Selfish prick

That's a lot of money for the 2nd best WR in the NFL.

I love it... When the Cards gave Larry his contract, the entire media thought the Cards were crazy for "giving a WR that much money". Detroit gives Calvin a more lucrative contract, yet it's lauded as a "good move". The media hates AZ; not our fault we have the best weather in America and the best looking women...keep hating media.

More importantly for Calvin, he has a QB who can throw the ball to where he can catch it.
