Interview
Tony SchefflerCalvin Johnson is officially retired and will not return to the NFL
I do [think he is officially retired]. After the beating that he's taken... I just think he made enough money. And the NFL is getting to a point where people are realizing how brutal it is... I'm sure after watching a year of it, like I did my first year out, he'll realize he wants no part of that.
Tony SchefflerMatthew Stafford is not an upper-caliber quarterback who can win a championship
I never did gel with Stafford, and it is what it is. I don't think he's a great quarterback. He's not on that upper caliber quarterback that's going to take you to a championship. Or going to beat a winning team.
People Forget That
PFT CommenterConor McGregor's retirement tweet was a brilliant marketing move to generate buzz

It's basically the list of people who have made the state of Minnesota cool are like Kirby Puckett, Kevin Garnett, and Prince. That's it.
Big CatThe pinnacle of celebrity status is when nobody makes jokes about your death on Twitter
That's when you know you've made it. Like, Prince died. Everyone is really sad... Prince is no jokes. There are no jokes. David Bowie was the same way. You don't do jokes when Prince dies. So that's really, like, the pinnacle of celebrity is people don't joke about your death.
Big CatTiger Woods loses his 'man card' for needing his dad to teach him how to drink water between beers
Tiger Woods, I'm taking your man card, first of all... Asking your dad to teach you how to drink a beer because you puked at a fricking frat party once? Man card again. How many times can I take this man card?
