His Twitter profile declares himself a “longtime Boston sports reporter and know-it-all.” This guy can get fucked.

No trust me, scoring a touchdown in Aussie football is way harder, so much so that it’s never been done.

No I’m really not whining, or getting defensive, or whatever you’re using to try to construct an internet argument. Pointing out that you are stating the obvious and that it doesn’t undermine anything I said is not getting defensive.

I’m not stupid. I know how unions work. He signed a contract, he didn’t want to play for the Lions, he couldn’t get out of it, they wouldn’t trade him, so he retired. And now some people are butthurt because he signed the contract and wouldn’t play for them. What straw man argument are you even trying to rally behind?

So then if Calvin Johnson doesn’t like it, he should just retire.

Absolutely not true, if he started getting hampered by injuries or his play fell off he would almost certainly be cut or forced to renegotiate his contract during those later years.

OK, I have been enlightened. I think everyone realizes it’s a motivational quote and not the actual dictionary definition of the word insanity. Also more importantly, it’s an apt descriptor of how the Lions front office has operated for decades.

And he’s saying he would have risked the damage if it looked like he had a snowball’s chance in hell of a Super Bowl ring.

This is where you re-read the part of the article where it says he’s locked in his contract but the team can cut him any time. Yes, he agreed to that contract but if the Lions had buyer’s remorse, they had a means to get out of it but he didn’t, so stop demanding that he HONOR HIS CONTRACT.

Look if someone said it was “LITERALLY the definition of insanity,” I’d be right there beside you with the pitchforks, but it’s an Einstein quote, guy. And I don’t know you, but I think he might be smarter than you.

Holy shit, I didn’t realize Calvin Johnson NEVER practiced. Imagine how good he could have been if he did!

Takes me nine minutes to type 50 words...

It’s almost like if you make millions of dollars, you can spend millions of dollars and also have millions of dollars illegally stolen from you at the same time...

Called it!

Some Cardinals fan will pipe in that Cueto cleated their backup catcher in the face during a brawl between the Reds and Cardinals, but his Instagram is a national treasure that proves he is an awesome, laid-back dude, plus who hasn’t wanted to cleat a Cardinals player in the face?

I’m not that impressed. Other than the apostrophe it’s pretty much spelled like it sounds.

This two party system is great if a) all of your beliefs happen to align exactly with those trumpeted by the Republican or Democratic party, or b) you believe very strongly about one issue, and are perfectly content to allow your beliefs on all other issues to be dictated by what side of the fence you end up on.

Sure, this is a victory for Snyder and all, but you didn’t even mention how huge this is for “Big Titty Blend” Coffee

Come on, guys, isn’t it punishment enough that this guy has to BE Zack Hample?

Are we really surprised? Primanti Brothers thought that not serving fish for a week when the Steelers were about to play the Dolphins (not a fish) was a sick own.
