The world isn't over? It was really just a calender that just flipped over after a long time? That seems a lot simpler that getting a free calendar in the mail every year.
First and foremost, there is none greater than Jerry Rice.... but Megatron is sure making a case to become at least an equal.
The 2nd to last game of the season had Calvin Johnson chasing NFL history while on a losing team. The Lions played the Falcons in Detroit and Calvin made sure the overall disappointed fans got history tonight. Johnson caught 11 balls for 225 receiving yards which helped Calvin pass the G.O.A.T. Jerry Rice for receiving yards in a single season. Rice had 1848 receiving yards in 1995 while Megatron now has 1892 receiving yards this season. The Falcons would still get the win despite the record 31-18.
Congrats to Johnson for breaking ONE of Jerry's many records.While Jerry might never be caught in most of the records he holds, it certainly says something about Calvin for breaking just one of them. Megatron has been on fire this season fantasy wise. Too bad that Fantasy Football means nothing (that's right, Van, nothing) as the Lions are 4-11 this year. Meanwhile the Falcons are 13-2 and have just clinched the #1 seed in the NFC which gives them home field advantage throughout the playoffs. It's a pity that doesn't come with a nitro boost to give you momentum like the team that actually wins the Super Bowl.
Anyway, Johnson might not be done yet. Now that he has broken this record, he has a chance to take it to over 2000 yards and really raise the bar for the next guy.
P.S. Now if you don't mind I have to try and get my money back on a deposit for a bunker that I never used.
