gijoerock Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 (edited) Why did Barry Sanders retire? Was he afraid what his dad would do to him if he broke NFL rushing records? Was he afraid of becoming a superstar? Was he shy and did not want additional attention from the media? Was he tired of a losing culture? Was Barry not an emotional football player?

Kinda reminds me how Joe Jackson raised his kids and the aftermath was on full display as an adult. I will watch again to gain a better understanding of Barry versus his accomplishments.

Bier Meister Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 i was watching it as you posted this. I enjoyed it. I get why he was disenfranchised with the Lions at the time, but still do not fully understand why he just didn't go play for another team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the guys he grew to love and go to war with were traded he felt decieved by the Lions organization. Go back to the Dan Patrick interview when he said you guys dont care about me. He koved people who loved him. Those trades hurt him deeply and I don't think he recovered from that loss of comraderie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
