Quitter

Time has healed no wounds for me. I'm still pissed at Barry Sanders for bailing on the Lions without any warning right before the start of training camp. So, forgive me If I'm not celebrating his career today.

From The Detroit Free Press:

Ten years ago, Barry Sanders ended great career abruptly

He knows his sudden exit wasn't popular; he and his teammates talk about his days

...One day his likeness graced skyscrapers in downtown Detroit, and the next day he was on a plane to London. At least it seemed like that. The shock of his abrupt retirement rippled through metro Detroit, both among fans and media. Sadness, frustration, disappointment and in some cases even anger greeted news that Sanders had called it a career.
