CALVIN JOHNSON RUMORS

Crabtree to Niners

If Michael Crabtree is in the same category as Calvin Johnson the Niners have gotten incredible value at #10. They really lucked out having Crabtree fall this far as they need a #1 receiver. HIs ankle injury probably had something to do with his slight drop but he's a heck of a player. The only concern with him is the offence he played in as Texas Tech is a prolific offense to...

If You Read This Blog, It’s Not A Surprise: Lions Sign Matt Stafford to a 6 Year Deal

Welcome the new face of the franchise, Matt Stafford.  I’m torn.  A Wide Receiver can’t be the face of the franchise, its just not the position for that. Even Jerry Rice wasn’t really the face of the frachises he was on. And Randy Moss was front page news for all the wrong reasons. But is this “the guy” or the best “guy” at this time and...

The Detroit Lions : 2009 NFL Expansion Team

You could have the best coaching staff in the universe, but they can't get wins if the talent sucks. And our talent sucks. Like I mentioned prior, we are an expansion team right now. We have Calvin Johnson and two 1st round picks. I want to know who is going to do the grocery shopping, that is my primary concern because I have such little faith in the Lions ability to draft....

Time for a Rest

Hey guys, what's up in the yard this morning? I have to say that I am a very tired man today. The Mann Cup ended Tuesday night with a 9-6 win over New West, and the bumps, bruises and partying is taking its toll today!!! It sure was the crowing moment of an unforgettable summer for me. It is time for me to start teaching, and recover for a little while?my body needs a rest...

Hooters and athletes galore!

When I was maybe 13, my Mom found an "adult" magazine under my bed. She rambled on and on about responsibility and how there's more to life than girls and blah blah blah, were you saying something, Mom? Times have changed, and today my responsibilities include being at Hooters for hours on end. How's that for irony? Truth is, I wouldn't have minded sleeping...

The Trials and Tribulations of Genarlow Wilson

When I read that Genarlow Wilson was not being released from prison, I began to cry. Wilson was a star in the classroom and highly-regarded prep football player in Georgia who held Detroit Lions first round draft choice Calvin Johnson to four receptions in two games. Most prominent in his box of football recruiting letters were the ones from the Ivies: Brown and Columbia. He was...

The Monkey Mock Draft

The NFL draft is less than 2 weeks away and it's time to see if a monkey is smarter than Mel Kiper and all the other draft "experts". The guys at Cold, Hard, Football Facts.com have asked a monkey to draw names from a hat and then recorded the results. Most interesting picks, the monkey says the Lions will take WR Dwayne Boye of LSU and Calvin Johnson goes to the...

Why running backs are a much better Top-5 pick than other positions

Draft people are saying the Raiders should take Calvin Johnson #1 overall should look at the history of Top-5 WRs versus Top-5 RBs. It's much easier to find a productive WR in the later rounds than a RB. Look at the impact the 1st round RBs had last year compared to the 1st round WRs.
