Of all of Jackson's athletic feats, this might be his most impressive. Seriously. Anyone who disagrees, I'd like to see them try it.

His last three seasons he played in 10, 11 and 10 games. Plenty of running backs don't play 16 games a season. Deeper dive:

In Fournette's first three seasons he had 2,631 yards in 36 games.

Jackson's career: 2,782 yards in 38 games.

Pretty much the same guy.

Fournette full time, Bo part time. Now do Fournette's baseball stats.

Not even close to the same guy.

So his best moment in baseball was in an exhibition game, wonderful.


There has never been a more moronic statement made on tRant.


Ponder that.

Give me a holler when the world’s largest sports performance company builds their entire marketing program around your guy.

Ponder this, you said his best moment in baseball was in the all-star game. The all-star game is an exhibition. What did I write that was factually wrong?

You missed the point. I said Bo’s injury kept him from having much of a pro career. If you covered up the name and just looked at his stats, you would agree he didn’t do anything real special in either sport statistically.

Being the only man to ever be an All-Star in two major sports league isn't special enough for you?

1) Has nothing to do with stats;

2) His 1990 NFL Pro Bowl selection was a sham. He wasn’t even in the top 20 in rushing yards that season.

But he did lead all NFL running backs in yards per carry that season, by half a yard. He also had the longest run in the NFL that season.

The man walked in off the baseball diamond at midseason, and the raiders also had Marcus Allen who obviously demands carries too no matter who else is back there with him. But No still took half of a Hall of Famers carries from him when no was in off-season shape

Stats don't always tell the whole story, Bo was a game changer and a threat to score on any play from anywhere on the field.

Your attempts to downplay Bo Jackson's athletic achievements are shallow and laughable
