I was Barrys FedEx guy for three years. Asked me my name first time he met me and never forgot it. Always waved when I didn't have a stop when he was outside and always a class act. Only time I was star struck on the job and I delivered to a lot of athletes and millionaires and a couple of billionaires
Yep I was his UPS guy and still is. He is very nice and a decent Human Being. Last month I dropped off a big package, he came out and offered his assistance.
Me too!! I was his milk delivery guy. I delivered milk to him every Tuesday. He always got 3 1% chocolate liters that he would chug in front of me. He invited me in to watch him chug the 2 remaining liters, but I had a job to do.
Me too, I was Barry's electrician and he would offer to climb up in the attic and pull wires for me every time I came over to work. He even spackled the drywall for me after I installed his new outlets while i ate the dinner he cooked for me. Class act
This man seems completely 100% comfortable with his decision to retire it's the rest of us who are upset about it. We wanted to see him break the record because he was so great
@@manchesterexplorer8519 fr, you could almost say him not getting it made his legend even that much greater because now there'a always going to be a "what-if" tied to it in regards to him
As a Lions fan during that time, I didn't care about him breaking the record, because that would have come. I wanted a really good QB to pair with Barry so the Lions could reach a Super Bowl. If Joe Montana became a Detroit Lion and the two of them stayed healthy, a SB would have been in the cards indeed.
I work retail in Detroit, and Barry came into where I worked. Instinctively, I got low to pretend to try and block him as he came into the store, and he gave a smile and juked around me. Everyone in Detroit has a story like this I think that has encountered him. 100% class, 100% respect to everyone, 100% the goat.
As a lifelong Lions fan all I can say is it’s great to see Barry happy and back with the team where he belongs. Best halfback ever, college and pro. Never been another one like him.
Me and my dad both life long lions fans were sitting with my fourth grade nephew. He is obsessed with sports but lived most of his life in Indiana and loves the colts (at least he is a Michigan fan) . The subject of best running back of all time comes up and he says Emmett Smith! The whole table erupted even my sisters that don't care about sports knew that was the wrong answer in our family! Haha
That's all you were able to take away from his great career? Handing the ball to the refs after a touchdown? You missed the boat. Focusing on the wrong thing, that didn't even factor in the final result of the game
Classiest touchdown celebration of all time. Every time he scored it was like, "Here you go, ref. I'll be back another dozen times this game." Which is classy, and savage at the same time. Been there, done that, no big deal.
I was born in 90, I was born in Pontiac, MI the same city that held all of his home games at the Silverdome and I was barely old enough to remember my dad and uncles talking about him and showing me replays they had recorded on tape and how sad they were but happy for him for his retirement. The only sadness that came was because he wasn’t able to get a ring, but we all know he was one of the best to run it back then!! That statue is a solid 15+ years overdue. Thank you, Mr. Sanders for coming back to be a part of this new team! I will be with my Dad and Uncle and my Brothers on Thursday to watch the game on the BIIIIG screen!
@@DavidTheDeveloper exactly! Hahahaha. Defense is next to impossible to play anymore... in the 80's and 90's trying to decapitate someone was celebrated and featured on Sportscenter. Barry Sanders is a GOAT in any era...
@@turdfergusonisafunnyname702 No, because Brady is a glorified role player. He did nothing spectacular but played his role. Deion was not only a dynamic difference maker, but he was a 4 in 1 guy. He played the corner, punt returner, wide out, and baseball. Although, I do believe if Brady was black with the same skill set, not only would he have not been given an opportunity to play in the nfl, he would've been given a scholarship to any university let-alone Michigan.
@@mr.nyceguy7800 bollocks Brady could read a defence like no other QB he made the best with lesser weapons than most bet you think he was a system QB Deion Sanders was great not taking Brady's place though maybe Lawrence Taylor's place he was great for a crack head though.
At 47 years old, as much as I would love to be 27 again, I got to watch Barry Sanders Live every Sunday.. Hard to think of anything I would ever trade that for.
this man is why I fell in love with football being a lions fan growing up watching him on Thanksgiving every year. broke my heart when he retired. the old lions did that to u. thanks for still being around Barry. been a long time since I was this excited about the lions since u were there. u are the man!
Barry is the absolute goat running back. If he played through his full prime he’d have over 20k rush yards and 175 td’s. But props to him for getting out when he wanted to.
I met Barry last Summer at a sports convention and he's the nicest guy. I thanked him for being an inspiration to be great. A moment I'll remember forever. He's one of my favorite players of all time and a true legend.
