Chapter 2: What personal experiences does Bo Jackson share about his career?
We ain't talking about if we win or depend. We ain't talking about none of that. We ain't talking about, hey, my doctor found out that I got a lump in my breast, and I got breast cancer. We don't talk about that because it's taboo. Yes. We got to be the alpha male. Yes. We got to be that alpha dog, the strong person that's going to sit up and be on top of everything. Right.
We can't let somebody know that we got shit balls. So with us, we keep all that balled in. The only time we talk about it is when we're behind closed doors with that one doctor.
Yep.
Sometimes we don't go home and tell our family. Nope. No. Because our family look at us as being the leader, the top dog, and we want them to continue to do that.
But see, after my surgery, first thing I did, called buddies that I played with, that I went to high school with, got on a conference call with all my baseball teammates, talked to my teammates on the football team, talked to guys that I played against, guys I played with, and the pros on both baseball and football teams. Go get checked, man. Yes.
Because the thing that we could go out here and tackle a bear and knock him out. But we're afraid to go have that conversation with the doctor because we're afraid of what he's going to do. Results.
Yes.
I don't want to know. See? And that's it. You're hurting yourself and you're being selfish when it comes to your family. You're absolutely right. You're hurting yourself. Yep. You're hurting yourself. But the thing that I realize is that, shit, I'm Bo Jackson. If it could happen to me, can you imagine?
Now, after my surgery, you would not believe the number of ex-professional athletes have gone through what I just went through. Nobody knows. I had the same thing. Because I had dealt with it in 2016.

Chapter 3: How does Bo Jackson reflect on his health challenges?
And he was in the midst of all his national championships. And so I wasn't strong. So when I... I was ranked as one of the top 10 running backs in the state. And Tuscaloosa was only 30 minutes from my house. Auburn, two hours. And I didn't know where the hell Auburn was. But I know they were the two biggest schools. And I come home one day from a baseball game.
Walk in the front door, old white guy sitting at the table with him, drinking coffee, talking. It was their defensive coordinator, Ken Donahue. I spoke, went on the upstairs. He came downstairs, Vincent, my name's Coach Donahue. Coach Bryant would have come up to himself, but he had a family issue that he had to deal with. And so we talked.
And we were talking, and he was telling me how good Bama were and how good they're going to be and how Auburn had beat Bama since 1972. Wow. It's 1982. And then he said this. Before he said that, he said, look, we want you at Tuscaloosa. But personally, I don't think you'll get the opportunity to play until the end of your sophomore year. or the beginning of your junior season.
He said that to you in person?
Man, shoot me. And then he said this. Auburn hasn't beat Alabama since 1972, and they never lose. So he said, well, I'm going to let you finish doing your watching uniform because I know you got a game tomorrow. Vincent, it was nice talking to you. So I'm thinking, and I'm shaking his hand, and I'm smiling, but I'm saying like, Motherfucker, you think I'm going to sit on your bench for 10 years?
So by him saying, and they never will, I made sure. My freshman year. Was that ball over the top? I racked up 256 on it. As a freshman? As a freshman. Was that the ball over the top? And that long run down the sideline. Because that was fourth and goal. They ask you, they say, what you want? They say, coach, give me that play over the top.
No, we actually practiced that play where we were doing the three-on-three. Yeah. And the defense was tearing our ass up. We couldn't score. So I went over and said, Randy Campbell was what I called him back. And I called him Wormley because he wasn't what I'm about. Even with his pads on, ran about a buck eighty. With all his pads on.
I said, look man, I was a seven foot high jumper in high school. Which I was. I said, let's run a play for our goal. We ran that play three times straight. I scored all three times. So, Coach Dotson said, why don't we put that play in? And we put that play in, and he called it over the top. And I scored it. You've got a podcast. You just started a podcast, right?
I'm starting my podcast, Bold Knows Men's Health. So all of that stuff we just talked about, it's about getting we as men to open up about personal medical issues because we hold stuff in too long. We don't talk about it because we think that it denigrates us as a man. The more you talk about it, about it, the stronger it makes you. So I think it's one of my jobs.

Chapter 4: What insights does Bo Jackson provide about men's health?
And the defense also dictates what's happening. Because they can bracket you without even covering you. And close down the throwing lanes and the throwing gaps. And guess who has to pull the trigger? The quarterback. And if he's not comfortable with those small windows, he ain't throwing it your way. Ain't got nothing to do with the system. We had a conversation yesterday.
Ocho and I, we was having a conversation. Hopefully that answers your question. It's a little selfish on your part a little bit. It's a little selfish on the Cowboys fans' part as well because I'm looking at something else. Chad, you're looking at the right thing.
Chad, remember we had the conversation yesterday and I told Chase and Chase was trying to tell me X, Y, and Z. I said, well, number one, you never let how much you get in the ball or the situation dictate how hard you play. No. You play hard regardless of circumstances, whether I catch 10 balls or I catch one, I'm going to play hard. We've seen him drift.
Forget about anything that may or may not have happened in Pittsburgh, late for this, late for that, or whatever the case may be. But we've seen it firsthand that when he's not getting the ball, it became a national story because the head coach said, I had a conversation with George, and we can't let what happened at Thanksgiving against the Lions, we can't let that happen again.
So that's all I've ever seen. Here's what I'm going to say. What brand you got? What brand do you have? What brand do you have? What kind of football player were you? What kind of football player were you? That's it. That's your brand. What kind of football player am I? I don't have to talk about it. It goes in the room before I get there.
And at the end of the day, George has to ask himself, what do I want to send on the football field before I get there? I want people to be in the locker room or in their study room, and I want the offensive coordinator to come up and say, We got to stop the run this week. This 22 back here that they got, we can't let him get going.
Yes, sir.
Because if we let him get going, 88 going to kill us. Then Novacek going to get going. So we got to figure out a way. How are we going to do this? I want them to have a damn nightmare thinking about how they're going to stop us. Because at the end of the day, you can't hold everything back. And when you hold one back, now I understand why. Thank you for the respect. Yes, sir.
And all I'm saying, George has to develop that kind of It's not all about me. And that's the problem with a lot of kids today. They think everything is about them. And so I had, what I learned from Jimmy one day, I'm a rookie. We're having our two-minute drill on Thursday night. You have two-minute drill. And Jim is in charge of spotting the ball. He's the ref. Yeah.
