Bo Doesn't Know the Legal System

If you were to ask me who the greatest athlete I've ever seen in my lifetime is, I wouldn't have to think about it before answering. I'd simply say, Bo Jackson.

So it's pretty obvious that I have a ton of respect for the former two sport superstar, who suffered a hip injury that robbed us all of years of enjoyment. You may remember all those Bo Knows commercials, the ones that informed us that Bo knew everything.

Well, apparently there's one thing Bo knows nothing about, and that's the legal system.
I asked Bo to weigh in on the recent indictment of baseball's Barry Bonds for perjury and obstruction of justice regarding the use of steroids.

"The steroid issue is out of my league because I barely watch baseball anymore," said Jackson. "But I will support Barry until someone or something proves he is guilty. Personally, I don't think he has done anything illegal."
Well, Bo, he has. For some reason the federal government doesn't take too kindly when you lie to a grand jury, and generally they don't indict somebody until they already know he's guilty.
