My case for Bo Jackson's entry into the NFL Hall Of Fame
Bo Jackson - Tecmo Super Bowl Run
As much as I love the new High Definition multimedia virtual football experience that is Madden 2007, there is no finer example of video game football than Tecmo Super Bowl. In this game the feature back on the L.A. Raiders was Bo Jackson. In real life Bo only played in 38 games over 4 seasons and in those 38 games he scored a total of 18 touchdowns which would not in anyway qualify him for the Hall Of Fame. In videogame land he was the best running back ever. (yes, even better than Emmit Smith in the Genesis version of Madden 95) The only only real world stat that would explain how much credit the programmers gave Bo was his 6.8 yards per carry he averaged his rookie year. For perspective LaDainian Tomlinson is averaging 5.2 this season, and he can't even hit a curve ball.
