Barry Sanders on Retired Numbers, The Detroit Lions, Favorite Running Backs and the Greatest Sports What Ifs

The GOAT Barry Sanders joins and talks his legendary career and whether he’d ever consider letting anybody at Oklahoma State or with the Detroit Lions wear his retired numbers. Plus the Hall of Famer picks his favorite running backs, discusses his sudden retirement and if he had any regrets and how the heart attack he suffered in 2024 led to a new mission in life for himself.   Matt also recaps the drama caused by his comments last week, revealing that USC asked him to unretire his number a few times for new recruits. Finally, the guys make their picks for the greatest what ifs in sports history.   New episodes of Throwbacks drop every Thursday.
