Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

Barry Sanders has a man crush




jump

Star-divide

Barry Sanders qualifies as a football expert based on his Hall of Fame career with the Lions. But the superstar running back is as amazed as the common fan at the depths his former team sank to in the last decade.

But Sanders can see the Lions climbing out of the NFL's basement -- with quarterback Matthew Stafford leading the way.

Sanders, who is featured in a Miller Lite national charity campaign to raise money for the V Foundation's cancer-research program, evaluated the Lions' past and future in an interview Tuesday morning. The promotion is connected to Super Bowl XLIV Sunday between the Colts and Saints.

Better yet

Bring Barry Sr. out of retirement and have the Barries as our backfield.

LOL Barrys a little old for that. It would be cool to give him the gordy howe treatment and sign him for 1 game though.

How would he coach?

I have this mental picture of him telling the RBs “Ok. Just go out there and bend time and space while you scoot left and right until you see a hole and run”
