The greatest Detroit Lion ever, Barry Sanders, was known for being a quiet, private, humble star.
But even Barry was upset after last night's referee debacle in the Lions-Packers game.

Sanders, who never celebrated touchdowns -- and even, at times, handed the ball directly to the ref after scoring, took to Twitter on Monday night to voice his displeasure.
That is sickening... the @NFL needs to look at a way to prevent that from happening. Two phantom hands to the face calls really hurts us tonight. Yes, we could have scored TDs, but @Lions played too well to have the game end this way. #DETvsGB@espn
I know that no one on the @lions can say it, so I will... that is a terrible missed call, on hands to the face and bad break for our D that is playing so hard. #replayhelpneeded
