You have to go back to 1985. You have to choose to become a diehard Lions or Clippers fan. Which do you pick and why?
Lions... 16 games of suck is a lot better than 82.

Why?
From what I was reading it sounds like he's just tired of being hurt all the time. Supposedly his ankles swell up after each game and his fingers are gnarled to shit.

Wow... sounds awful. He's got money. Who could blame him?

What the? I don't think age is making him ineffective a la Andre Johnson yet. Playing in Detroit must suck.

Maybe he needs time off and will come back in a year or so?
Of course, we thought the same thing with Barry too.

Drew Magary won't have to think very hard when he does 2016's "Why Your Team Sucks" writeup for the Lions.

The issue isn't football effectiveness... the issue is everything else... he's tired of hurting all the time, and he doesn't want his brain turning to mush...
So, run, Calvin, run... while you can still remember where you're going and why...
