Calvin Johnson retiring.

[SteamWhistle]

 

[BuzzStone]

He has his money and he has his health. One of the best to ever play the game and I wish him all the best.

 

[FightWinDrink]

Disappointing but understandable if it ends up happening. Will miss seeing him play. Wish he could have played for a contender before retirement

 

[DvilleJacket]

Hope he finishes school and we offer him a coaching job. That should sway some recruits to have megaton as your positions coach!

That would be awesome. Don't know if he would have an interest but goodness know he know what the position requires!

One of the best yellow jackets ever he was special

I will hate the Detroit Lions for the rest of my life for wasting #21's career.

I would retire 2 if I had to deal with Stafford

Stafford and Johnson are really good friends I've heard. One of the few dwags I can stomach.

I get it. Stafford ... stomach ... good one

 

[awbuzz]

He's battled enough injuries as it is and is thinking "long run". Good for him, not just chasing a few (okay millions) of extra dollars when he knows he is financially set for life.

You must be a big fan of Corky from Life Goes On!

Calvin will play more NFL games.

Best news of the day. He is coming back to finish his degree. Smart guy, his life's work may be his philanthropic foundation.

Damn hard to find heroes like CJ these days.

I hope he did some internships for a construction company during the offseason the last 9 years. I hear those construction management jobs are pretty competitive these days. Better have a good answer for the interviewers when they ask "So, why did it take you 9 years to graduate? What have you been doing since you left GT?"

Might as well hate Chan as well... Lol

 

[Whiskey_Clear]

That article about Cslvin getting his degree is a helluva recruiting pitch.

I grew up as a huge fan of Barry Sanders and still hold a grudge against them for what they did to him. I always feared Calvin would suffer the same fate under that horrible, horrible franchise, now it looks like that's coming true. If only the Raiders had drafted him instead of Jamarcus, except they probably wouldn't have been any better for him.

I agree. Must be rough being a Detroit fan, having 2 of the best of all times at their position retire "early".
