Hey, I'll get in touch with you later this week about watching the game on Saturday...I was in Houston when you called last week.

He was a great College player, and may have been a good pro player too if not for his shoulder problems.

Think Urhlacher only 15 years earlier.

Pro...

I mean, He got ran over by Bo Jackson, who is arguably the greatest athlete ever. But who didn't. I just wonder how good he really was when you take that away.

He was a stud in college but may have been more of a product of the system. I definately would not compare him to Ulacher. I'd consider him more of a more athletic Rocky Calmus.

his pro career was somewhat unproven, due to injury...i think he was a lot more hype than substance, but I'm a UT fan, so take that however you'd like. He was a master of self-promotion.

considering the amount of 'roids he was almost certainly on, I'd say his career was equal parts substance and hype.

Rm95. . . it's all good. since I didn't have anyone else to talk to, I just hit on a new waitress. and she hit back. so we'll see how it all goes down this weekend.

Brian Urlacher is closer to Lawrence Taylor than Brian Bosworth. Bosworth never had the kind of all-world speed to be a dominant pro player. One of the five worst haircuts in sports, too.

I can't name four that are worse. Maybe Renaldo's?

Remember that lightweight boxer named Paez? I think he was a former circus clown. He looked like a little ratboy.

The Boz was a very good college player, and mediocre at the Pro level at best.

Injuries did cut his career short, but they also cut short Bo Jackson's, and Bo just absolutly DROVE the Boz on the play that everyone remembers.

Bo Jackson, in my opinion, is the best athlete of my lifetime.

my friend and I had an interesting conversation the other day about whether Michael Jordan's hype would've been able to escalate as high as it did IF bo jackson had been able to carry out his career healthily.

bo jackson invented the crosstrainer. sort of.

fool hit a home run in the baseball all-star game.

bo was breathtakingly good.
