Why the LIons need to re-sign MEGATRON

Calvin Johnson is an absoulute freak. He can do things on the football field that no one else in the universe can do. He stands 6'5" and weighs close to 240 lbs. In 2011 he led the league or was near the top in almost every statistical category a WR can be in. I believe he is the most valuable asset the Lions have at the moment besides maybe Stafford. With that said, his contract is supposed to run out at the end of the 2012 season, the Lions can not let him walk and should resign him before this season.

Calvin will be looking for the highest contract in NFL history ever given to a reciever which is cause for concern, and could make it hard for the Lions to make other moves with the new salary cap. Although this is something to consider, Calvin is a game changer and I dont believe we can reach the top and win a superbowl without him. So I say pay the man and lets not fall back to the same old Lions that cant even make the playoffs.

There are many pieces in place now, and Calvin is in the prime of his career. We need to lock him down and keep this Stafford-Calvin connection alive for atleast 8 more years. I said the guy is a freak on the football field and if you dont believe me click on the video to see Megatron in action from this past year.

LINSANITY!

Jeremy Lin has takin the NBA by storm. He is an Asian American superstar that has stolen the spotlight of the NBA season and has scored the most points in his first 6 starts ever, as an undrafted free-agent who was sleeping on his brothers couch a week ago and has been cut by 2 teams. How has he gone un-noticed?...

First off he attended Harvard University which is not exactly known for their pro athletes. Another reason he has been looked past is his Asian decent. There has only been one other Asian player that made any noise in the NBA and that was a 7'6" Yao Ming. Lin is getting alot of looks nowadays; stores cant keep his jersey in stock, he dominates ESPN headlines everyday, and he blows up twitter every time he takes the court.

This is a great story and it is hard to ignore the hype. Lin is a solid player and I think his emergence is due to hard work and determination not to give up. He solitifies the statement "dont judge a book by its cover" and is paving the way for more Asian players and all people that have been judged and looked over before.

What Happens to Peyton?

Peyton Manning is without a doubt a Hall of Fame Quarterback, a once in generation player that has had a wonderful run at the helm of the Colts. With that said, I believe he should part ways with the Colts and join a new team. Incase you didn't know Peyton sat out this past season with a major neck injury and many people have said that he will retire, his team went a pitifull 2-14 without him. He has now been medically cleared by two doctors to return.



Andrew Luck

 There are many reasons why he should not return to the Colts. The first is that the Colts are horrible there is not enough talent around Peyton anymore to even have a chance at another superbowl. Also the Colts are in rebuilding mode, Peyton is 35 and they have fired their general manager and entire coaching staff. Peyton is due a 28 million dollar roster bonus in early march and the Colts have the 1st pick in this years NFL draft. I think they will cut Peyton, save the money, and draft Andrew Luck with that pick.

This move will be a sad one but also a beneficial one for both parties. The Colts need to move on with their franchise and try to rebuild it. And Peyton could have maybe 3 to 4 years left of elite quarterback play. Some possible landing spots for Peyton could be Tennesse, San Fransisco, or the New York Jets. I hope Peyton can come back to full strength and win atleast one more super bowl, i mean he cant let his little bro have bragging rights forever, can he?
