Well he actually challenged 2k to buy the license and then try to make a game. Which is a little different.

It implies that the license is for sale, though, and to someone other than EA. Hence, not exclusive.

Following the CFL game with the sad version of Ochocinco and the normal version of Troy Smith I'd advise watching the Bo 30 for 30 if you haven't seen it. Up until the point where he gets hurt, then turn it off because it's all sad (even though Bo seems really happy now, so good for him).

Chuck Klosterman's incredulity at the urban legend of childhood Bo dunking a stick is an all-time 30 for 30 highlight.

Plus it's not like EA couldn't/wouldn't outbid 2K for the license. It's like Bill Gates daring me to win those yoga lessons at the silent auction we're at.

"Okay Richard, this'll be easy, just do what you do when you're guarding a receiver. Like in football, Richard. No, like, when you're trying to keep them from catching the ball. Just act natural, Rich. Like you do on the field. Pretend there's a receiver in front of you and you wanna stop em-GGRRRR. You know what we've got it, thank you, Richard."

I actually like the parts about what he's doing now. Bo just hangs out in the middle of nowhere makin' arrows and shootin' stuff with arrows and is totally content with how his life turned out. It's cool.

I remember when I was a kid Bo was on local TV talking about something he'd done in a game and said something like "yeah I'm just really good at that" or something to that effect. My mom had been teaching me not to brag about stuff recently and I asked her "isn't that bragging?" and she thought about it for a while and then said "no, I don't think it is bragging when you're just telling people how it is". I think she was right. Bo was incredibly unimpressed with himself, he just told it how it is.

I'll offer this as a counterexample.

After the game where he threw Harold Reynolds out at the plate from the wall all the reporters were trying to get him to talk about what it felt like to be superhuman and he was just like "I picked up the ball and I threw it home; it's not a big deal". In his mind this wasn't a big deal, it's just what you did in those situations.

I thought akili smith died in a grease fire.

quote:

Former Bengals megabust Akili Smith says Johnny Manziel's behavior reminds him of himself.

Smith admits he was a heavy drinker who made regular trips to Vegas during his playing days, and "focused on partying first and everything else second." "Yeah, it's written all over the wall with some of the things he's doing in the offseason, going to Vegas and all that stuff," Smith said of Manziel. "He needs to put all that type of stuff to the side right now and focus on his career." Manziel can shut up his detractors by beating out Brian Hoyer and playing well on Sundays. If he doesn't, concerns about his flashy lifestyle will grow louder.

I work with a Newfie who had never heard of Bo Jackson. When we started telling all the stories (running up the wall, breaking bats, hosing runners at the plate on a line from the track, all of his football runs) he thought we telling a tall tale. Like he was a sports version of Bill Brasky. Then we made him watch the 30 for 30. It's all he talked about for the next week.

The best is the press conference when he said during the baseball offseason that he was going to be playing with the Raiders as a hobby. No different than hunting, fishing, whatever everyone else does. He was gonna play football. It's just so absurd that a human being would be saying that. I can't think of anyone who could say that wouldn't make me roll my eyes and root for them to fail, but with him it's like welp. Bo is taking up football.
