On tonight at 9:00, I have been looking forward to this episode for months. Love most of the 30 for 30s I've seen and Bo was the reason I grew up a Raiders fan.

Damn shame this athlete's career was cut short due to injury......my favorite "Bo" highlight (besides Bo Derek of course) was Bo running over Brian Bosworth

Would love to have been able to see him play. Adrian Peterson is the closest thing we have today in terms of ability and even he isn't as big or as fast as Bo. Would have been interesting if he would have focused on one sport. Excelling in two sports is part of what makes him transcendent to this day, but it is crazy to think of how dominant he could have been if he focused on one thing.

SOmeone in that documentary made a great point.
If comes along a decade later and does what he does, we look at him totally different than we do now because there would likely be an assumed steroids taint on anything he accomplished.
Hadn't thought about it, but it is totaly true.
Would we look at someone who could do something like he did today and not assume he wasn't juicing his brains out to be that size, run that fast, and do things athletically that at times appeared to be not human?
