The Blue Board

Tell me how he quit?

Sanders did not quit and Brown did not quit. He played 9 nfl seasons. Lead the league in rushing 8 times.

Wow, completely disagree with this statement. He retired, just did it with gas left in the tank. I believe Jim Brown did the same thing. I would have loved to watch Barry two or three more years, but I respect his decision. Hell he would have owned the career rushing record had he continued to play. Have to respect a man that was willing to step away from the game on his own terms.

lol

this was a quote from Barry

If this doesn't define quitter I don't know what does

" I quit because I didn't feel like the Detroit Lions had a chance to win. It just killed my enjoyment of the game. "

But think whatever you guys want

I loved Barry Sanders, still do

If you don't believe that he said that just google it, that is how I found it

I remember his retirement vividly, I really didn't blame him and still don't

But he quit

If your son quit a team cause they sucked, he would be a quitter

Just cause the mans name is Barry Sanders doesn't mean he gets a pass, not in my hood

The man is a quitter, period.... end of story

Stop being so sensitive about the truth

Im fine with saying Brown quit too

Whatever, I don't know much about Brown other than the movies he is in and that he is a legend

Im not gonna say that cause I don't really know Brown's story

But if he did infact quit, then yes

Both are still awesome but you can't give the title of GOAT to a quitter with a bad attitude

What kind of message does that send ?

JMO though, you can't argue the skills

Barry just always rubbed me wrong off the field, he should have just shut up and play IMO for his millions of fans

I would be upset my team sucked too, who wouldn't be ? but it wouldn't take the fun out of playing in the NFL lol, and being the best RB in the game.... seriously, what a pussy

Boo hoo my team sucks and they won't trade me, well fine I quit... pout pout pout

The man goes out on top and he is quitter? Whatever- this is a franchise that gave 2 huge contracts to Scott Mitchell then had the audacity to take offense when Barry wanted a penny more. An owner who makes laughably bad hires. A coach at the time in Bobby Ross who did not really care Barry was a superstar. He just got treated all the same and somehow smeared Barry as not being a team player. Looking back I dont blame Barry one bit. He went out on top and the game never defined who he was. He was gifted and he knew it. He was born to play football. He was not like sad, pathetic Emmitt who had to be put out to pasture.

Nova is seriously retarded. Calling out Barry when he is a bandwagon bitch of a fan.

Well according to that logic Michael Jordan can't be the GOAT. Sandy Koufax can't be considered the greatest left handed pitcher of all-time.. Bobby Bowden no longer the greatest coach in FSU history, looks like Fisher gets the nod.

LMAO Jordan's father was murdered

He didn't quit cause his team sucked

Damn Star that was funny, thanks

I guess everybody is hanging from Barry's cock around here

"no matter how good his reasons were.... Barry quit.... Period"

--NoVaNoles, 10/10/11

What is so funny about that

People always have reasons to quit

Jimbo has a great reason to walk away right now, but he doesn't cause he is a man and he tries to push through

Barry Sanders is Urban Meyer, when things get tough... he folds

Like Mike Gundy?
