Bo Can Live Without Bobsleds
- Share via
With nothing to occupy his time between football and baseball seasons, one of Willie Gault’s Raider teammates--guess which one--wrote in his recently published autobiography that he intends to try bobsledding.
In “Bo Knows Bo,” Bo Jackson wrote: “I can fit it in between the Super Bowl and spring training. I think, with my speed and strength, I could be the best bobsled pusher ever. I think my team could be the first ever to get a speeding ticket. And I love speed.”
But when asked about bobsledding at a news conference this month, Jackson didn’t seem in such a big hurry.
“Be serious,” he said. “There’s something about ice and blades. It’s like gasoline and water. It doesn’t mix with me.”
Perhaps he meant oil and water.
Bo doesn’t know cliches.
