Calvin Johnson, the fourth-year pro and former No. 2 overall pick out of Georgia Tech, just completed his second 1,000-plus-yard, 12-touchdown season in the league. Beloved by Lions fans and fantasy football enthusiasts worldwide, Johnson has emerged as one of the league's top receivers, a star by anyone's standards. Well, anyone not named Al Davis. Davis, owner of the Oakland Raiders and leading curmudgeon of the NFL, spilled his feelings about Johnson in a recent press conference. When asked about the success of the Raiders' two most recent drafts, Davis responded: I think we've been very successful the last four. I think we're always pretty good. The thing that hurt, is the question someone asked, JaMarcus (Russell) hurt a great deal. But the ones they wanted to take instead of JaMarcus, Brady Quinn, hasn't played yet. There was some talk of Calvin Johnson. But you can take a look at Calvin up at Detroit. How many games did they win this year, Detroit, do you know? Six? Yeah. But up until now, Calvin hadn't done anything for them. Source: NFL Fanhouse
