I never thought Bo Jackson was all that great. I think a lot of the hype around him was because he played two sports. I suppose one could make the comparison as far as athletic ability but as far as football goes, I think Purple Jesus takes a shit on Bo Jackson.

The best two sports athlete in recent history is still Deon Sanders.  If AP doesn't get the MVP award on Saturday February 2nd its going to be one of the biggest snubs ever.

Yeah, I would give that Deion, especially in football. His name is synonomous with "lock down corner" and brought up in greatest of all time convos. Bo's is not. I'm not hating on Bo though, I recognize he was an amazing and rare athlete. I just never felt the hype when all that "Bo Knows" bullshit was going on back in the day. And I surely don't feel like he can compete with Peterson when it comes to football.
