You get the feeling watching the documentary that Barry never got a lot of pleasure from his own accomplishments. That's a damn shame.

It is a shame. And I mean, to be selfish, we got robbed of a few years of his greatness too. There has never been a player who could shift course at the pace he could, and run by everyone else on the field at the same time too. The NFL wouldn't have devalued him if he were in today's game.
