Christianity affects your whole life. I feel I’m more competitive, a better player, but off the field is where there is always a battle.

I don’t know the right way to retire.
BARRY SANDERS

Retiring Right Way
Happiness does not come from football awards. It’s terrible to correlate happiness with football. Happiness comes from a good job, being able to feed your wife and kids. I don’t dream football, I dream the American dream – two cars in a garage, be a happy father.

Challenges Lines Sometimes
I sat behind Thurman Thomas for my first couple of years, then my first year starting I won the Heisman. After I won the Heisman, that’s when things changed as far as going to the NFL.

I’m a Jewish boy from Jersey. I was born with a strong sense of right and wrong, and a strong sense that the world can be a ludicrous, unfair, inhumane place.

I’m not better than anyone else. I’m not supposed to be on a pedestal. I’ve always stayed away from that.
