I would like to summarize Calvin Johnson’s latest behavior in my opinion with one word. Sad. Trust and believe ladies and gentlemen that once you get to the level of fame that Calvin has achieved, very little of what you have to say is “off the cuff”. Rather life itself becomes somewhat of a performance and everything that you say is very calculated, and in the case of Calvin and the Detroit Lions, very cold.

It’s sad that Calvin Johnson put over NFL Quarterbacks Derek Carr, Aaron Rodgers and NFL Hall of Fame member and Detroit Lion killer Brett Favre when asked who he would like to play with. Those answers are meant to hurt the Detroit Lions organization and Detroit Lions fans. Why you ask? Simple. Derek Carr has been compared to Matthew Stafford all offseason long due to looming contract extensions and I need not explain why talking highly of Packer quarterbacks would hurt the Detroit Lions and Detroit Lions fans. It’s meant to sting and to further his agenda, the big top circus. More on that later.

Let’s move on to how Calvin also put down the city of Detroit. The theme again? Sad. Sadly the city of Detroit has been a laughingstock for a long long time. Newsflash, we already know the perception of the city Calvin, no one needed your opinion. And it’s sad and unnecessary that you talked badly about the city. Especially because it was only mentioned to sting (once again) and for you to further your agenda, the Calvin Johnson big top circus of “look at me”. People around the world make fun of the city of Detroit without having ever stepped foot in it. And although unfair and misguided at least they believe it. You did it solely to try and hurt the Detroit Lions organization and to try and hurt the Detroit Lions fans. Detroit vs Everybody? Never thought Calvin Johnson would join the everybody team. But let’s keep going.

How about my favorite?

At the very important Italian Bowl XXXVII, Calvin Johnson had the following to say.

“I was stuck in my contract with Detroit, and they told me, they would not release my contract, so I would have to come back to them, I didn’t see the chance for them to win a Super Bowl at the time, and for the work I was putting in, it wasn’t worth my time to keep on beating my head against the wall and not going anywhere.”

Yikes. Lie much? I thought you left football due to your health? Actually I never believed that but I digress. Mostly because I have no respect for a liar. But now I truly digress. Let’s hit another subject within this quote. The work you were putting in. Okay, fair enough. Except for the fact that Calvin Johnson barely practiced in what? The last two or three seasons that he participated in? But hold off on the “work” he put in for a few more moments.

Let’s hit the whole no hope to win a Superbowl thing. How about two years ago when the Detroit Lions were 11-5? Maybe make a few more plays in the playoff game Calvin. If you do that maybe you are a few more minutes, and when it comes to the NFL Playoffs, precious minutes closer to the Superbowl. How are you not “close” when you’re in the playoffs? Go ahead and trash that train of thought while I go back and hit Calvin and his “work” to close us out.

Your body of work is easy to summarize Calvin Johnson. Zero playoff wins while being paid an INCREDIBLE amount of money to do just that. But more than that, let’s look at one big statistic. 0-16. You’re buddies Carr, Rodgers and Favre, they were never a part of 0-16. The quarterback you ignored, Matthew Stafford never took part in 0-16. You Calvin Johnson, you took part in 0-16. So how great was your work? Maybe you should’ve bashed your head harder into the wall because it seems to me that you may need to have some sense knocked into you. If you truly left The Lions because you didn’t think they were good enough, you should be smart enough to blame yourself largely for that and to realize that the reason they weren’t good enough was because you weren’t a good enough player to help the team win games.

Those are my thoughts. Detroit vs Calvin Johnson and Everybody.
