Megatron on Hall of Fame career, losing seasons in Detroit, cannabis & retiring early | The Pivot

Having two once-in-a-generation talents on your team, In Barry Sanders and Calvin Johnson, who both retired early despite being first-ballot Hall of Famers, is a clear failure of the front office. It’s great to see that the Lions are doing much better now.

I don’t think there’s a such thing as retiring early when you’ve already made millions.

Calvin Johnson will always be a Detroit Legend because He stayed, he could of left but he stayed

Gotta get lebron James on the pod

GOAT Receiver

Salute to the Pivot!! Shoutout to Megatron!!

Marijuana IS a drug.

For years I wished Willie Clay would sell the team to someone who cared! Thank God he didn't, we just had to wait for his daughter, Sheila!! Brought winners and love to the Lions!! Been a fan since they drafted Billy Sims. Thanks for having Calvin on!! Please invite more Detoiters!!

I'm 67 years old. Been a smoker, and a drinker most of my life. Alcohol is much more dangerous than pot. Pot simply puts ya in a good mood. Alcohol can put ya in a routy mood. I came to Texas in 2010. Damn Michigan legalized Marijuana after I left!! Love Calvin, he's truly a class act!! Really should have more Detroiters on this show!! 😃

He deserved more than Detroit

My Favorite Wide Receiver to play in the league! He should had gotten a 2nd chance to win a championship like Matthew Stafford!

He might be my favorite receiver of all time just cause of how chill he is.

I love this mug man he still wearing repping the D even after retirement. Megatron the GOAT

One of the greatest lions of all time! In alot of times of season after season of not much im glad i got to watch him play! He was honestly damn there unstoppable! One of the only receivers ive seen with 2 men on him from the line

He literally is a rambling wreck from Georgia Tech and a helluva engineer!!!

👍🏻🦁🏈

Bam bam kam talk about nick names

Get a Seahawks player current or old player

When I meet Calvin Johnson I need his signature I got a picture of him catching over the vikings players

The goat for real

Megatron and Revis Island are my favorite nfl nicknames.

Megatron— BlackMamba

Parents can be corny as hell Sometimes, that's a grown a** man making money from the money that he earned 420

I grew up in Boy Scouts and him and his mother always donated scholarships to the boy scouts through their non profit. Lol crazy as it sounds I saw him 3 years straight and he even brought Matthew Stafford one year. Literally one of the best players ever just hanging out with us. Wow wow wow

BRO COME BACK!!!!!! COME TF BACK!!!!

How high can he raise his eyebrows gawd daaang 🤣 lol

Megatron is a kid that didn't grow up in the slums or anything ..2 parent household..I was like Channing looking for the relatable background. But just goes to the grind isn't always the same

I thought that was j dilla

Megatron made me Lions fan growing up.. idk if a good thing or bad thing lol

"it didn't help" got me 😂

I would love to see a Priest Holmes interview

Imagine having a son that’s a first ballot HOFer at WR AND Life 🤯. Goals

(I didn't find it if it's already been said,..)..But I always wondered why one of the NFL's most humble, honorable, & quiet stars was nicknamed after the villainous Decepticon in Transformers. Roy Williams chose it based on the combination of CJs size, speed & power, which I can understand, but he's a preachers kid, played offense (which usually doesn't inflict pain and turnovers, the D is considered the villian imo)
Has he even been heard cussing?

White people activities? Oh god im surprised he didnt say he was trying to act white. Totally ruined the podcast for me.

do tyrel pryor

I am like Kevin Gary what is wrong with Channing? He is funny lol 🤦🏾‍♀️

Id bet he could still be a solid #2 for us. This dude was and is absolutely a Detroit LEGEND!!!!!

Man, this episode with cannabis is crazy how true it is. I was a baseball player and had a bad shoulder injury that doctors tried to fix with opiates. It didn't do anything but make it worse and developed a habit for a long time. I've been so we now for almost a decade and am very fortunate for that. Cannabis helped me so much to get the right medicine through the end of my therapy with this injury, and now I have a job where I have drug screenings and don't do anything anymore, but, if not, id still be smoking. Cannabis does so many good things for the body and I hate how it's still looked at as bad.

I feel like I’m fast just standing here

Channing be living at magic city lol 😂😂

Best wr all time

Great show !!

Love MegaTron.. Love My City Detroit.. 1 Luv. Great Episode.. Very Informative.

It’s funny asf
A great athlete smart has his head over and shoulders and smokes for medical reasons .. Calvin is right the stigma is idiocy

Does he want to come back for our super bowl run? Lol it would be my favorite

Born and raised in Nairobi; Kenya. In 2002 after doing well in my High School placement exam, my old man bought me a used PS1 and it came with only one CD, Madden NFL. Now games back then cost too much to ask my parents to get me another (FIFA was what I really wanted) so it was learn the sport or forget about playing games on the PS.Took a bit but I learned the basics of (American) football there and then.

Fast forward to October 2013 Watched my first full game in 2013. In our Country (Kenya) only paid subscription offered ESPN and I could now afford it plus the time difference had a prime time game at 3am to 4am in the morning. Wanna guess which game it was? Yep, that game v the Cowboys where he went off for 300 yards. At the time I didn’t know exactly why the commentators were going wild about his performance for but one name kept coming up. Even then I knew Megatron was special. This man may or may not be the best ever for some people but personally, He is the one for me man! Considered just what I saw that day and the fact that he was the reason I have literally not missed a playoff or superbowl game for over a decade to date and have found a love for this game that I doubt will ever fade. God Bless you Megatron. Much love from Nairobi, Kenya 🇰🇪

One-hundred percent.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 cast!!! The Pivot is the truth!
