ESPN Films 30 For 30

Some of the best television on TV for sure. I have yet to watch a episode that didnt move me. Too many to list.

My personal favs were Gretzky's, Ricky Williams, Pablo Escobar, and Chris Herring's.

The USFL one was good also.... like I said, too many to list.

You got a link to a preview of the Bo Jackson episode?

As a college football fan, the episode on The "U" was pretty awesome...

"U" was good. So was "The Best That Never Was".

I haven't watched one that I really didn't like. I liked the Marinovich project, and the one on Ricky Williams, the two Escobars, and the one on Vlade Divac and Drazen Petrovic. Great T.V.!

I liked the one on the Pony Excess (SMU). Also like the one on Marcus Dupree.

The Bo Jackson show was very good.

Bo may be the closest thing to Superman we see for a long time!

Just finished "You Don't Know Bo".

It was awesome.

Not only that... but in today's sports, a guy with Bo's physique is all too common due to most players workout routines.

Sure, guys worked out back then, but the demands of the job arent what they are today. EVERYONE is huge nowadays. Back then, if you were that big and lean, it was usually more due to natural "gifts". So the gap between the monsters like Bo and the average player were a lot bigger.

These days with modern supplements and training, the margins are so small. Anyone with the right determination can drastically change their body.

But yeah, nobody is going to ever be 225 of solid muscle that can run a 4.12 and also slam home runs. Hands down the greatest athlete we will ever see in our lifetime.

For those of us who remember, when the whole "Bo Knows" campaign was going on, he was Nike's first choice to be their marquee athlete to build around. Michael Jordan was #2. MJ was a co-star in Bo's commercials, not the other way around. When Bo got hurt that opened the door for MJ to become what he became thanks to Nike's marketing machine.

Im not trying to take anything away from MJ, because he's my all-time favorite player. But rather, illustrate just how big of a deal Bo really was for that brief time and maybe what shoulda/coulda been. The documentary was entertaining but I think it coulda touched on his Nike relationship a bit more, especially in comparison to MJ to help drive it's point home.
