Hell, I dare anyone to call Steve Smith a diva, he might kill someone. BTW - Calvin Johnson was absolutely NOT a diva. Probably the epitome of class and "talk softly but carry a big stick" at WR.

I thought this was a sarcasm post with how absurd it sounded, but it appears you are legitimately trying to argue this.. If you take someone else's cleats to prove your are the fastest, it shows you are a great competitor not a diva. He owes the Lions nothing. His health is much more important than playing a few more seasons, and proves nothing of him having a diva attitude. Several talented players retired young. Tiki Barber, Barry Sanders, Robert Smith, Patrick Willis come to mind. None of them are guys I consider divas for retiring before their bodies gave out.

IMO, a diva is someone who puts their own interests above the team to the point where it becomes a major distraction. In that regard, the only two full blown divas on that list are TO and Moss,. Guys like Antonio Brown and Steve Smith had diva moments....but I wouldnt call them divas in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If his definition of "elite" is narrow enough and his definition of "diva" is broad enough, then he can make the specious claim that the great majority of elite WRs in the last 18 years have been divas.

Calvin did not use someone else's shoes to run the 40 the shoes were Calvin's he lent them to James Pinkney and Pinkney was simply returning the shoes, both Calvin and Pinkney have confirmed this multiple times.
