ALAMEDA, Calif. -- Images, really, and did-he-really-do-that-type memories are all that remain of Vincent Edward “Bo” Jackson’s star-crossed four-year tenure with the Raiders when they called Los Angeles home.
Bo knew how to run over another celebrated rookie, Brian Bosworth, on the goal line on Nov. 30, 1987.
Bo knew how to speed down the Seattle Kingdome left sideline in that same Monday Night Football game for a breathtaking 91-yard touchdown before disappearing into a tunnel.
Bo knew that football was merely a “hobby,” something for him to do after the baseball season was done with the Kansas City Royals.
