Calvin Johnson was inducted into Canton yesterday.
“Lions fans and city of Detroit, when we were 0-16 you never stopped showing up," Johnson said. "You were disappointed, but you never stopped showing up. Every week, you showed up. And this motivated me to do the same thing for you. You loved me and my family unconditionally over these 15 years. I want you to know Michigan is our home, Detroit is our city and Lions fans are our pride."
A warrior who played through injuries repeatedly, he earned this moment.
He deserved a shot at a ring, but playing your career with the Lions rules that out.
Anyway, good to see.

Be reasonably civil. Ire alloyed with reason is fine. But slagging the host gets you the banhammer.
