Detroit Lions Legend Barry Sanders Signs Urinal, Fans Puts It on eBay

The Pontiac Silverdome closed its doors after hosting the Detroit Lions from 1975-2001, and items from the stadium like chairs—and, yes, urinals—went up for auction last March.

Former Lions legend Barry Sanders made one thing clear—he wasn’t putting ink to the latter:

He reneged on that promise in September after a super-dedicated Lions fan bought himself a john, among other items, and took it to one of Sanders’ autograph signings.

Here’s how said fan, eBay user mgk086, described his encounter with the running back:

"

After a long wait, I reached the table with Barry and I uncovered the urinal telling him it was from his old locker room. He responded “Are you for real?” I said “Yes, will you sign it?” Barry said “I refuse” and after a short pause he laughed and said “No problem, where should I sign?” While signing and taking pictures, a man with Barry (I assume his agent) laughed and said “Hey Barry, last time you saw that thing you were taking a p**s in it.” Barry was extremely nice about it and it was a great experience.

"

Who cares that thousands of NFL players have urinated on that thing? Barry Sanders wrote his name on it, so therefore it's priceless.
