Jon, you captured the power of that moment so well in this video. The footage of him covering his face after being told the distance brings tears to my eyes.

If they are playing even worse than before, God help them, because the best I can do for them then is give stats, sit back and shut my mouth.

This quote hurts. Injuries are one of, if not the most difficult part of any sport. As a hockey fan, I am no stranger to injuries taking out players, but unlike with sanders, usually they are able to finish their careers. It pains me to hear that Sanders career was cut short. He could have revolutionized even more so the defensive part of football had he been able to finish. Hats of for him even being able to make it as a smaller player in a role dominated by bigger players. Now, at least he will be immortalized for what he did.

The Bob Beamon story had me actually crying by the end of it. I cannot begin to imagine the strife, loneliness, and inner conflict he must of felt as he competed and trained for that record. Nor can I imagine what it must of been like to shatter such a record as he did. Stories like this are why I adore sports writing. I cant say I would of really cared about this record at all or it’s Progression if I just saw it in a table. It would be a “wow this guy broke it by ALOT” but that’s about all I would get from a chart. This bring the human side to sports to the forefront. Thanks for making this Jon … now to explain to my coworkers that I’m just fine and crying about sports and not just having a general breakdown in the middle of the office.

An update on the final 10 Bobs, 5 years later: 1. Bob Ajisafe is 38 and has not fought since 2019, but does not seem to have officially retired. 2 years ago he was said to be contemplating a change in weight class. 2. Bob McHugh is 32, playing in the sixth tier of Scottish football. 3. Bob Straetman is only 26 but plays in the fourth tier of Belgian football. 4. Bob Gilder is 73 and has not golfed professionally this decade. 5. Bob Sowards is 55 and placed 28th in a PGA Qualifying Tournament in December 2023, falling short of the top 5 qualifying positions. 6. Bob Tway is 65 and has not golfed since 2019. He was noncommittal in an interview that year about whether he was planning to continue golfing professionally or retire. 7. Bob Estes is 58 and still going strong, he placed 9th in a tournament in the PGA Champions circuit just last week. 8. Bob Bryan retired in 2020. 9. Bob Evans is 52 and an active promoter for an independent wrestling circuit, he last entered the ring in 2022 but may do so again. 10. Bob Jungels is only 31 and still cycling in the UCI World Tour, the highest level of competition in the sport. In all, I would argue that while 6 could be considered active: McHugh, Straetman, Sowards, Estes, Evans, and Jungels, only Estes and Jungels are playing at a high level rather than languishing in obscure competitions. But that doesn't matter, I hope they all continue their careers and carry the torch for as long as they can.

Surprise, he's actually Bob Bob.

I had to watch Part II to see if he included Bob Burnquist, and I'm glad to see that he did. It's hard to fully appreciate his famous run in the 2001 vert final without more context. For one thing, in those days skaters would usually have setup tricks between their real difficult ones, and Bob only had basically one at the start, followed by back to back to back bangers off of every wall. He also had multiple points where it looked like he had messed up. He got a bad flick or catch and it looked like he was going to bail, but he miraculously had enough control to hang on and keep going. Then on top of that, and this is the real kicker, he did most of the run switch, which means he was in what was opposite his normal stance, basically doing every trick backwards. Imagine performing in any other sport in your opposite stance, batting, pitching, golfing, whatever. That's what he managed to do here. And after the time was up, he just kept on flowing, executing trick after trick, leaving no doubt in anyone's minds that he deserved the gold that year.

You got me to watch 51 minutes on dudes named bob and I was glued to the screen...and you got me to give a *#@& about long jumping. Y'all might want to take a crack homelessness and world peace since y'all are out here achieving the impossible.

These videos may have accidentally saved my academic career. I am about to graduate with my AoS with an emphasis on mathematics, planning on transferring to university as a statistics major. Lately I have become very disillusioned with math, I have dropped all my classes this term being severely burned out and coming to see math as nothing more than "meaningless number manipulation, that benefits no one and lacks any intrinsic value". Not only have you used statistics as a basis for a compelling story, but also, in a round-about way as a way to tell the entire history of sports, and the stories of stand-out people along the way, and while I am possibly the person least interested in sports that I know, I cannot deny how engrossing the story is that these videos have to tell. You've given me hope that maybe there is something more yet to be done.

