Breaking news at ESPN. So I guess it's true.
Pretty damn surprised if you ask me. I'd figure another season or two and Detroit could be in the playoffs conversation. However, I do believe that someone will make him an offer he can't refuse and he'll hook on with another team down the road. |

My initial reaction was that Megatron won't make the HOF because he didn't play long enough. But then again most people have Hines Ward going to the HOF and Megatron only has 2 less TD and around 400 fewer years in 5 less seasons.
I think he's going in eventually. It just might take a while for the logjam to clear up. |

Calvin Johnson has always seemed like a really smart person and after all that he's done and been through, it's probably a really smart decision for him to retire.

Yeah, he does. Any player who retires with time left on their contract officially goes on a reserve list and the team retains rights to the player. A couple of years after Barry retired his agents asked the Lions to trade or release him, which suggested that he wanted to come out of retirement but play for a different team. The Lions refused, so he stayed retired.
Tiki Barber sat out 4 seasons after retiring and when he filed reinstatement papers the Giants had to release him. |

I'll never forget getting a Tiki home jersey to replace my tattered Shockey jersey, and then the very next week he announced his impending retirement. I figured it was no biggie, I could still wear it since he was their best RB ever. Then he became a huge asshole and I replaced it with a Justin Tuck jersey after SB42 that I've been rocking ever since.
Speaking of which...he retired today. Great career. Probably will go into the Giants Ring of Honor fairly quickly. |

Why is Tiki coming out of retirement an asshole move? Did he plow the Giants or something?

Nah it's not that. Pretty much the second he retired he went into bitter mode. Said Coughlin was a terrible coach and that Eli would never be capable of winning the big one. Then the Giants won the Super Bowl the next year without him.
More importantly though, he cheated on his wife (who was 8 months pregnant with twins) with a young NBC intern. He got fired and I'm pretty sure he only came out of retirement because she took all of his money in divorce and child support proceedings. |

Browns confirmed Johnny Manziel is getting the dropped the moment they are allowed by league offseason rules. Also the actual report of his recent alleged assault charges is really bad.

If Goodell wants to score some points, don't let him back in the league when the Browns dump him.

Yeah but he's like Bill Clinton post-Monica now. Anything good he does will be either called distraction or just making up for being terrible. Manziel will be banned by not being able to get a contract to be a QB anywhere.
Johnny Foolsball is finished. |

There is only one solution. He's suspended indefinitely until a team agrees to sign him to a deal. All of the pressure will be on the team and Johnny and not the Commish. No team will want to do that so he'll be finished.
If he comes back to the NFL he has to be known as John. Johnny is dead. |

According to a recent Washington Post reports, a spokesman from Peyton Manning's side allegedly admitted that roids were shipped to Peyton's house but still claims they were just for his wife.
The bigger piece of the report is allegations about Manning's private investigators intimidating the accuser's parents prior to the Al Jazzera report going public. Also claims that Mannings's investigators falsely claimed they were police as the reason for their visit. The accuser himself wasn't at the scene but denied it happened. Reports have teased a big reason he recanted his claims was due to fears of lawsuits from players and Al Jazzera failed to protect him as a source. Quote:

Texans & Raiders will be playing a MNF game south of the border in Mexico City next season.
First time NFL played a game there since 2005 when Cardinals & 49ers played. |

At least they will have two ,500 teams. Unlike London getting super shitty games their first two years before anything decent.

The Johnny Rehab saga in the last 24 hours:
His agent dumps him as a client. His family wanted him to go to rehab but he said "No No Nooooooooo" Ex-girlfriend has filed criminal charges against him and police are now investigating. |

Its amazing how you can have everything one day and the next nothing. His family should have stepped in awhile ago when this started developing in his youth.

ESPN had some insight on this year's Hall voting and in terms of times for debates/decisions, Eddie DeBartolo needed the longest at 50 minutes and Brett Farve needed the shortest at 19 seconds for both to get final ballot approval.
Took over 43 minutes of debating for the voters to decide against Terrell Owens for this year's class. His bad behavior reputation played a big role in not getting picked for the final ballot. Also confirms the unwritten rule of no more than 1 guy per position per class. http://espn.go.com/blog/cleveland//p...me-voting-room |

There really isn't a statistical measure out there that would support Harrison going in over Owens, but Harrison was waiting longer. That's just how it is. |
