Another week, another rough story for the Detroit Lions. It’s been a tough offseason for the organization. First, we learned former employees filed suit against the team, alleging racist and ageist practices. Then the Matt Patricia sexual assault allegations came to light. And this weekend, Calvin Johnson reignited the conflict between the All-Star receiver and the team.
Johnson specifically pointed to president Rod Wood as the source of many of his frustrations, claiming that upon hearing of Johnson’s retirement, Wood’s very first reaction was (paraphrasing), “What about our money?”
The PODcast is all over the Johnson story this week, asking, once again, if all this negative press was really worth the $1 million+ they eventually recouped from Johnson.
