Small box immortality

I never bought into the whole Bo Jackson thing. Sure he "knew" how to play like a thousand sports and once bowled over the 112 pound Brian Bosworth on route to the endzone. But the dude finished with a grand total of 16 touchdowns in his "hobby" and hit a perfectly mediocre .250 in his "profession."

As far as I am concerned, the only thing Bo Knows is degenerative hip conditions.

The video game Bo, that's another story.


A story about Nike propaganda bowling over video game designers. Running on a pixilized hip, Video Bo dominated video games like Hannity dominates Colmes.

It was such an imbalance using Video Bo was a faux pas in my Tecmo Bowl playing days.


But the kids today, with their Youtube ...

Bo wasn't so bad in college either, ending this run with a rare 2520.
