of cheating?
I respect this mans honesty and humility
Honesty? He did not run 4.12 or 4.13.
I always admired how well and soft spoken Bo has been. A huge class act.
He had a terrible stutter when he was younger. He had to learn to speak slowly to become who he is today.
The fact that he ran that fast is amazing enough but remember he was 230 pounds!
Yeah I'm not buying it considering nobody has ever come close to that especially at that size. You put up in frame to frame race with the fastest guy now and he'd beat them by a couple steps which is not even humanly possible as no one person is that faster than the rest of society. I don't think people realize how big of a difference he's talking from the next fastest guy. He wasn't correctly electronically time I can guarantee you that it as the NFL switched to this method about 15 years ago I and the times have all gotten slower but they're more accurate now. This is one of those urban legends stories that keep growing as the years go by
@@arthurfonzarelli9828 the time might be a little different, but I doubt we've seen anybody much faster than him since then.
Obviously Olympic sprinters are faster, so it's certainly not unheard of.
Darrel Green was really fast also.
@@arthurfonzarelli9828
If you have never seen Bo Jackson in real life, you would never understand.
Even just LOOKING at him in a baseball uniform, the guy was physically SCULPTED.
Not sculpted by weight lifting. Bo Jackson NEVER LIFTED WEIGHTS.
Let me say that again. He looks like a bodybuilder, but he NEVER LIFTED WEIGHTS.
The only athlete who comes close to looking at impressive as him is Vernon Davis, but Davis is a product of weight training.
I think Bo's naturally strong muscle fiber made him one-of-a-kind.
@@brianoflaherty6190 I grew up watching bo jackson and the hype and legend behind him keeps getting bigger as the years go by. The guy was no doubt a great two sport athlete but his production in both sports on field was nothing to get exicted about. His best hitting years he was in the .250s in mlb and if I'm not mistaken he never had 1,000 yard season in NFL. Individually some highlight reel movements for sure but overall production was way hype than substance. Ali that aside the Whole point here though is this 40 time thing and it is simply not true or even close to being so. I'm an expert on the 40 from 30 years of following the draft at extremely close levels. My above comment explains all of it better. Jackson wasn't even anything more than an average college sprinter. Not claiming bo is lying either but those back in those days didn't have close to accurate testing methods and mistakes were made. Not sure how I can put this into context but what they are saying here is equal to someone now running a 3.9 forty or so which we all know isn't possible or those of us who understand how this works.
@@brianoflaherty6190 The Fonz is right. Bo's 40 is a myth. Sprinter Christian Coleman is the quickest starter in history. He has the quickest first 30m ever recorded at 3.77. He ran an NFL style 40 on turf and semi automatically timed in 4.12. He also is the world record holder in the 60m dash at 6.34. His 100m dash best is 9.76 whereas Bo's is 10.44. Csn you see where this is going? I have more if you want.
Best athlete I've seen in 63 yrs.
Not even close, absolutely the most overrated player of all time.
@@Maverick4841 I agree. Over rated. He was a good athlete but he was no Earl Campbell or Eric Dickerson
@@enlightenedwarrior7119 He was a good man, but people talk like he was the greatest ever. Not sure why, I saw him play and he was a good RB, but not a Legend. Fact is he never even broke 1000 yards rushing in a season. SMH.
How is it fair that Bo Jackson is such a fine human being...kind, insightful, intelligent AND a once a century athlete?
Not a once in a century athlete.
@@sydboski Lol. Yes, he is.
Thank you for all the years Bo! God Bless you, Your Family and most importantly Your Mom! Much Love
What A gentleman. This is the type of man you call Sir.
A great athlete and a great person. Thanks Bo for being you.
Love hearing all the bo stories. He was so competitive
Amazing guy. There will never be another like you. Genuinely humble. Very refreshing.
