- I just read this thread and I think some of you guys have come off your meds. And I mean that in the nicest possible way , just in case .:wink: By the way , when is the next group session? You are still working with plastic sporkes only , right? No one here with a last name of Tyson or Artest I hope. If so , I want you to know that I take responsibilty for typing out this post under my son in law's post name. And you should know that I am one mean a** mother that you wouldn't want to meet in a dark ally. During a full moon.
- What made me read this thing to begin was the mention of Bo. The best overall athlete since Jim Thorpe. If you were too young...find some film , look for it on ESPN Classic , just find it. I loved the idea of the thread because it is a good question: What became of Bo? The reason why it fits on here , why it's such a good question , why it's relative is that it isn't about "What became of Andra Franklin?" Bo was a true freak not because of hype ( and there was hype ) , it was because of the performances that he produced that would be greater than the hype. Think of Deion Sanders , but bigger , faster , more powerful and more awesome. Ever hear of "The Boz"? No? There's a reason for that. Bo ran his a** over to go into the endzone. That was after he took his first pro pitchout and went 90 yards....untouched. All pro football , All Star baseball. Cut short due to injury. Bo went home , got his degree, raised his kids with his wife , overcame a speech impediment to become a public speaker and became ( to the best of my knowledge) a decent man.
- One last thing on Bo. Harold Reynolds , who is on ESPN's Baseball show was thrown out by Bo at the plate. On the fly. From the warning track. Trust me it's on film.
