Barry Sanders did do it better than anyone else and did so during a period where TV glorified the sport and athletes were beginning the "look at me" boom. Barry simply handed the ball to the referee. Barry didn't go with the trend, he opted to be different, to be better.

He acted like a man. So did they.

:-k Barry did say if he scored a touchdown in the Super Bowl, he would probably have to spike it cuz it might be the last time he's there, lol. I thought that was funny, cuz he played for the Lions. Detroit. Lions.

Barry did exactly what we tell our children every day of their young lives, "Don't give in to pear pressure". He listened the other children did not. He gets a gold star. Woohoo.

I played QB and S so when I scored was when I had to run it in, or got a pick six. I was so eager to get on defense and get the ball back so I could lead our offense to another score I didn't feel the 20 seconds or whatever it took to chase down the spiked ball was worth it.

The feeling I had that I was unconsciously emulating my idol was surreal. And having one of my best friends pointing it out in front of everyone made it that much more special. Guess that probably sounds silly.