How in the hell can't you love Barry Sanders more after this interview....wow what a great human being....love ya Barry thanks for all the GREAT memories...go pride 🦁🦁🦁
In 97, my Dad bought me a plane ticket to Detroit and a ticket to the 2000 yard game. I was in the nose bleeds in the Silver Dome. That place was so loud that evening. When Barry broke 2000 yards on a 3-yard run, we went crazy. The next play, he broke a 53-yard run, and they won the game and a playoff birth. I'll never forget how loud that place was. Amazing!
Being a diehard Cowboys fan for 53 years, and watching Tony and Emmitt, no one compares to the greatest pure rushing genius of Barry Sanders. He was absolutely amazing!
I became a Lion's fan because of him. I remember his Jr year at OK St and became a fan. Living in San Diego it was hard to watch Lions game except for Thanksgiving and I would never miss those games. Barry was and is the best by far.
@@garrusvakarian6322Nah, Emmitt played much longer and he had a elite o-line to open up the lanes and a QB that can throw to open it up even more. Barry never had that. And he still got all his yards.
As a life long Lion, it is so nice to see Barry back and around the Lions. I is interesting how he refers o the Lions as "we". That has not been the case for a long time. Kudos to the Lions organization for reaching out to him and making hat happen
Unfortunately, I was too young to watch Barry Sanders live. But the First highlights I remember watching was Barry and I couldn't stop! Amazing player and Human being. 🙏
You never saw Barry make a first down signal after a good run. You never saw him spike the ball or do anything considered celebrating. You never saw him trash talk a defender or at any point at all. The most professional player I've ever seen! I wonder if he would have celebrated after a game if he was able to win a superbowl!
Grew up a Bears fan, and Barry was playing for the Lions at the time, and as much as I wanted the Bears to be the best, Barry was my dude. I couldn't help but root for the guy because he was just SO good.
I actually made it onto the "Bye Bye Barry" on Prime as a young kid getting Barry's autograph... Everytime he saw me ask for autograph he gave me one. My favorite football player of all time and an absolute NFL legend until the end of time. We all know the truth. Barry is and has always been the GOAT!
Thank you for saying that Barry is the greatest football player of all time. Needs to be said more often. There might be an argument but there is no contest…
If it wasn't the same coach the best one I heard was, "whatever you do, do not injure Thurman Thomas because they have a kid behind him name Barry Sanders"
Im 53 and absolutely love Barry and the lions. He is such a class act. Never spiked.the ball or act like a clown in the end zone. Instead, he would simply toss the ball to the ref, after running circles around defenders. In the early to mid 90s, i went to Reno Nev. While at a casino,.i remember meeting this dude with a huge cowboy hat, boots,.the whole 9 yards. He was from Texas. The lions game was about to start, so he was heading to the sports betting area. He told me.that he was a cowboys fan but there was nothing better than watching Barry Sanders play. That was the first time i truly realized how popular he was everywhere.
One of my Favorite player to watch and I’m a die hard Broncos fan but when Barry was playing I made sure to watch as much as I could. The best running back ever emitt smith knows what’s up who the real rushing leader would be
Two things: 1. His stats his senior year at Oklahoma State were insane yet he gives credit to his O-line and teammates. 2. Wa-cheetah?!? Seriously DBUT?
What a fantastic role model for all current and future players. No ego, no BS just give me the ball and let me do my work. And unlike some of the players we have seen since he did not need to talk himself up, he let others do it for him while he backed it up. I would love the boys to do a segment where they select a NFL side of the last 45 years. Even though the sport has gone through many changes I think it would make for a good segment and they could interview some of the selections.
Over 2800 rushing yds in a single season at Oklahoma State. Common misconception is that Barry Sanders was a home run hitter but not a consistent “hit the hole and pickup 4-7 yds/carry” running back. Nuh, nuh, nuh, no, he never really had a good O-Line when he was with the Lions, and most of what he accomplished, he accomplished despite his lackluster offensive line. If he had Emmitt’s offensive line, he would be well over 20,000 career rushing yds.
IDK what I can say to speak to how highly I regard Barry Sanders, but I'll sum it up with this, if my son could turn out to be the man that Barry is my world would be complete!!!
