Today is Bo Jackson’s 49th birthday, so I thought I’d watch a Bo Jackson video and then I watched about 10. The first video shocked me because I’m never ready for how big he is or how fast. And he was both.

Here are some videos and articles including football Bo, baseball Bo, Letterman Bo, Sesame St Bo, ect. The articles are interspersed with the videos. Make sure to watch the Tecmo Bo.
