boo, what was the name of that lineman for detroit who nearly died on the playing field due to a neck injury.

Add Mike Irvin to the list. May not like him, but he was a heck of a player.

 

[PanthersReturn]

Piper, I think it was Mike Utley.

 

[Piper]

That was terrible to watch.

 

[BearBryant]

Bo Jackson getting hurt was the best thing that ever happened for Michael Jordan. Jackson could have been what Jordon is today.

 

[Piper]

Bo was great. He was what Deon wanted to be, except Bo was actually a good baseball player before that hip surgery.
