00:00 We'll never see somebody like Barry Sanders again.
00:03 It was lightning from the first snap that he took.
00:07 Because of that, Detroiters were just all in.
00:10 Barry! Barry! Barry!
00:13 For this second, he's here.
00:17 And then a thousand one, he's not here anymore.
00:20 He's over there, and you're tackling air.
00:23 Normal joints don't move the way Barry Sanders' joints move.
00:27 I'm sorry!
00:28 How do you juke people, get to the end zone, and just give the ball to the ref?
00:33 He's so humble, and it's real.
00:35 He just wanted to play football.
00:37 This guy did something special every single Sunday.
00:41 He gave Detroit a sense of hope that the city desperately needed.
00:45 It's a privilege to be one of the players that will help restore the roar.
00:48 Dianne Sanders, Detroit's best!
00:50 We had the greatest running back that ever played the game.
00:53 But then, something happened.
00:56 A shocking announcement has thousands of fans feeling flustered.
01:00 Barry Sanders will retire, not with a press conference, but with a statement.
01:04 He sends a fax.
01:05 Fax machine?
01:06 Everybody's trying to figure out why.
01:08 What the F are you doing?
01:11 Was Barry frustrated playing for a losing team?
01:14 Is this a bargaining ploy?
01:16 My dad was opinionated.
01:17 It was tough to experience that.
01:19 He would tell Barry, "He'll never be better than Jim Brown."
01:21 He was affected by guys who got hurt.
01:23 All his teammates suffer serious injuries.
01:26 Nobody walks away at the peak of their powers like this.
01:31 There has to be something else.
01:34 Marker.
01:35 [music]
01:45 [music]
01:55 you