Total CLASS ...... LOVE BO JACKSON ....... WHAT A PERSON . 🙏
Bo knows. 👌
The amount of time and hard work Bo put into his speaking to the public is 💯 humbling. By far the greatest athlete I've ever seen. I know Jim Thorpe, Jim Brown and Jackie Robinson were amazing talent's, but growing up watching Bo is a memory I'll always cherish. His career was cut short and one could only imagine what stats he would have accumulated!
That was a really well-done interview. So refreshing.
He’s a Hall if Famer to me
That also applies to his family life and commitment to his wife and kids.
Yes especially if these half-hearted athletes with partial careers like Dwight howard get in the NBA Hall..
But for the NFL, I don't think Bo will or should get in -
Roger Craig was the first 1000 yd rusher + 1000 yd receiver in a single season - he was ahead of his time, the premonition of Marshall Faulk, and all these backs today who catch passes like Kamara, McCaffery etc...
not as "highlight"-worthy was Bo .... sometimes Hall of Famers just keep giving you quality and hard work year after year without the big Nike Ad campaigns and sportscenter highlights...... But Roger didn't get in the Hall this year.... again.
He probably never will - despite winning a Super Bowl without Jerry Rice and being such an important rusher who I think never missed a practice in his entire career. That's how durable Roger was....
During a violent era of defense, that's saying a lot.
So if Roger doesn't get in, as much as I'd love it , I don't think Bo should get in.... and Bo said " I didn't play sports to get in the Hall of Fame". That's great that he's at peace not being in either Hall of Fame.
🙋🏾♂️ ME TOO !
You heard it folks, "baseball bats" and "golf clubs!"
He Forgot to Mention The Brass Knuckles :D
@@CelticBadBoyPoet7 i don't think he

He's there, but Wilt Chamberlain is amazing also. He was a track guy at 7'1", the most dominant basketball player ever and turned into dominant volleyball player.
@@powerboatguy2308yep it’s Bo and Wilt as the two at the top then everyone else way behind. Here’s a thing about comparing modern athletes to these guys. Modern athletes do nothing but work out, run, have personal trainers working with them every day, nutritionists feeding them every meal, trainers who know how to help their bodies recover and stay strong, you name it. Bo didn’t lift weights. Wilt lifted weights but was naturally strong. Neither guy had a team of nutritionists, trainers, doctors, working with them every day to maximize their natural abilities. The difference is Bo and Wilt got out of bed as physical freaks and guys today work 24/7/365 to become them. If those two men were born today with all the advancements we have now in exercise science, nutrition, muscle recovery, general healthcare, supplements…it would be unbelievable what they could do.
Loved watching him play when I was a kid, one of my favorite players to watch football and baseball
God how I wish he never had been injured. What a phenom Bo was/is. God bless you buddy and thanks for the memories.

Bo, I was very fortunate to see you play in college and in the NFL and MLB. You are a legend and one of a kind. Thank you for all the great memories.
In cruise control, Bo runs a 4.3
95% of WR today, 40 lbs lighter than him, can't run a 4.3, hair on fire
He is a legend
I had the biggest man crush on Bo when I was a kid. I collected all of his baseball and football cards. I also use his number 34 for everything.
My all time favorite athletes:
1) Bo
2) Iverson
3) MJ, Brian Dawkins, Shaq
I went to college with Bo. He loved to bass fish. One weekend i went to the Auburn student medical clinic to get some cold medication. Bo was in there with a treble hook from a bass plug stuck in his head. Nice guy.
THAT IS SO TRUE!
He's an incredibly skilled bow hunter, as well.

The love between a son and a mother is Unstoppable.
Bo was a beast and a class act, the biggest hype that delivered from day 1. Unfortunate it was cut short. Watching him and Marcus in the backfield was amazing.
Bo was a role model. He was humble but knew his strengths. He is almost biblical. He was so strong and powerful that he could do anything. His superior power is what ripped his hip from the socket. He legs kept moving and his body said whoaaaa.
