2023 Mileage: 4618.2

A couple of weeks ago, Amazon Prime released a documentary titled Bye Bye Barry, about former Detroit Lions running back Barry Sanders, arguably the greatest running back in the history of the NFL (although Barry himself claims that Jim Brown deserves that title).

I had not seen it, so I watched it this morning during my ride. The Lions have been dismal during my lifetime (they last won the NFL championship in 1957, the far distant year of my birth [just over a decade before the Super Bowl began]). Accordingly, my football fandom is not strong. 

I heard the film praised strongly on my sports talk radio station (97.1, The Ticket) yesterday. Since we subscribe to Amazon Prime, I decided to watch it today -- and am glad that I did. In fact, multiple viewings were strongly recommended, and that is a recommendation I expect to accept sometime in coming days.

This gave me a ride of 18.8 virtual miles in 1:32.
