Calvin Johnson is stiff arming his way into retirement. I feel bad for Detroit Lions fans. For the second time in twenty years, they are going to lose their best player to early retirement. First it was Barry Sanders retiring in the prime of his career in 1999 and now its Calvin Johnson. Both put up monster numbers in a Lions uniform, especially Sanders. Both also inexplicably walked away. No…
Doc’s Daily Rants for March 8th 2016
Lee something or other might not be a superstar but he’s a good fit on the Bruins. 1. Lee Stempniak doesn’t seem like a bad pick up after all does he Bruins fans? I’m telling you right now. The Bruins can win a round in the playoffs. The east is top heavy. They are just as good as any team in the conference outside of Washington. 2. I’ve it before…
Doc’s Daily Blurb: Who’s Kidding Who? Maria Sharapova Cheated! (Video)
Maria Sharapova cheated! PERIOD! I know she’s playing the “I didn’t know what I was taking was illegal” card but she cheated. Its not like this is the first time she’s been busted cheating. She’s been caught before. The fact that she went up to that podium yesterday and played “Little Miss I Didn’t Know” doesn’t mean shit! There’s a reason Nike has suspended their relationship with her yesterday and…
So What If This Cop Took a Peek at Miesha Tate? What’s the Big Deal? (GIF)
View post on imgur.com I can’t believe this GIF has gone viral. Is it really a big deal that this cop was checking out Miesha Tate at last week’s weight in? He’s a guy! What’s he suppose to do? Not look? Come on. People are way too sensitive nowadays. Its really not a big deal! Give the guy a break. Just because he gave her the side check out doesn’t…
Idiot of the Day: DeAngelo Williams
What the hell was Williams thinking? He sends out a stupid ass tweet like this on the day Manning retires? Really? I wonder if it has anything to do with the broncos beating the Steelers in the playoffs? Come on man. Don’t be sour grapes. I don’t have a problem with his opinion, its the timing of it. Williams is a classy guy. He should know better than that. At…
Brock Osweiler is Smarter Than He Looks. (Video)
Hey, I give Osweiler credit for not fighting back. He could have easily pushed the guy back and caused a scene but to his credit, he realized he has a lot of money at stake on a potential new deal, so he didn’t fight back. I don’t blame him. I’d rather have one guy and his buddies think I’m a pussy and have $60 million dollars then to fight back…
ESPN Cuts Feed When Peyton Manning is Asked About Sexual Allegations. (Video)
Two things. One: Why would the reporter ask Manning that question during his retirement press conference? Wrong place, wrong time as far as I’m concerned. Two: Why did ESPN cut the feed? Do they have a deal in place with Manning for him to do television? It made no sense. The media really is stupid. I don’t get it. No wonder most people revile ESPN.

Ole Miss’ Laremy Tunsil has franchise left tackle potential. Its been a week since the combine and now that I have evaluated all of the numbers and each players performance, here is my first of four first round mock drafts. 1.
