What playing for Detroit does to a MF

Nothing but respect for that man. The class and way he played the game I’ll never forget, even as a snotty nose little kid I can vividly remember watching him play the game the right way. Luckily got to see him in the silver dome several times

Lmao didn’t we already cover this the day he retired. Leave the legend at peace. News is so wack these days.

Article is more or less crap, but the videos were fun to watch again. I forgot how common horsecollar tackles used to be

“Finally”? The fucking article says it was essentially the same thing he said 24 years ago.

Still sad as dude was one of the most entertaining RBs to watch on the field

Check out the doc. Highly recommended very well done

Why do people always pretend he retired super young and in his prime. He was 30 and already played for ten seasons. The wheels were about to fall off.

Well, why didn’t he just go to another team instead of languishing at Detroit?

Tldr he saw the lions were going no where.

I know walter Payton gets the nod, but sanders would’ve been the GOAT if he had kept playing.

It’s really not that shocking that a Running Back retired after 10 years in the nfl. Most guys don’t last for more then 3. The freaks Can last over 10 years and be productive as a running back.

The Lions and generational-talent players retiring in their prime, name a more iconic duo

What I find crazy is how, in the '90s, a 10 year vet running back was thought to be “in their prime.”

As a bears fan, sweetness is the GOAT in my heart.

But, pure ability to rush the ball no matter what (team skill, offensive philosophy, down/distance, game situation, etc) Barry can’t be touched. He could make everything out of nothing at his discretion.
