Vincent Edward "Bo" Jackson (born November 30, 1962) is an American former baseball and football player. He is the only athlete to be named an All-Star in two major sports.
While at Auburn University, Jackson won the 1985 Heisman Trophy, annually awarded to the most outstanding collegiate football player in the United States.
In 1989 and 1990, Jackson's name became known beyond just sports fans through the "Bo Knows" advertising campaign, a series of advertisements by Nike, starring Jackson alongside Rock and Roll Hall of Fame musician Bo Diddley, promoting a cross-training athletic shoe named for Jackson.
After a 1991 hip injury on the field ended his football career, Jackson focused on baseball, and expanded into other pursuits, including the completion of his Bachelor of Science degree in Family and Child Development at Auburn. In addition, Jackson appeared in small roles as an actor, in TV shows such as The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and Married... with Children, and films such as The Chamber.
Fox Sports is the programming division of the Fox Broadcasting Company, owned by 21st Century Fox, that is responsible for sports broadcasts on the network, and its dedicated regional and national sports cable channels. The flagship entity of 21st Century Fox's Fox Sports Media Group division, it was formed in 1994 with Fox's acquisition of broadcast rights to National Football League (NFL) games. In subsequent years, it has televised the National Hockey League (1994–1999), Major League Baseball (1996–present), NASCAR (2001–present), Bowl Championship Series (2007–2010), the USGA Championships (2015–present), and the FIFA World Cup (starting in 2018).
When the Fox Broadcasting Company launched in October 1986, the network's management, having seen how sports programming (in particular, soccer events) played a critical role in the growth of the British satellite service BSkyB, determined that sports would be the type of programming that would ascend Fox to a major network status the quickest; as a result, Fox tried to attract a professional football package to the network. In 1987, after ABC initially hedged on renewing its contract with the National Football League (NFL) for the television rights to Monday Night Football, Fox made an offer for the package at the same price that ABC had been paying at the time – about $13 million per game. However, partly due to the fact that Fox had yet to establish itself as a major network, the NFL decided to resume negotiations with ABC, with the two parties eventually agreeing to a new contract, keeping what was the crown jewel of the league's television broadcasts on that network (where it remained until 2006, when MNF moved to sister network ESPN as part of a contract that also saw NBC gain the Sunday Night Football package).

ESPN Sports Science host John Brenkus talks to "The World's Greatest Ever Athlete" Bo Jackson on his career, training and work ethic.
Back in The mid '80's thru mid '90's, I lived in Kansas City and was a HUGE Bo Jackson fan. I used to tape everything I could that was aired about him on my old VCR. I'm not sure why, but I've saved these tapes for the last 25 years (Damn, has it really been that long!?!). I recently cleaned out a storage shed and found boxes and boxes of old video tapes and over the next several months, I will upload some of the "Bo" footage here. Thanks for all of the great memories Bo....you truly were a one man highlight reel. For me, both the Kansas City Royals and Major League Baseball have been boring ever since he left the game. This Show originally aired in 1989 and Bo talks about the media's reaction to his deciding to play both Major League Baseball and professional football.
Bo was definitely a human highlight film.
