DETROIT – Legendary running back Barry Sanders pokes a little fun at himself in the new advertisement for Pepsi Max. In the commercial Sanders is seen getting a shave in a barber shop.
The barber boasts about having a "football legend" in his chair. "Barry Sanders! This man ran for 99 career touchdowns. 99."

A second barber chimes in, "And then you just disappeared from the game. Why?"
Sanders replies, "Well guys the real reason I retired is....." and then he disappears.
Sanders abruptly retired from his career with the Detroit Lions in July 1999. He had a record 15,269 rushing yards, 2,921 receiving yards, and 109 touchdowns.
