The Detroit Lions history over the last six decades has been comical at best. Yet even in the sea of frustration that the Honolulu Blue and Silver have created, there are a few sparkling gems.
Perhaps the most sparkling was former Lions running back, and current Hall of Famer, Barry Sanders. The man whose running style still defies the imagination and creates a buzz whenever he is mentioned.
Even two decades after he retired the name of Barry Sanders is spoken of with reverence in the Motor City, as well as anywhere else that the game is appreciated.
