Bo Jackson was like a real life super hero. Growing up in the 80’s and 90’s this guy was right there with MJ. I can’t remember anyone people would ever tune in to watch more, even to this day
I got a true fact for you. BO JACKSON was even BIGGER than Michael Jordan. SERIOUSLY ! His football injury changed ALL THAT ! Remember. Jordan didn't really become The Jordan he is now until....1992. By then, and unfortunately, BO had become.... Human.
42 and Bo was like my childhood hero and obsession. He was like a super hero, one of the most amazing athletes and his football ending injury was tragic.
What a good man. I love hearing that he would have retired that season for the sake of his young son’s mental health. And some great stories. Good hearted man.
At around 10:30 in the conversation I enjoyed the discussion about the inflight emergency involving Bo since I was the Captain of that flight. What a great athlete!
Bo knows… I love that guy. As a KC fan it was hard to see him with the Raiders, but his time at Auburn and KC will always be fondly remembered. My dog is named after him. One named Bo. One named KC.
The best part of this interview is when he explains why he quit football and it shows that it's so important to have educated/informed and caring parents growing up.
I kept telling everyone: This was going to be Bo's last season in football, but no one wanted to believe it. Why? #1: The reason he said; and #2: He also had a new 4-year $27M with the Royals.
Great interview as usual, Rich! I just ordered the new book about Bo Jackson by Jeff Pearlman, who did an interview with Ryen Rusillo. Bo was like a real-life superhero to those of us who watched him play for Auburn, the Raiders, and the Royals as it was happening. I’m glad people remember him, and it’s nice to see what a good life he’s made for himself and his family.
Tecmo and Tecmo Super Bowl absolutely added to the myth. Many people didn't even get to watch him play actual football, but spammed the hell outta him in those games.
I know how his career would have been. Sad it ended the way it did. Saw him in Chicago when he was a White Sox rehabbing. The guy could do anything he wanted.
I remember the time as a teen I shook Bo Jackson’s hand at his daughters 16 birthday. His grip could crush someone’s throat 😂 Shaking his hand is like trying to squeeze a rat and it doesn’t flinch.
"I've been doing that since I was 8-9 years old" is such a great answer. It's one of those statements that is hilarious because legends genuinely mean that when they say it, and it's so absurd to us as fans when in reality it really was just a regular day at the office for him to do the things he did.
I HATE off camera interviews. Zoom, Skype, mobile, studio. Doesn't matter. The device mics all sound like sht and you can barely understand the interviewee. I'll pass. Even as much as I respect Bo Jackson.
I’m going to be dating myself with this question but here it goes…..anybody here watch the cartoon ProStars back in the day? Bo was my favorite back then!
Hmm.. The Royals were playing the Red Sox on 7-21-90 and Bo didn't play at all. I can understand misremembering the teams but did he get his daughter's birthday wrong?
Bo said he purposely got thrown out of a baseball game to spend time with his newborn daughter and you question if that was really his most impressive sports feat? That’s got to be one of the dumbest and most disrespectful questions I’ve ever heard, congrats Rich.
Dude! He got thrown out on purpose to see his baby get born! Ok that's freaking legend. Now hearing he was going to leave football so his kid could have some roots and keep friends?! The greatest athlete to walk the Earth was going to give up one of the venues he can show off his skills for his kids growth?! That's even more legend. As a former h.s. football coach I've seen a lot of talent wasted by morons and scumbags. To be as good as he was and he didn't end up a neverwas, wash out loser is amazing. Credit to his family, coaches and teachers to instill such good ethics
Bo was drafted by the Bucaneers. Because of the lies that Hugh Culverhouse had told him, Bo refused to sign with the Bucs, and told them that he would NEVER play for the Bucs. Other people would have caved. Bo kept to his promises, and decided to play baseball, rather than play for Hugh Culverhouse.
I was a Freshman at AU when that happened. We had a great baseball team that year and I think a good chance to win it all. When the NCAA rules Bo as ineligible because of what Hugh did it crushed Bo and the team. Bo is definitely one to hold a grudge and I bet he still holds a grudge regarding that. He and the team lost an opportunity they could never get back.
@@barrym2112 The thing is, Bo is a man of integrity. He didn't care about the money, but if you screwed him over, he would NEVER forget it. As a Florida resident, I feel ashamed that we were associated with Hugh Culverhouse. Although it would have been fun to see Bo play as a Buc, I am much happier that he refused to be drafted by the Buccaneers. Class act, and Hugh Culverhouse, on the other hand, was the exact opposite.
