."He didn't run through the end zone and into the tunnel to show off," Raiders left tackle Brian Holloway said recently. "He traveled at such velocity it took him 50 yards to slow down."
The article I read was based on a recent biography "The last American folk hero". Thinking that's the kind of thing it alludes to
.The title of Pearlman’s book is “The Last Folk Hero,” and there’s real truth in that. A folk hero doesn’t arrive by social media snippets or brand-driven marketing campaigns. A folk hero’s legend isn’t built on likes, faves and retweets. A folk hero takes up space in your head when you hear of his legendary exploits, but there’s no video to disprove them, only the words of those who were there: Yep, it happened. Never seen anything like it before or since

What would have happened if he had scored in the other end zone that didn't have the tunnel? Ahead on collision with the stands breaking everybody in his body. LOL thank you

I feel sorry for the younger generation that didn't get to see Bo play. If he wasn't the greatest athlete of all time, I don't know who is. He was on a whole different level in MULTIPLE SPORTS. He was so good he put Marcus Allen on the bench.

and does anybody else remember playing Tecmo Super Bowl?? Nobody was allowed to use the Raiders because you couldn't tackle Bo haha
