NFL Hall of Famer Barry Sanders joins Episode 78 of Talkin' Ball with Pat Leonard, the New York Daily News' NFL columnist and Giants beat writer, to talk about his new @PrimeVideo  documentary, ‘Bye, Bye, Barry,’ his special games on Thanksgiving Day with the Detroit Lions, his relationship with Saquon Barkley and his advice for the Giants’ running back, the secrets that helped him excel for the duration of his career, and where he learned his humility to hand the ball to the referee when he scored touchdowns. Sanders’ new 'Bye, Bye, Barry’ documentary tells the long-awaited story of his outstanding career and shocking early retirement from football. Sanders retraces his steps of that difficult decision with us, explains his emotions reflecting on that tough call, and describes his father’s role in the decision to stop playing (hint: he strongly disagreed with it). The NFL legend also recounts a rewarding conversation with the Giants’ Barkley in August and highlights some of Sanders’ tricks to performing at his highest level.
