Dad’s Take on Calvin Johnson

Look at this guy posing like he's some kind of superhero with those ridiculous blue flame effects – what is this, a comic book? And they're comparing him to an actual lion when he looks more like someone who spends too much time at the hair salon than prowling the savanna. Back in my day, football cards just showed players catching footballs, not floating around in some fantasy fire show!

About Calvin Johnson

It was one bomb after another. In Week 8 of 2013, Johnson laid waste to the Dallas secondary. After his first catch went for 87 yards, the superstar couldn't be stopped. He finished his day with 14 grabs and 329 receiving yards — the second-best single-game total in NFL history behind Flipper Anderson's 336-yard day in 1989.

If given the choice between this Lion and an actual lion, defenders might prefer to tangle with the king of the jungle. They're not going to get either to the ground but at least the fearsome feline isn't likely to posterize you by pulling in a contested catch on a 50-yard heave down the sideline.
