Bo Jackson Knows How To Break Bats...Does Dave? | Letterman

The man. The myth. The legend. Bo Jackson.

The hip is made with attitude…

God Bless you Bo

what a gentleman bo was and is!!! his mamma raised him right! for someone so gifted and genuinely legendary he is super humble and not so caught up with fame or anything celebrity 🙏

Kids today will never understand just how AMAZING that man is. Bo Knows dominance

No doubt the greatest athlete to have ever lived. Prime is close as well, but Bo is the GOAT

BO MY 1st FAVORITE MLB/NFL PLAYER… STAYED HUMBLE AND YET HE WAS A POWERFUL BALLPLAYER

Bo is a class act, family man, and so modest. A true GOAT.

Bo knows how to stay humble. What a legendary human being!!

They wasted adamantium on Wolverine, should have saved it for Bo’s hip.

I truly feel lucky to have been born in time to watch him play and have his posters on my wall growing up.

We will never see another athlete with so many gifts

Top shelf

Bo is a genuinely nice guy..

What could have been? I still remember that long touchdown run for the Raiders when he turned the corner when the defensive player had the angle. Only Bo could have done that.

Bo is a legend for good reason. And it's clear that Dave Letterman was totally impressed and appreciative of Bo. It was rare for Letterman to be like that without a single sarcastic remark or hint of joking at the guest's expense.

Bo knows! Great athlete! He is actually pretty funny.

Had my hip replaced last March and was walking 3 days later unaided. My doctor told me to go back to playing pickleball in July. I went back on Memorial Day. I think the surgery has come a long way since 1994. I am 64 years old and have no problem whatsoever. But I never had to turn on a 95 MPH fastball either. Bo would have the "official" record for ypc which I believe was 5.5 but he did not have enough carries to qualify. Jim Brown is the official record holder at 5.2.

Pure Class💯

The greatest Auburn athlete. War Damn 🦅

It's crazy that this man played two professional sports and even though he didn't play a long time in Football he made impact in both sports. And on a side note I have a you tube channel type in Russell Mills May 22, 2017 to find me.

Imagine not being in the hall of fame because you were injured? Crazy thing about it was he was too tough for his own good. He would have be okay had he just saw a dr and maybe gotten a x-ray. The man averaged 5.4-5.5 yards per carry. Could knock a baseball over 500 feet with ease. Could throw you out at home plate from left field with just his arm. Run across a wall, fly up a wall to make what would have been a home run. Break multiple tackles and run 90 yards for a touchdown on multiple occasions. Again i say, why isn't VEJ, in the baseball and football HOF? That's crazy! HOF athletes talk of how great Bo was at his crafts.

At a new year party we were discussing sports and I said Bo is the greatest baseball/football player ever! My friend said no! Bo was the best athlete to ever play the game.

Man, as good as he was...imagine how much more could have been without that injury vs Bengals in the playoffs.

White sox should have signed him during the 93 off season. 😕

Sweetheart of a guy by all accounts and a freak of nature.

Plot twist: the hood is made out of more hip another hip if you will

I still have his baseball card

I love Bo so much!!! Pure class act!!

Such a professional, truly someone inspiring

I've never seen someone who is muscle from top to bottom. He could play any sport he wanted to at any time.

The greatest athlete of the 20th century. 👍

Man this channel is great, like a time machine!!!!! Thank Dave!!!!!

Still the only athlete I’ve idolized. My boyhood bedroom had a lot of Bo swag

Bo Jackson was amazing! I feel like we didn't appreciate his accomplishments when he was playing.

Bo knows the Late Show

What an athlete and seems like a genuinely nice guy

The hip is made of titanium.

I have an artificial hip and it's made of titanium with ceramic ball and cup.

🍄

I was hoping to see Bo break his bat too.

Named my great horse after him! Bo Knows Whoa!!! Awesome fellas❤️

I think that that bat was already broken when Dave snapped it over his knee. Maybe.......

BO

explain to the folks at home who bo jackson is

Better than Deion

Rare to see dave genuinely admire someone.

Bo Jackson, such a terrific person!!!!!

That was great seeing Bo on Letterman. What a class act. I didn't know he was actually thinking about retiring from football so that softens the blow that injury had on me. For me that was the greatest sports tragedy in my life. His story is so inspiring.

I loved Bo. I had all his Rookie Cards

I was a kid in KC when Bo played for the Royals and the entire city worshipped him. My 6th grade teacher put up the Black and Blue poster. I remember in 7th grade our American history teacher rolled the TV into class just so we could watch his appearance on Donahue. I read anything and everything written about him. It's too bad the hip injury stunted his career so much.

O’HARE CHI!!
