Episode 131: Bo Jackson with Jeff Pearlman

Jim is joined by New York Times bestselling author Jeff Pearlman to break down the Hall of Fame candidacy of former NFL running back and MLB outfielder Bo Jackson. First, Jeff and Jim discuss Bo Jackson's legendary 221-yard rushing performance on Monday Night Football against the Seattle Seahawks in 1987 (17:41). Next, Jeff compares Bo Jackson to both Jim Brown and Shawn Green (100% the first and only time those two athletes are brought up at the same time) and discuss if Bo could have made it into Cooperstown if he would have been able to stay healthy and committed himself to baseball (23:16). Finally, Jeff and Jim both build their own Mount Rushmore composed of who they consider to be the best athletes in sports history (27:31).
