Knocking on how athletic baseball players are is laughable. There’s more to being an athlete than how fast you run and how high you jump. Coordination, balance, the ability to react are some of those qualities. Hitting a baseball is still the hardest thing to do in sports.
Good ghost thread to revive. You too must have seen this past weekend's feature profiling Bo. At least there have been some good things to see on tv.
The most cringy one was the Deion Sanders piece. I think I like him even less than I did before. Yikes
wow. so many nike shills and imbeciles. bj gets surpassed by numerous players in both games he played and doesn't even rank nationally in decathlon, so... he's the BeSt AtHłEtE ēVēr
couldawouldashoulda been whatever he wanted, he just needed to... he just didn't care... did it all but just.didn't.care... what if he put effort on.... and what if he focused... and the money... and people want autographs... and he weighs a lot...oh 10.39 wow...you're jealouzz...bj got dat dough! yeah boii! facts don't matter at all!

We said a lot of crazy stuff when he was at Auburn. We really never felt like he'd turned it loose. A lot of times, it looked like he was holding back, as far as making cuts and doing little things that we'd seen him do in high school.
"I don't know if Bo has ever played to his potential. That sounds crazy, a guy who's gone to L.A. and has gotten over 200 yards rushing in a game. But he only does what he has to do.”
That’s too bad. He should have given his best each and every day. Unbelievable athlete, and a lot of people looked up to him.

as an athlete- more than believable. not even the most athletic ballplayer, no competition to real athletes.
