The ineptitude of the Lions' ownership drove Barry to retire. After 95, they let a number of the key leaders leave in free agency due to not wanting to pay. And Barry was left trying to carry a team that was going nowhere. It sapped hus desire to want to continue playing. Can't blame him. Really, Barry would have had all the leverage to demand a trade to a contender in the 99 offseason. But as we all know, that's not Barry.
Miss all the 80’s games. They were great games and-real football. Announcers were great and I remember every game watching as a teenager. Great memories
man this was the end of the bears dominating the division for like 7-8 seasons maybe? 84-91? its so crazy they never won like 3 super bowls mainly cuz of jim mcmahon being injured and they had shitty backups
