Bo knows who Bo Jackson is… but evidently the contestants on the hit game show “Jeopardy” do not.

What would seem like a layup question even for the most casual of sports fans, stumped the contestants on the March 30 episode of “Jeopardy”. In their defense, Jackie Kelly of Cary, North Carolina, Candace Orsetti of Annapolis, Maryland, and Joey Lavarias of Greensboro, North Carolina have probably never watched a down of football, let alone Bo Jackson game film from the late 1980s.

Luckily the pension calculation developer, writer, and bassoonist, respectively, did not let it phase them. They would move right on to the next question without even a clue as to the level of sports heresy they had just committed.

Bo Jackson rose to fame in the early 80s when he was selected by the New York Yankees in the second round of the 1982 Major League Baseball draft. Instead, he made the choice to attend Auburn University on a football scholarship where he would go on to have one of the best collegiate careers in history, earning a Heisman Trophy in the process. Jackson would also play baseball for Auburn.

Jackson would have his collegiate baseball career cut short, as a visit from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers prior to the 1986 NFL draft made him ineligible to finish the season. Jackson claimed the Bucs did this to sabotage his baseball career and refused to sign with them after Tampa selected him first overall later that year. In lieu of playing football, Jackson would sign a three-year deal with the Kansas City Royals, and played baseball until being selected in the following year's NFL draft by the then Los Angeles Raiders whose owner, Al Davis, allowed Jackson to continue his baseball career simultaneously to his football career.

Bo Jackson's sports career would be cut short in 1991 after a dislocated hip ended his playing career.
