Talk:Barry Sanders

Height?
Sanders was 5'7 1/2, the NFL rounded him to 5'8. Where the hell did 5'9 come from? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.1.114.97 (talk) 17:10, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

Just short?
He was over 1,500 yards behind Payton. How is that "just short"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.32.205.28 (talk) 08:46, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

Recent Barry Sanders Podcast
Not sure if this is ok for this section, but I somewhat recently did a long, in-depth podcast with Barry that spanned the scope of his career. It was very biographical, yet topical and I thought it would be a great way for those wanting to learn about Barry (Wiki readers) to do so.

Here's the link: 

Hi there Mr. Sanders I am trying to talk to Emmit about a very special event coming up and would love if he could be a part of this. Please have him email me at cjohnson2960@yahoo.com; not sure how many people view this page so I don't want to say to much.

Emmit it has something to do with your dancing, I'll live it that so please respond to my email I only have 5 months to go and its very important to me.

Thank you, Mrs. Johnson —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.64.0.69 (talk) 18:18, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

Middle Name
Barry Sanders confirmed that he has no middle name on Twitter here. I have removed the middle name in response. 98.250.52.67 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 18:25, 23 November 2011 (UTC). I keep removing the middle name and someone keeps putting it back. Mr Sanders HAS NO MIDDLE NAME. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Grubi (talk • contribs) 22:35, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

Contradicting accounts of where Sanders resides
At the end of the article there are contradicting reports of where Sanders resides. In the second to last section, it states that he resides in Michigan. In the section right under it, it says he resides in Oklahoma. These contradicting accounts seem oblivious to the other's mention, which is quite painful and confusing to read. It is one thing if he lives part of the year in both places, but the article does not say anything to support this. Could someone who knows about Sanders please update this? Thank you!

"Greatest short player"?
Article states that he "was also voted the greatest short player of all time", without a source. Not clear if this was some sort of real vote, a height joke, a short-yardage reference... Any theories? 109.255.211.6 (talk) 05:03, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
