Please Don’t Call Vincent Jackson “Bo.”
March 14th, 2012
When Bucs rock star general manager Mark Dominik landed a top-flight wide receiver seconds after the gun sounded opening the free agent frenzy, Bucs fans were almost giddy in unison over the first solid wide receiver aquisition since Chucky’s days.
But the signing of Vincent Jackson brought to mind not a celebration for Joey Johnston of the Tampa Tribune, but perhaps the worst moment in Bucs history.
@JJohnstonTrib: For 2nd time, Bucs acquired guy named Vincent Jackson. First time was 1986. 1st overall pick. Went by his nickname – “Bo”
Yup. That would be Bo Jackson. The worst moment in Bucs history was when then miserly owner Hugh Culverhouse (and Bucs fans call Team Glazer “cheap,” ha!) wouldn’t re-sign Doug Williams; the freefall was quick and swift.
Four years later Jackson, a true beast of a running back, stood up Culverhouse, as if Jackson was Tuna Parcells himself.
It took the Bucs a full decade to recover from that debacle.
So please, for Joe’s sake, don’t call Vincent Jackson “Bo.” Please.

possibly the best athlete ever outside of Deion Sanders. I saw deion sanders in high school once run back 5 punt returns against my high school in venice….it looked like a video game.

Man that Bo thing hurt bad for a longgggggggggggggg time.
He wouldnt even sign after Scott Brantley took him snook fishing.

Bucs land Carl Nicks, as expected. Agrees to terms for 5 yrs, $47.5M.

I think we should nickname him “Bo” as a slap to the real Bo.
:p
