Bo Jackson is so awesome that a 20-year old video character of Bo now has a shoe line.

Sans the hip injury, he could have been the greatest on the field too.

Tecmo Bo was money on the sweep play.

It's the only play in the game for him.  There were only four plays you could select.  Two were passes. One was Bo. The other was Marcus Allen. 

Yeah.  I played it a lot. 

We used to have Tecmo Bowl tournaments.  I was the Raiders every time.  I won them all.

Tecmo Super Bowl may be the finest football game ever made.

Terrorists shut Nike HQ

AP --  Nike headquarters was closed today due to a terrorist threat. 

Nineteen stumblebums wearing t-shirts with the sleeves cut out and trucker hats, all of whom were sporting mullets and tobacco stained teeth rushed the building early this morning. 

Police negotiators are on the scene. They brought in a translator to deal with the terrorist leader. 

The following is an excerpt from their communication.

Translator:  What are your demands.

Terrorist: Uhhh, ya'll gots any brew? Meunda boyz izza teench dry.  Anna coupla kinsa skoal mebbe?

Translator (to negotiator):  **Umm, I believe they want some beer and perhaps a tin of chewing tobacco?**

Translator: Okay, gentlemen.  We'll start working on that right away.  Would a six pack of Samuel Adams suffice?

Terrorist: Hayull no, dipstick. Casea natty, dammit.

Translator: Ok. Understood.  While we're getting this handled for you, can you tell us what it is you want from Nike.

Terrorist: Dem bassids keep suckin' up tooda fukken Aubies widdis Bo Jaskon bullsheyat. Hows about dem fukkers make up a shoe for the rightly fukken KANG of football?  Huh? Why come dere ain't no BAHR BRYUNT (praise be to BAHR) goldamm shoes? Where's the fukken HOUNDSTOOTH tennis shoe motherFUKKER? 

Translator (to negotiator):  ** They say they're going to kill all the hostages and then have sex with the dead bodies. They also say cops are stupid queers.  And that Ronald Reagan was a puss. **

Negotiator: Forget the tear gas, boys.  Put up the rubber bullets.  We're going in locked and loaded.  Take 'em down.


SWAT teams just entered the building, there were gunshots and from the street we can hear noises that sound like pigs squealing.

More as it develops.

I miss those days, run to the top of the screen and then back to the bottom! That was some kick ass strategy. I would play with the Giants, run Phil Simms back to the 20 and throw an 80 yard pass for a touchdown. Lawrence Taylor was unstoppable coming off the corner.

If they would introduce these shoes at $20 a pop, I think they would not be able to keep production up and a pair of Bos would be on every foot in America. Maybe internationally too. I know they tried this with some basketball guy (see. You don't even remember his name), but everybody knows Bo. In this economy, NIKE would become the only player in the game.

Five statements of WISDOM
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, by legislating the wealth out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friends, is the beginning of the end of any nation.