Bo doesn’t have to play himself in a video game. C’mon! Also, getting kicked out of a game to go spend time with his wife and newborn. Epic! Oh god! Frank Tanana reference! Junk pitchers still rule!
I'm a huge fan of this Gentlemen .. Great athlete. Better man . Humble. Straight shooter . Cool dude .
Bo Jackson was like a real life super hero. Growing up in the 80’s and 90’s this guy was right there with MJ. I can’t remember anyone people would ever tune in to watch more, even to this day
Yeah, to this day he is my hero. I recall having his cereal and watching a cartoon with him, MJ, and Wayne Greakesky as super heroes.
Yes
Remenber a cartoon of Bo, Michael, Montana and Gretzky.
I got a true fact for you.
BO JACKSON was even BIGGER than Michael Jordan. SERIOUSLY !
His football injury changed ALL THAT !
Remember. Jordan didn't really become The Jordan he is now until....1992.
By then, and unfortunately,
BO had become.... Human.
@@lordabyss Pro Stars!! 👍🏽👍🏽
Bo Jackson is the athlete who should be running for national office.
He doesnt sound like he has a brain injury
Better vet his personal life, know whattamean...
42 and Bo was like my childhood hero and obsession. He was like a super hero, one of the most amazing athletes and his football ending injury was tragic.
Bo Jackson... Was the greatest Athlete of the 20th century. Hands Down.
Jim Thorpe might have an argument here but in my lifetime yes
Those two and Secretariat are my athlete Rushmore guys. Maybe Jim Brown to make four.
I would go with ever !
@@jerryneil8558 imagine Bo Jackson in the Jim Thorpe days…lol…Jim Thorpe was a Offensive Tackle compared to Bo Jackson👊🏾
All time 😊
Bo sat in front of me at the 2003 Super Bowl. Great great guy.
I love this. I could listen to Bo Jackson tell stories all day. So humble and impressive.
It was an honor to watch him play both sports... 🎖️
What a good man. I love hearing that he would have retired that season for the sake of his young son’s mental health. And some great stories. Good hearted man.
Total respect for this guy. Just incredible skills.
Bo knows... We didn’t see enough of him.
Tremendous respect for BO Jackson!!!
At around 10:30 in the conversation I enjoyed the discussion about the inflight emergency involving Bo since I was the Captain of that flight. What a great athlete!
That's awesome 😃
Bo Knows ! Man oh Man what a time to be alive if you were for fortunate enough to see Bo play live
Nobody even close to him as far as an athlete. By far the best I have ever seen.
Bo knows… I love that guy. As a KC fan it was hard to see him with the Raiders, but his time at Auburn and KC will always be fondly remembered. My dog is named after him. One named Bo. One named KC.
Agreed 100%
Raaaayydaaaaaahhs
@@JedirieFTW agreed. I was surprised that almost nobody mentions this in Kansas City or elsewhere.
bo Jackson is my all time favorite athlete
Great interview!
Great interview, I like how respectful Rich was throughout
The best part of this interview is when he explains why he quit football and it shows that it's so important to have educated/informed and caring parents growing up.
Bo was the best athlete of his generation and never worked out.
I kept telling everyone: This was going to be Bo's last season in football, but no one wanted to believe it. Why? #1: The reason he said; and #2: He also had a new 4-year $27M with the Royals.

Bo is the best athlete I've ever seen, great man as well.
Bo = class, humility, timeless talent!
Much respect to this Legend!
I remember watching Bo play against the Toronto Blue Jays 🇨🇦 . One of my favorite all time athletes .
Was and is one of my favorite's of all time. What a great guy.
That was a cool interview! I still love Bo!
Leads off with the question we all wanted answered!
PETITION to get BO JACKSON into the NFL Hall of Fame.
In college we used to say before talking to a girl. I am about to go Bo Jackson off tackle. Touchdown every time!!!!
Tecmo and Tecmo Super Bowl absolutely added to the myth. Many people didn't even get to watch him play actual football, but spammed the hell outta him in those games.
My wife wouldn't let me a true sign of a mature and humble man who is extremely self confident like ALL men should be.
Bo knows......its sad that you have to be old to know Bo Knows and Bo and Marcus in Tecmo bowl...haha
Bo is cooler than the other side of the pillow..Love Bo!
Look at Bo’s attitude towards his family vs. Tom Brady, interesting.
STOP THAT.
I know how his career would have been. Sad it ended the way it did. Saw him in Chicago when he was a White Sox rehabbing. The guy could do anything he wanted.
