That doc was great, but it could have been just 90 minutes of the grainy clips of Bo doing ridiculous sports things and I still would have enjoyed it just as much. I may well go to my grave still believing Bo Jackson was the perfect athlete.

Not only did he dislocate it, he popped it back in as well. JESUS!
1. Bo Jackson. Even today, it hurts to remember that Bo had his career cut short well before he had a chance to win a title in either baseball or football. He was so entertaining that winning was almost beside the point, but still. He’s immortal to anyone my age who played Tecmo Bowl, but I’d love to have that…
The 1980s were fucking weird, man.
flights of fancy, i do believe.
I can’t fall asleep on planes because i know as soon as i do, someone’s gonna stick their fingers in my mouth.
I have to discount shameless homerism for this because otherwise I’d just pick a bunch of guys from my favorite team, like Joey Browner, Chris Doleman, John Randle, Randall McDaniel, Randy Moss (but not Cris Carter), and Miracle Year Randall Cunningham.
4. Nancy Kerrigan. Just seven weeks after getting kneecapped by Tonya Harding’s goons, Kerrigan went out and skated her off in Norway on one knee, only to get a silver medal for it. Silver! FUCK YOU, JUDGES. I didn’t see Oksana Baiul skating out there with half her LCL missing. NANCY WAS ROBBED. I want medals for her…
Oh, I think you could.
Their football teams could probably crush Jacksonville’s as well.
Brady: no to strawberries.
Yo Gabba Bortles?
Size queen...
Today is the day Florida boy becomes Florida man.
The momentum has been slowly building this offseason, I had never heard it before either. Maybe this post can Hannibal Buress-it into the greater consciousness.
I just now realized that Blaine Gabbert and Blake Bortles are two different people.
I had never heard of it before this. I love how there are like 5 different references to it, with specifics of where and what he drinks.
I enjoy how the Jacksonville installment in this series is always just as much “Why Your City Sucks” as “Why Your Team Sucks”. I could name 100 cities I want to visit in North America, and Jacksonville wouldn’t be any of them.
Can we get more on Bortles being a drunk? It’s only just started leaking into the more general football milieu, but it’s awesome and explains so much...
