Calvin Johnson Breaks Jerry Rice's Single-Season Receiving Yards Record

With 225 yards on 11 catches, tonight Calvin Johnson surpassed Jerry Rice (1,848) and became the new single-season receiving yards record holder. Currently, Johnson has 1,892, but with one more game left in the season, he has a shot to be the first receiver to ever crack 2,000 yards in a season (he just needs 108 more yards, if you didn't want to do the math yourself).

Question: Does this mean the Madden Curse is now dead?

Random News Shit: Misc. NFL News Edition

1) Rex Grossman Thinks Redskins Will Win NFC East
Forget blood testing for steroids, how about one for illegal drugs because Rexy was definitely on something potent when he made this statement.

In all seriousness, unlike most, I'm not even mad at him for saying it. I mean, what is he supposed to say, "It's clear we're the 4th best team in our division, so I'm just gonna hammer these game checks and maybe we'll have some talent next year"? No, he'd be getting killed by all the football analysts that are laughing at him right now. Of course Washington would be lucky to win 5 games this season, Rex knows that, but he obviously can't say it to reporters.

(Side note: Speaking of the NFC East, everybody seems to think Philadelphia winning is a foregone conclusion, but I'd caution them to remember the Cowboys haven't gone anywhere.)

2) Clay Matthews Says He Played 2nd Half Of 2010 With Broken Leg
Okay, I'm gonna have to go ahead and call bullshit on this story, this is almost more ridiculous than Rexy saying the Skins would win the East. I'm willing to believe he played hurt, but a broken leg? Nigga please.

3) Channing Crowder Retires At 27
He didn't want to not play for the Dolphins, so he retired? Damn, what would've happened if he got drafted by the Bills instead?

Regardless, this nigga must be out of his rabbit ass mind if he wants us to believe a budding radio career and wanting to spend time with his family is even 1% of the reason he's calling it quits. That shit had NOTHING to do with it. He's just butt hurt about being cut from the Fins and I expect him to be back eventually.

4) Ray Lewis May Retire If Ravens Win It All
Welp, I guess the Ray Lewis won't be retiring anytime soon.

5) Bill Parcells, Jerry Rice Joining ESPN
I understand Bill Parcells, but Jerry Rice? I can't remember ever caring about or being entertained by anything Jerry Rice ever said, but oh well, it's ESPN's money, not mine.

6) Undrafted Free Agent Jimmy Young Carries Roy Williams' Pads
Good job Roy, get the undrafted free agent rookie to carry your pads, not the first round stud who's going to take your job. Who knows, maybe he'd still be in Dallas had he not tried someone who is greater than him? Oh well, I'm just glad his ol' fuck ass is gone.

Random News Shit: Last Days Of The NFL Season Edition

1) Freeney Misses Final Colts' Practice, Wayne Back
All week everybody has been talking about Dwight Freeney and will he play, or won't he, and I have yet to hear anybody bring up DeMarcus Ware. What does D. Ware have to do with this game?? Sadly, nothing, well besides the fact that back in Week 15 he dominated the Saints offensive line while only playing 3rd downs and 6 days removed from a sprained neck.

Yeah, they are 2 totally different injuries, but if Ware can make an impact after being carted off on a stretcher 6 days earlier, I don't see why Freeney can't be effective in this game today, even if he's limited.

Now, as far as Reggie Wayne goes, its good for the Colts that they have him back out there. Without Reggie out there drawing so much attention, it'd be harder for the Austin Collies and Pierre Garcons of the world to get open.

2) Joey Porter Wants Out Of Miami
Well this sucks for the Dolphins. It also seems dumb to me. I don't even know what to say, but I'd love to have him in Dallas.

3) Warren Sapp Arrested & Charged With Domestic Battery
Super Bowl weekend in Miami just isn't the same without a few arrests. We all knew it was just a matter of time, but it finally happened. I thought it'd be an active player, but this is well enough.

Anyway, details are pretty sketchy still, but we do know this: Warren Sapp was arrested and charged with domestic battery for allegedly choking some lady out in his hotel room, and has since been released on $1,500 bond. Warren has also been removed from the NFL Network's coverage team until the investigation is over (aka he got fired and not only won't you see him on the panel today, but he won't be there next season either). Sucks for him, but he's got to be smarter than to put himself into these kinda situations.

4) Browns To Release Donte' Stallworth Upon Reinstatement
Speaking of having to be smarter than to put yourselves in these kinda situation (especially in Miami), Donte' Stallworth will be reinstated at some point today by Roger Goodell. When that happens, the Browns organization says he'll need to find a new team to call a disgrace to play for, because he's getting released!

Stallworth is still relatively young (29) so I also wouldn't mind having him in Dallas. Its not gonna happen, but I'd take him and his run-after-the-catch abilities over Roy Williams and his run-before-the-catch abilities.

5) Pat Bowlen Wants Brandon Marshall Back Next Season
Makes sense, he's a game-breaking receiver and is still only 25 years-old. Yeah, he can be a headache at times, but fuck it, you traded away his quarterback so deal with it.

6) Jerry Rice & Emmitt Smith Headline 7-Man Hall Of Fame Class
Here's the list: Jerry Rice, Emmitt Smith, G Russ Grimm, LB Rickey Jackson, CB Dick LeBeau, RB Floyd Little, and DT John Randle. Its about time they put Dick LeBeau through, ain't he about 84 now??
