Change the situation a little bit and he'd be sure hated by at least a chunk of fans. He's cute and cuddly because he's wearing that Lions blue. Let's say it's '97, he forces his way out of Detroit quietly, he ends up on the 49ers, and rides Steve Young to a Superbowl over the Broncos. They have a rematch in the Superbowl the next year and he makes some innocuous comment about loving to play the game before the superbowl that the Denver media explodes as a rip on Terrell Davis's migraines. Barry runs all over the Broncos sad D again sending Elway into retirement as a quintuple loser, and Barry Sanders is mega-hitler in Denver now.

I would because then he wouldn't be Barry Sanders, he would be the new Tom Brady.

I was going to write him going to the Vikings in '98 and turning Randall Cunningham into John Elway, but that just made me sad.

But hey, you want evil? TD retires due to Migraines early and the Broncos trade for Barry, boom done.

Now Barry Sanders is the guy who made Elway into Elway.

He's not 25% of the cap or even 20% of the cap. Through 2024 he's not larger than 17.6% of the cap and that drops down. His contract is extremely cap friendly outside of 2027 really.

Universally loved should imply that division opponents (can) still hate the player.

Hence, gently caress Mike Trout. But also lol that the best player in baseball can't be capitalized on to the point that all he does is talk about the weather on his twitter feed, and we get stories about how his wife wishes he'd stop sending her links about bomb cyclones.

Mike Trout is good, but until he wins literally one playoff game I’m not saying he’s the greatest player of the past decade.

He is easily the best player of the last decade and could possibly be the greatest player of all-time. One non-pitcher doesn't have that much ability to impose his will on the team results in baseball.
