I watch the All-Star game every year. I always hope it’s gonna be like that one where Bo Jackson hits the homer, and then Wade Boggs homers right after that. I remember that one like it was yesterday. My uncle jack was there. Bo Jackson was a badass. And he had the best shoe. Many people don’t realize he invented those cross trainers himself. Then he got fat, and tried to sell power bars. He also ran over Brian Bosworth, which was one of the greatest things that has ever happened ever. Wade Boggs was a cheeseball. I hate him. One thing that you find out when you get older is that all the guys who wore cheesy mustaches in the 80’s really were cheeseballs. They weren’t just victims of the time. Mike Schmidt is another example. I’m sure Tom Selek is a dope too. And I think Burt Reynolds’ cheesiness is well documented from his time on Win, Lose or Draw. Maybe it’s not the mustaches though. Maybe it’s the matching gold chain. Or maybe it’s a convertable thing. I will never know, because I’m too busy with other stuff. Like cooking food and drinking beer and watching basball players in their tight pants.
Bo Jackson was huge. Hell, he was even known over here at his peak – and he played 2 sports that most Brits barely know exist.
I think I remember seeing a “Bo Knows Cricket” commercial back in the day . . .
BTW, the Bandit’s black & gold 1977 Pontiac Firebird Trans-Am SE was a t-top, not a convertible. T-tops were way cheesier.
Well said.
I certainly remember a “Bo knows football” commercial, which of course featured some amusing confusion over the word “Football”.
I just watched Smokey and the Bandit – was on some cable channel, caught it as I was flicking through and left it on. I’d forgotten just how many redneck stereotypes they’d packed into one film!
