Bo Don't Know...

[Jay Dub]

Back when Bo Jackson, one of the greatest athletes of all time, was playing pro sports, baseball (All Star team) and football (Pro Bowl), there was a commercial that showed him excelling in any sport he wanted to....except disc golf.
Someone with a marketing brain came up with the idea to make pins about that commercial. Going through some old stuff I found 2 of these.

edit to add: The saying in that commercial was "Bo knows (fill in the blank with any sport)"

The beginning to the end of his career was when Oakland played the Bengals. Some one tackled him from behind and the way he landed screwed up his hip which is why he had to stop playing pro sports.

The "Bo don't know" isn't a disc, if you meant that one. It's a pin about 1" diameter.

Thanks anyway. :thmbup:

They were on my bag. I think most people around here had one on their bag back when they came out, that bag isn't used anymore.
But yeah, I should pin it to my bag again.

Eric Heiden was the greatest 2 sport athlete! He competed in the Olympics against the best in the world. Bo don't know bikes. Or skates!!

The other one I have is yellow. Weren't a lot of choices back then.

Y'all are wrong. Bo knew. Give him a disc, teach him how to throw it, and I betcha he'll blow your mind.

I remember when he plaed for the White Sox. Furthermore, I remember seeing him break bats over his knee and head when he struck out!

He was great at Baseball!

He was amazing. Quite possibly the best running back I've ever seen for the one or two seasons before he got injured. He also had one of the best throws to the plate (up there with Mays) when he caught one deep in right in Seattle and threw a no-hop line drive to the plate to easily beat a stunned runner trying to tag up.

... and he thought of football as a "hobby" that he played in the baseball offseason.

Bo jackson is my favorite athlete of all time. He would of been the best athlete in the history of sports if he didnt blow out his hip. He was also a great role model. He wasnt tryin to be a gangsta like all these other athletes. G.O.A.T. (greatest of all time) in my eyes.
Bo could prolly throw a disc 700ft with no run up, but he would miss every putt lol

I was watching that game and saw him do that. Amazing!

I remember seeing a play that he did when he was on the Royals plaing against the White Sox. He caught the ball against the wall deep in left center field then threw out Robin Ventura at first for the double play....amazing!
