A psychological disorder in which an athlete is an excellent player on a team that fails to find any scrap of success. Named after Barry Sanders, an NFL running back who played his entire 10-year career with the woefully horrible atrocious Detroit Lions.

Example: Josh Gordon of the Cleveland Browns may be suffering from Barry Sanders Syndrome, as he is the only player on that team with a clue!

I'm going to pull a Barry Sanders and stop running track since I won the conference meet.

Serial Monogamist

Someone who jumps from one relationship immediately into another one.

Serial monogamists can not stand to be alone and often suffer from vast commitment and insecurity issues.

Because they jump into relationships immediately after the previous one has ended, serial monogamists typically don't take the time to reflect on their behavior or why their previous relationships failed; thus, they end up making the same relationship mistakes over and over again.

Person 1: Damn, Dustin already has a new girlfriend?! It's only been two weeks since he broke up with his fiance! I think he's a sociopath.

Person 2: No, he's a serial monogamist...
