One of the few "superstars" to retire when they were still the best ie: Barry Sanders,Sandy Koufax[/QUOT If Sandy Koufax could have had Tommy John surgery back in the 60's and he could have won 100 more games.

Napheesa.Who are we talking about here? I'm not sure if it's Pheesa or KLS or Kia or ???????
Man, did I love to see Barry Sanders play and I loved the class he had when he scored. No showtime crap, just hand the ball to the referee, end of story. He averaged more yards per carry than anyone in NFL history who was over 10,000 yards though Jim Brown is close. For a guy who played for a team that NEVER had a quarterback or any other offensive threat and was undersized, that is truly amazing. Look at the support that Jim Brown had offensively on his team, besides himself. Barry was THE MAN!
