THE GREATEST RUNNING BACK IN THE HISTORY OF THE GAME WE CALL "FOOTBALL"

By Thriftbooks.com User, November 7, 2007

I was so glad to see this book and DVD come out. The story of Barry Sanders the NFL's legendary running back who played for the Detroit Lions for his entire NFL career. Barry Sanders didn't break the biggest records but, his name is mentioned as a runner up for all of them. This was mainly because Barry didn't play the game to break records. He played the game to the best of his abilities..... and his best, for those of us...

A Detailed Look at a Modest Man

By Thriftbooks.com User, January 20, 2004

Barry Sanders tells of his life, including his tenure as a Detroit Lion, in this semi-autobiography.

I've seen them all: Brown, Horning, Sayers (he could have been if injury hadn't cut him short; also from Kansas--what have they got in their water there?),...

Every young athlete should read this

By Thriftbooks.com User, January 4, 2004

Barry Sanders and Mark McCormick have done a wonderful job of capturing a life in sports, then talking about putting that life behind. Barry Sanders may be one of the most misunderstood athletes of our time. He played for himself not because he was selfish, but to be true to his own values and upbringing.
