Who thought that was where this needed to be cut?

The problem is Gil Brandt timed him an not a electronic equipment. A human timing a 40 usually is 0.12 to 0.18 faster than electronic times.

Hayes does not have a documented 40 time just like Bo does not have a documented 40 time.

Bo did not stutter, it was just the "doppler effect".

He said Bull Jackson, not Bo Jackson. Turn on Closed Captions to verify that.

I ran a 4:2 in high school in a 40.
I should have pursued my football passion.
Oh well I’m to old now but the path I took owning JB Heating-Air & Refrigeration.
I can’t complain.

What a load of crap! Bo NEVER ran that fast. He simply wasn't that fast.
