Bo Jackson Talks Wild NFL Stories, Beers In Royals Clubhouse & Athletic Career

from Green Light with Chris Long · host Chris Long

This isn't the first time Bo Jackson has talked with Chris Long. Bo was teammates with Howie Long with the Los Angeles Raiders and Bo tells Chris that Howie was Bo's alarm clock before NFL games. Bo would take a nap before kickoff and Howie would come by right before the team ran onto the field and wake him up, saying 'it's time to go.' Bo revealed plenty of other tremendous stories from his NFL and MLB careers. He tells Chris about the time the White Sox plane caught on fire in the air. Bo would sometimes have a beer in the clubhouse during Royals games to break out of slumps. And of course Bo talks about his Auburn career, spurning Alabama and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers because of his principles and opens up about his new podcast that sheds light on mens health. Enjoy the episode and the amazing stories from one of best athletes in professional sports history.
