I watched it with my 12 year old and that was a very good father/son hour. My son now knows the greatness of one of if not the best athlete in the history of sports. Loved all the stories of his childhood, the batting cage falling on them, the apple throwing. And I always remembered him being humble with all the attention and fame. You think the Bama coach that told him he wouldn't play until his sophomore or junior seasons regrets that visit? Great show

The show definitely didn't do anything to quell all the legends I heard from people growing up in central Alabama.

Awesome show. I will definitely re-watch.

The dude was a monster! Without a doubt the best athlete ever. He sure did hate Tampa Bay. I can't say that I blame him after what they did to him.

IMO Bo would have ended his career on MLB hof if he had not played football. Dude was a great player. He just needed a little more time.

Seeing him break that bat over his head still blows my mind.

That was the stated goal of the director. Introduce a generation that didn't see Bo to one of if not the greatest pure athlete ever.

Bo was an absolute beast. Great 30/30. Always been a fan of Bo Jackson but even more so now.

Once in a lifetime athlete. Auburn and Auburn fans were very lucky to have witnessed that firsthand.

It was good. He was amazing.

I honestly wanted to start a thread discussing Bo and Herschel. But thought better of it since it would boil down to Auburn and Georgia fans screaming for their guy.

Man I had almost forgotten what a phenom Bo was. Can't believe he was only 28 when his career ended in football. That throw to home plate from the track in left field was beyond unreal.

Was Tecmo Bo mentioned? Doc is a total flop if not.

Loved watching that, brought back a lot of childhood memories. Wasn't an Auburn, Raiders or Royals fan but just loved watching Bo play. The fact he excelled at two major sports blew my mind as a kid, he was the greatest pure athlete I still have ever seen. Also I loved they mentioned the Tecmo Bowl, Bo was just unstoppable, so much so that my friends and I had a 'No Bo' Rule when we played. Also had this bad boy hanging in my room when I was little kid as did a lot of kids during that time.

Just added this on my to do list on the DVR. Set to record Wednesday.

For those of you who enjoy the Bo one....if you haven't watched the Marcus Dupree, The U, and Pony Excess: Watch them. All three are phenomenal.

The Marcus Dupree one, to me, was sad. I saw a poster above state that every NFL rookie should watch his story. I agree with that. Dupree's story is a perfect example of safeguarding your assets and planning for your financial future in case something goes wrong.