There is a good case to be made that Barry Sanders is the best running back ever. Walter Payton and Jim Brown are also in the conversation. Barry was the most elusive back. Walter Payton had fancy, elusive moves and was a great blocker and could catch. Jim Brown just ran over people. So, they had different styles. o
As a Tampa Bay Buccaneer season ticket holder back in the 1990s, Sanders was the only player where the whole stadium rose to their feet every time he touched the ball.
I remember playing Barry’s heisman season in NCAA 13 and being shocked at his stats every single game. I’d feel overpowered as hell just trying to match what he did in real life
Walter Payton was my favorite player and reason I became a Bears fan. Barry Sanders is the greatest running back of all time. Man is class personified. Walter's the greatest football player of all time though Pat.
Barry was the best running back ever and the most humble. It took Emmitt 7 years after Barry retired to break the record so there's no question on who's the best ever.
Is four 300 yard games in a season good? Oh and one other game for 293! The freakin GOAT…One of One the Picasso of running backs, if watching him run was art he painted with a completely different brush the field was Barry’s canvas…the statue is superb btw seen it when tallica blew the freakin roof off ford field there’s just great energy in Detroit right now any squad who steps on that turf against DC’s Lions is gonna feel it
Man growing up watching football in the late 80s till today the great players I was fortunate to be able to watch is insane so many great player's during my lifetime so far. That said 2 of the most entertaining I've witnessed have the last name Sanders.
BY THE WAY - WATCHED IT LAST NIGHT!!! Outstanding!! - Every time I watch game, film of Barry Senators, it reminds me of one thing, and one thing only!!!!! - ONLY GOD COULD CREATE THAT!!! 😎👍🇺🇸
Without a doubt the greatest running back of alltime. To do what he did with that terrible o-line year after year was unreal. Watched his entire career and even though I was a Redskins fan he was my favorite running back in that era.
I loved watching Barry as a kid. I watched more Lions games than my local Patriots games (they sucked then anyhow) for years because he was so fun to watch. Any given game, any single hand-off could be a breakaway highlight run. On top of that any run he got past the line of scrimmage every single yard was usually exciting to see. Dude rarely go tacked while not juking, spinning, jumping, stiff arming or just simply moving dynamically in some way.
Omg me too I'm 42 from Connecticut I loved Thanksgiving me and my cousins would all gather around the tv and watch Barry do what he always did while our parents cooked. Very fond memories
He went out just like his dads idol, Jim Brown. Barry went out in the prime of his career - one decent Barry season away from the NFL Rushing record. It’s crazy. But just like his rookie season, he needed 10 yards to beat Christian Okoye for the Rushing title…he took himself out of the game to start the 4th Qtr because we had the game basically won already. He just didn’t care about stats or records. I feel so lucky to have witnessed his entire kid as a big Lions fan growing up in Michigan in the 80’s-90’s. That man was the best I’ve ever seen to this day. Thank You Barry!!!!

His humility was my favorite part of him. Never EVER acted like the best player on the field after he scored or after a crazy good run.
Ugh…the best rb ever. I loved watching him run and just smile from ear to ear when I watch his highlights
Thanksgiving simply isn’t the same without Barry. Hell, the NFL isn’t the same without him.

Any given game, any single hand-off could be a breakaway highlight run. On top of that any run he got past the line of scrimmage every single yard was usually exciting to see. Dude rarely go tacked while not juking, spinning, jumping, stiff arming or just simply moving dynamically in some way.
Omg me too I'm 42 from Connecticut I loved Thanksgiving me and my cousins would all gather around the tv and watch Barry do what he always did while our parents cooked. Very fond memories
everybody Loves Barry, !! God Bless Barry!
This is the most I've ever heard Barry speak! Still looks fresh!
Barry Sanders: A true work of art.
Wi-Cheetah!?! 😅 😂
What a hero
America loved this guy. I remember 🏈
Just here to pay my respects to the greatest RB to ever play the game.
College and NFL
God broke the mold with Barry.
There will NEVER be another.
He will ever remain the standard by which all others are measured.
I'm loving this more public outspoken Barry.
He went out just like his dads idol, Jim Brown. Barry went out in the prime of his career - one decent Barry season away from the NFL Rushing record. It’s crazy. But just like his rookie season, he needed 10 yards to beat Christian Okoye for the Rushing title…he took himself out of the game to start the 4th Qtr because we had the game basically won already. He just didn’t care about stats or records. I feel so lucky to have witnessed his entire kid as a big Lions fan growing up in Michigan in the 80’s-90’s. That man was the best I’ve ever seen to this day. Thank You Barry!!!!
