July 12, 200520 yr Author I can't think of his name, but he was the sports guy on NBC 5 a few years back, now he is on like celebrity insider or one of those stupid ass shows

John Kelly -- Played football (DB I think) at Nebraska - Was Channel 5 sports guy - Then went to NY for year - then went national like on a Cable sports station somewhere -- Then sold his soul to the devil and he's currently working with that other hack Mark McGrath on that crapass OMG Britney is Preggers and TOMKAT broke up show.

July 12, 200520 yr Is it me your thinking off? I'm not sure if he was sport a Sox cap, but the plumber from Desperate Housewives was a White Sox fan. The other White Sox supporter was catching for Americans for the first half of the game. Didn't catch his name though.

BO KNOWS! I still fondly remember Bo Jackson. Another one of the crew from the early 90's that made the Sox really special to watch.
July 12, 200520 yr I have no memories of Bo Jackson.... I saw some of his football games in highlight reels but no baseball...... and from all acconts ive missed on one hell of an athlete and person.

Maybe one of the greatest athletes to ever play the game. His injury destroyed "what could have been" Powerful as Frank Fast like Ichiro A cannon for a arm like Vlad I remember a game in 93 when a player hit a bullet down the RF line into the corner. He tried to strecth it into a triple. Bo nailed him from the corner in RF on a frozen line-drive throw to Robin Ventura at 3rd. The ball never touched the ground.

He was the fastest man in the football draft when he came out He was a huge back He would have broke all kinds of records in football Is he the only player to play in an all-star game in both football and baseball at the major league levels? Best athlete I have ever seen, hands down. No one even comes close.
July 12, 200520 yr Author QUOTE(tonyho7476 @ Jul 12, 2005 -> 12:58 PM) Bo knows Sox baseball! Damn I had that poster when I was little.....oh the memories.....Bo was one of the reason i stand on the southside today
July 12, 200520 yr John Kelly was a huge Chicago Sports fan while he did the sports for Channel 5. It was nice to see him wear a Sox hat. Someone else said he is on Extra now, guess he moved up in the world.
July 12, 200520 yr That was great and so was the time where he caught the ball full stride and continued to run up the wall. Didn't that happen in the All Star game that Bo homered off of Rick Rueschel. I think he won the ASG MVP ...maybe 1989?
July 12, 200520 yr The guy played 108 games in Chicago and goes down as one of the most beloved Sox of all time. That's a good place to start.

July 12, 200520 yr QUOTE(DABearSoX @ Jul 12, 2005 -> 09:12 AM) 108 games, thats why i was surprised he was wearing a sox hat His injury is such a shame. The guy would have been one of the all-time greats, would make today's players look like bush league.
July 12, 200520 yr Doesn't Bo come to Sox spring training still to be a guest instructor sometimes though? I think he has more continuing ties with us than the Royals. Also, I know Jose Canseco is not the most looked up to guy, but he speaks very highly of Bo Jackson in his book. He talks about how amazed he was with Bo because he was the only guy in baseball bigger and faster than Jose.

July 12, 200520 yr Bo's employed by the Sox from Feb to April. Mainly hitting help. He also does the Fantasy Camp.
