Did you hat the Boz? I hated that guy. The ending is great.

Question for my fellow Boomers and GEN X's

I hated the guy back in the day. Love him now as the Sheriff.
I was watching that Monday Night game where Bo ran him over. Justice was served that day.
Probably flagged for excessive violence
I didn't like him then, mostly because everyone my age was trying to rock that hair. For as much crap is talked about bo vs boz on Mnf, every time I see it, it gets less and less like getting "plowed over".
This was an alright skit though to finish up, and I don't like any manning.

The Boz took a lot of shitover that play.. but it's possible to still be a really good player while give up 3 yards making a one-on-one tackle against maybe the best running back in history.
And another thing, the financial injection this classic would have given Jackson if they were just willing to part with a couple of trees would have cured all the ills that city has ever experienced.
Jackson could have been Atlanta.***
ESPN has a 30 for 30 called “Brian and the Boz” where he’s really repentant about the stuff from his teens and 20’s.
The fact he got run over by a HOF’er wasn’t the issue. It was the fact a shitt-talking rookie bragged about shutting Bo down before the game and got trucked.
I couldn’t stand him but respected him when he reflected on his career and accepted the mistakes he made.
And I didn't know that until last year (No not 2024, as in the Arnett Football season). Thanks, SPS.
A big part of the "Brian and The Boz" documentary was him going through an old storage unit and looking at old magazines and pictures. His son would look at an old picture of Boz wearing some shirt with some wild message on it and say something like "that's awesome" and Boz would say something like "That's just an idiot spouting nonsense".
Couldn't stand him in college, seldom saw him in the pros, haven't seen him since so yeah still can't stand him.
Every great player has ended up on the wrong side of someone else's great play. Boz was the type of player I was brought up to hate, but there's no denying the talent.
Didn't like him then. But, he was ahead of the game. Turns out personal branding and self-promotion are legit avenues to riches with or without talent.
