Able Quote by Barry Sanders

“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.” quote by Barry Sanders — Download Open image
