Emmitt Smith wasn't a quitter like Barry Sanders.

Rex_Capone420

PrimalScream31

LOL Barry Sanders demanded a trade and didn't get it.

I think you need to brush up on your Lions history there Rex.

Dick LeBeau is giving his speech. Anyone want to talk about the Hall of Fame?
I never got to see him play as a Lion, so in my mind, all I know of him is the Steelers defensive coordinator.

I know for a fact Barry asked for a trade.<_>

There is one Rushing record that Barry Sanders owns that will never be broken though...

He lost more yards than any running back in NFL history.

Sanders lost 952 yards on 336 carries.

Yes, I think of him more as the Steelers DC too but the man deserves to be in the HOF for his playing days.

theres nothing that proved he asked for a trade...it was all rumors....he to this day and even during his induction speech said his hart is in detroit...hell he still lives there

drinkwine732

lol @ fan in denial

PrimalScream31

Rex, You are wrong. It wasn't rumors its a fact that he asked for a trade.

PrimalScream31

This argument is getting as bad and New England fans saying that the Pats didn't cheat when it was proved that they did.

Rex_Capone420

prove it and ill believe ya...i was there when it happened...and read pretty much everything i could find and not seen anything proving he asked for a trade...


"Several years after retirement, and repeated refusals to discuss the abruptness of it, Sanders finally admitted that the culture of losing in the Lions' organization was too much to deal with even though he said that he could still play. He explained that it robbed him of his competitive spirit, and he saw no reason to believe things were going to improve. \

(this part is the important part)He also stated that there were tears in his eyes as the Lions lost the final game of his career the season before he left, because he knew in his heart he was never going to play another NFL game - "I sobbed for 3 months."[9]"
