Bo Knows Banks?


Over two decades after the legendary marketing campaign that promoted multi-sport athlete Bo Jackson's ability to 'Know Everything' it appears the former NFL and MLB player really may know more than the advertisements gave him credit.

"Bo knows football!"
"Bo knows baseball!"
"Bo knows tennis!"
"Bo knows cycling!"
"Bo even knows cricket!"

This was some of the promotional knowledge attributed to this athletic great, but as of recent we can add another....

"Bo knows banking!"

Yes, it appears the seemingly superhuman Bo Jackson now knows banking. These days you can find the 48 year old Jackson in the Chicago suburbs director of the Burr Ridge Bank & Trust. Further research indicates this is not the first time he's been involved in the banking industry as he worked as a bank teller during his days at Auburn. "I can't go tomorrow and run the financial district...But you learn something every meeting," Jackson stated.

Jackson ended his professional sports career as a Chicago White Sox and apparently hasn't looked back since, exploring acting and many other ventures before his recent involvement into the banking industry. Since, Bo Jackson has been known as a devoted family man spending time with his wife and three adult children. For someone so prominently covered by the media it's amazing that he's never had trouble with the law or been caught in any scandals which is a testament to his character. Perhaps, something the banking industry now desperately needs.

Perhaps now, we can say..."Bo Really Does Know Banking!" And can expect him to have success with it.
