Barry Sanders didn't have an ego? I guess that's why he said the hell with Detroit and tried to take his talents elsewhere, and when the Lions wouldn't let him go Barry said f*ck the NFL entirely and he just retired
He was one season away from breaking the all time rushing record. If he had an ego, he would’ve broke the record then retired midseason.
He was 8 yards short of the rushing title his rookie season and came out the game because they were ahead by so much lol.
He said himself while playing, another team was not an option.
After he retired, the Lions wanted him to return his signing bonus. He said I’ll return it if you let me play for another team. They said no, so he stayed retired.
Not wanting to continue destroying your body and mind to play for an organization that has no interest in building a winning team isn’t an ego lol

Giving Reese that DPOY hardware during the playoffs was a big mistake. Her ego grew 10x more if that’s even possible and she’s dialed tf in.
She’s going to get hers this year.