Listen here, Jon You are a visionary. Your editing, immaculate. Voice-over, spooky. But your researching skills... uhhh ..... I can't think of an adjective to describe how good you are at researching. I've done research deep dives for trends to help me gain an advantage in fantasy football. I've researched topics from getting shat on by a bird to which serial killers went unnoticed for the longest. I am a nerd, and i piggyback off of data collected from other nerds. But "what if we took away Barry Bonds' bat" and "what's the saddest punt ever" are truly groundbreaking adventures into analytical nerdom. "Scorigami" is now not only something i casually think about, but it's something I need to be updated on. What is the scorigami chart for college football?

Have a great uncle named bob proctor who played minor league baseball for the cardinals in the 50s. Had a change to go to spring training but quit because he had some business thing to come do in California. Ended up making a lot of money and lives comfortablely out here. Just funny to know he was part of these statistics

Donno how they managed to get me so hyped over a long jump from the 60’s unbelievable content

I got choked up at the Beamon jump reveal. In a video dedicated to the history of the name Bob in sports. Such is the power of Jon Bois.

Bob update as of October 2023 (with reference to the active Bobs listed at 47:33) Bob Ajisafe last fought in 2019. Bob McHugh appeared in games for East Kilbride in Scotland as recently as April 2023. Bob Straetman, age 25, remains an active player for SC Eendracht Aalst in Belgium. Bob Gilder last played on the PGA Tour Champions in 2019. Bob Sowards competed on the PGA Tour Champions in 2023. Bob Tway last played on the PGA Tour Champions in 2019. Bob Estes competed on the PGA Tour Champions in 2023. Bob Bryan retired alongside his brother in 2020. Bob Evans wrestled a match as recently as August 2023. Bob Jungels, age 31, remains an active cyclist. Bob Sapp is listed by Jon as a recently retired Bob, however, he has since come out of retirement. He competed in a boxing match as recently as April 2023. Subsequent matches in August and October 2023 were cancelled. “Cowboy” Bob Orton is also listed as a recently retired Bob, however, he has since come out of retirement. He wrestled a match as recently as August 2023. Assuming that I haven’t missed any, there are/were eight Bobs remaining in sports in 2023.

I'm a bit disappointed that you didn't mention Bullet Bob Hayes, a man who ran 10.06 seconds at the 1964 games on a cinder track in poor condition. If you think about, you might realize how extraordinary this achievement is. He was also the first to officially go below 10 seconds, though the time was wind-aided. He then went on to star as a wide receiver in the NFL and make the Hall of Fame.

i feel like 5 years from now, some HUGE breakout star in one of the 4 major north american leagues will be named bob, he will come out of nowhere, and make the bobs proud

The incredible thing is, as much as he hyped Beamon's jump (and the reveal and music are just perfect), it's still possibly undersold. Breaking a world record by that relative amount in a pure measure of athleticism is both unprecedented and unmatched. There is probably no other single effort in sports that approaches what Beamon did. And adding his personal and social circumstances, it's hard to imagine a feat of that level (and importance) ever happening again.

Roy Beddington If you adjust for the running surface of Jesse Owens compared to modern day rubberized track, Owens would have been only a single stride behind Usain Bolt at his fastest. They are both extremely fast. Bolt is UNDENIABLY the fastest man in history. But he is not as far advanced as Beamon was amongst his competition. Bob Beamon in a single jump represents a titanic leap (sic) in athleticism. It’s like if Muhammad Ali went back in time 100 years to fight amateur middleweight boxers in a bar league. It’s like 1968 Bob Gibson pitching to middle schoolers. It’s like the Miracle on Ice except everyone on America’s team is Wayne Gretzky. Beamon didn’t just change the long jump, but our understanding of the capabilities of our species. No one in thousands of years could even have dreamed of traveling that distance under their own power horizontally. It beggars belief
