Not a very groundbreaking or informative doc. Also shown in an order that didn’t make much sense. But I’ll always appreciate a deep dive into Barry highlights.

How can you not like Barry Sanders after this? This would probably be a lot higher if I wasn’t an avid active Vikings fan.

Interesting enough to get me interested in the Detroit Lions even a little bit, and that has to be worth something
