As is their habit, been doin' it for decades,

. That's what makes the Saints better then the Lions, they seized their opportunity and did something with it.

Dude, this guy is the epitome of a professional athlete. I've said it before, NFL rookies should have to go to "Calvin" school before entering the league. Off the field, he was pretty private, but you always saw him at the community events, et ... I would go to war with Calvin & that's about the highest compliment I can give any man,

Great point! The only thing I ever had against Barry Sanders was the way he retired the day before or the day of training camp, via voice mail/text or whatever. Calvin is one of the Greats,

Well, technically he's still thinking about it, but when it's official (not "if"), I probably will take a few days off to mourn,

. If he goes to another team though, the "watch" is on,
