I feel ya man and understand. I'm not is enough to have seen sims play but I know of him being a Lions fan. I grew up watching Barry and he was and is by far my favorite Lion. When he did what he did I was pissed, hurt and let down. But I soon let it go. I couldn't keep hating on him. He was the best Lion we've had at the RB position ever in my mind. I have his jersey, and I wear it every other Lions game. After all the discussion and stories revolving around him leaving, I forgave him. Having players like Calvin gives us Lions fans hope like we had when we had Barry. But neither Barry then, or Calvin now, can carry this team on their back alone. So we wait and hope, that the day will come when we have a FULL team to get us where we need to be.
I'm a hate-filled, grudge holding bastard I guess. I hate how Barry comes back like he is a big Lions supporter, he left because the franchise was losing, and now he is treated like a hero? To me he is like a guy in the army that went awol and shows back up after the war is over and acts like he had something to do with winning it. He should never be welcomed back in my opinion. I wouldn't wear a Barry Sanders jersey if you paid me to, he is a loser and a quitter in my book. He was fun to watch and could have broken all the records and possibly helped us to become somewhat relevant, but he still screwed the entire organization over.
