Back in The mid '80's thru mid '90's, I lived in Kansas City and was a HUGE Bo Jackson fan. I used to tape everything I could that was aired about him on my old VCR. I'm not sure why, but I've saved these tapes for the last 25 years (Damn, has it really been that long!?!). I recently cleaned out a storage shed and found boxes and boxes of old video tapes and over the next several months, I will upload some of the "Bo" footage here.
Thanks for all of the great memories Bo....you truly were a one man highlight reel. For me, both the Kansas City Royals and Major League Baseball have been boring ever since he left the game.
This Show originally aired in 1989 and Bo talks about the media's reaction to his deciding to play both Major League Baseball and professional football.

I like how he still gave the clapping guy a little 'hey' after Arsenio told him to ignore him. Very classy - that little gesture showed a LOT about his character. Good dude.

I was about 11 years old when this aired and I was determined to stay up and watch this because I was a huge Bo Jackson fan. I remember watching the intro to the show then the next thing I knew I was waking up and it was the middle of the night. I was so disappointed that I missed the show. Finally got to watch it!

he was and remains remarkably level-headed about his pro career. can't imagine most athletes these days in big money sports -- especially the ones coming up used 2 having yes men & their ass kissed -- being this grounded & keeping life in its proper perspectives. this man knows the "high life" on top of the sports world & knows what it is to have that taken away. i don't think he cares to this day b/c he had other priorities. right on!

@andchooch7811 11 жыл бұрын

no question they are both incredible athletes.. sanders was amazing in many aspects of both sports.. but i dont think there's any debating that BO was head and shoulders above any athlete we have ever seen.. the man is simply a mutant!

Awesome, and this is coming from a Seahawks fan :) Living in the UK all my life I haven't seen many extended interviews of BJ and he seems very grounded and sincere, especially for a guy who was 26 in this clip. I particularly like his polite, but firm, put down of Deion Sanders. Very true: The only people who ever got anywhere by shooting their mouths off were politicians!

It was a shot at Deion. Deion made the football HOF. Also played baseball for a decade. Deion hit a HR and scored a touchdown in the same week. Deion has a different personality than Bo did. That was all that was. If you're not going to say something nice about somebody, you shouldn't say anything at all. I respect Bo but just thought that personal shot at Deion was unnecessary.