Bo Sampson
Why is he so slow in madden😂💀
DRXSTIC I was thinking the same thing
He’s the fastest rated running back in MUT right now. Don’t know what you’re talking about
James Alba he got over 94 speed no chems?
BigGuapMonte the latest bo is like 94 or 95 but I love bo
James Alba but he feels slow like Walter Payton Feels Faster
Getting a new artificial hip then coming back to play in the MLB.I mean how something like that you can recover from is there anyone have done that before getting a crucial bone structure replaced a career ending injury and then able to function normally would be a major accomplishment but return to play pro baseball again it’s really something just the best Athlete of his generation.
Bo, you are the greatest athlete I've seen. You should be in both HOFs. Thanks for accepting interviews. Always good to see you!
He would have been one of the best ever if not for that injury
Facts
Still one of the best ever.
I believe it but they way they used to time it is far less accurate as it is now.
Yea it’s probably more like a 4.2 maybe even high 4.2 like closer to a 4.3 I just don’t believe anyone ran faster than a 4.2
Jake Graham just not possible for a man that size at 6’2 240+ to run that fast. Would have to be on something
Adaboy85 they laser time and have it recorded so the time is accurate now
Guillermo Gomez who says it isn’t back then?
WhathehadasSole it’s improbably well maybe but if anyone can do it it’s most definitely Bo Jackson
How can you not love this man
Its, 2020 and kids are bigger, faster and stronger....and Bo Jackson is still one of a kind.....
I guess I should go watch “Concussion”
The real athlete 🐐!! I feel privileged to have been a kid and got to watch him play.
Spectacular Man, awesome perspectives... I have never heard him speak.
🐐
Grew up watching his career as it unfolded from the beginning to the end as a lot of people did...and he is TOO modest...he is right, players are bigger maybe faster...some.. .but he played in the REAL NFL... as did great quarterbacks that do not need an asterisk next to their name as far as I am concerned...the progression of safety awareness is GREAT in this day and age as we see now the long term effects of sports injuries...nonetheless...alot of these players in todays NFL ( quarterbacks, including the "Almighty Brady" and receivers ) would not last a week in the NFL of past..not a knock on them obviously I am not some pro player, they are talented and work hard but there was a viciousness to the game of old and would have "broken" most of these players today...sorry for the rant ...back to BO JACKSON....BO CAN DO ANYTHING!!
Having watched Bo’s debut and remarkable career, he was truly a great and possibly one of a kind! His legend is well deserved and only surpassed bu his character!
Bro that last 15 sec was all facts! These kids today are too nice for you to be able to start in both sports.
You can tell he’s not lying too
He ran a 4.13 !!!
Christian Coleman ran a 4.12
Bo knows!! What a humble guy.
I played and saw a lot of baseball. At the Kingdome in Seattle I saw him hit the hardest ball I have ever seen. Line drive, straight line, over the centerfield fence into the batting background no change of altitude. As he circled the bases, the crowd was stunned silent
Bo is the epitome of class so I want to make my point in an imploring rather than confrontational manner: A 4.13 is completely at odds with his track and field times. He ran track at Auburn-we hear him say in this interview that he was on his way to Track practice-but his best 100 meter times were a 10.38 (wind aided) and a 10.43 legal. These are really fast times but NO WHERE NEAR 4.13 40 yard dash fast. And I realize a 40 yard and a 100 meter dash are different, but if you get out to a start equal to a 4.13 second 40 yard dash you don't fatigue to the point of a 10.38 100 meters. No way! I know he's not lying so I suspect either they measured 40 yard incorrectly or it was a case of faulty timing. Again, I don't mean to stir up trouble for the sake of it: Bo was quite possibly the greatest all-around athlete in the history of sports! But this 4.12 and now 4.13 40 yard dash claim I've been hearing about in various forms for over 3 decades or so doesn't pass the logic test for me.
I agree
