Do you know who the hell I am?

That’s a quote from Evel Knievel, American Icon, when asked why he tried to jump the Snake River. Knievel died on Friday, November 30, 2007. If you were a kid growing up in the late 70’s and early 80’s, like me, you probably remember seeing him on World Wide of Sports. You probably had the cool toys and lunch boxes (we couldn’t afford them), and the awe of seeing a daredevil. Plus the cane filled with bourbon.

God bless him.

Yea well…I didnt grow up watching him (born late 80s) but I def remember that Jim Rome interview. Best one line answer in history. RIP Evel.

Seem like the end of an era. My brother worshiped him. I’ve seen him jump more trashcans lined up than I care to remember.
