I wonder if "The Last Dance" has become a turning point, where athletes now expect to have input and final authority on books/films about their lives. (And presumably a cut of the money).

"An important thing to add and emphasize: All four bookstore owners told Bo Jackson to fuck off." LOVE to hear that.

Jeff, I absolutely devoured the Bo book. You and I are the same age and I feel about him like you do. I also feel like his trying to ban you in Alabama was totally on character. There were so many moments in the book where the only word I could find to describe him was small. Odd for such a huge figure (literally AND figuratively). He has a history of going out of his way to be a dick to anyone he feels has slighted him, even in the most pedestrian way. No chance Bo could rise above your book because, really, he never rose above much. Thanks for the book and the Yang Yang.
