deetroit hasn’t been the same since Lem Barney played for them.
The Lions last decent quarterback was Bobby Layne, and that was before I was even born.
(Although I did have a poster of Greg Landry when I was a kid).
My favorite is Barry Sanders’ remark when he decided to retire after the Puddy-Tats drafted Aaron Gibson as Barry’s “protection”.
Gibson shows up to training camp pushing 385 pounds (really, circa 400!). Barry, in his infinite wisdom intones on a live WDIV interview, “No human being gets to 400 pounds from lifting weights.”
The writing was on the wall. 2 weeks into camp...Barry retires.
