Bo knows but apparently, not everyone knows Bo. Bo Jackson has long been out of the NFL and MLB, but the former two-sport star is still widely viewed as an absolute legend and among the most popular athletes to have ever played professionally. That being said, there remains a section in the population who have no idea who he is — or at least couldn't deduce even with clues who Bo Jackson is. Just take for example the three contestants who recently appeared on Jeopardy.

There is still just one human being in the history of planet Earth who's managed to win the Heisman Trophy and be named to an All-Star roster in the MLB, and that's no other than Jackson. But the same contestants whiffed and went crickets despite the giveaway clues that included “Auburn.” Who else could it be?

Jackson is a sport, though, and certainly took no offense. Not everyone knows everything after all just as not all athletes can excel in two sports so much to become an All-Star in football and baseball just like Jackson, who was a 1990 Pro Bowler in the NFL and was an All-Star in the majors in 1989. He played for the Raiders from 1987 to 1990 and suited up for the Kansas City Royals, Chicago White Sox, and the California Angels.