He probably could've played in MLB until around 2001 if he never got hurt.
Bo Knows.. another day, another hobby commercial. That commercial was in Lethal Weapon 2. Danny Glover scene.
Bo Jackson, America's Hercules
Bo Jackson was so strong I remember him breaking a bat like toothpicks.
He's also the Tecmo Bowl Goat
I remember the time as a teen I shook Bo Jackson’s hand at his daughters 16 birthday. His grip could crush someone’s throat 😂 Shaking his hand is like trying to squeeze a rat and it doesn’t flinch.

There will NEVER be another
BO JACKSON in ANY Sport !
NEVER !
Talk about a TRUE TO LIFE, HUMAN MYTHICAL FIGURE ! # 34 !
He was a cartoon character on a Saturday morning cartoon show. His super power was he was Bo Jackson.
Bo should be in the NFL and MLB hall of fame
Bo’s Da Man! Legend! Freak athlete.
I like Bo even more now than ever.
Bo Jackson collector group.....any Bo Jackson collectors, come join!!!
He always mentions his wife of 30 years. He's so proud of her.
THE MAN
My brother in law always used the niners in tecmo…myself? Bo Jackson…..niners kryptonite……lol
Brian Joedan played both sports. And was teammates with Deion with the Braves and Falcons.
He was like a super hero. Just amazing
The best athlete we ever seen and the best you can do is interview him inside a tin can? He deserves much more respect than this cheesy technology.
Once in a 5 generation athlete
Bo Jackson was like a 2022 running back playing in 1988.
Much respect. Chose his daughter over the game.
Best Ever Period !
Best damn athlete.
Bo and Neon,,,, that's all folks
Bo having not played Tecmo Bowl needs to be fixed like how they had Mike Tyson play his NES game a few years back.
American Legend !
The real most interesting man in the world. Lol
I HATE off camera interviews. Zoom, Skype, mobile, studio. Doesn't matter. The device mics all sound like sht and you can barely understand the interviewee. I'll pass. Even as much as I respect Bo Jackson.
damn dude that sucks. sorry to hear that
Damn Bo looks like Young Jeezy
Bo Jackson is the greatest what if in the history of sports…Len Bias a close second.
That was money Rich, thank u
Greatest accomplishment was getting tossed so he could spend time with his newborn and wife...
BO KNOWS LOVE 💕
THE GREATEST....ever.
War Eagle Bo!
It's a shame what Bo could have been. Night and day difference between him and Deion-as an athlete and a person
BO KNOWS
There are hardly any unopened video games from back in the day. We all ripped that open when we were walking out the door.
Bo is hilarious
My friends had a rule. I couldn't play with the Raiders when we played techno bowl
Thats an amazing story about him going to retire anyway.
I’m going to be dating myself with this question but here it goes…..anybody here watch the cartoon ProStars back in the day? Bo was my favorite back then!
Sure did. With MJ too.
Yes sir 👍🏽
Bo Jackson was actually still in high school when he ran over Bosworth.
It sounds so stupid when Rich mentions the guests name like 15-20 times during the interview.
Bo knows Engine Failure…..🙂😂
I think the most amazing thing out of any of these stories is that a flock of birds flew at 34,000 feet. They might have been Pterodactyls
dont open that
How unfortunate this interview turned out so terribly. Love Bo, love Rich, but the connection made this almost unbearable.
Bo knows age.
I will buy an unopened Bo Jackson signed Tecmo Bowl game right now. I will sell my house!
Hmm.. The Royals were playing the Red Sox on 7-21-90 and Bo didn't play at all. I can understand misremembering the teams but did he get his daughter's birthday wrong?
Bo you don't know diddly .
Been following professional bowling for years and I don't recognize the name.
Bo said he purposely got thrown out of a baseball game to spend time with his newborn daughter and you question if that was really his most impressive sports feat? That’s got to be one of the dumbest and most disrespectful questions I’ve ever heard, congrats Rich.

RAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIDERS!!!!
HOFER as a Dad ,would have been a HOFER in ⚾️ and inl 🏈 if he had played long enough
Catch him if you can.
You can't.

whoa... what.. would have retired anyway? Bo knows Dad responsibility
Please don’t create another Hershel.
Don't want to be the only negative here but he didn't win the Cottonbowl in 86
Bo>Deion
Bo just needs a new phone. :)
Bo doesn’t have to play himself in a video game. C’mon! Also, getting kicked out of a game to go spend time with his wife and newborn. Epic!
Oh god! Frank Tanana reference! Junk pitchers still rule!
