1. Jim Caldwell on the claim that Calvin Johnson is used as a decoy: "You've never heard me ever use the term "decoy." So don't attribute that necessarily with my comments or anybody else on our staff because we've never ever considered him in any way, shape or form to be a decoy."

2. Braylon Edwards' sources tell him Suh won't be a Lion next year: "What I've heard through sources I won't say, is that he doesn't seem to want to fit in with the team anymore, he doesn't want to seem to be in Detroit anymore, and because of that, he doesn't seem to be playing at the same level anymore."

3. Calvin Johnson's injury won't be anything long-term according to Jim Caldwell: "I do think he will bounce back and you'll see him back in uniform and playing the way he always plays.

Doug Karsch then asked if fans should be concerned about any long term ramifications with Calvin. Caldwell replied, "I would think not."

4. Luc Robitaille claims Los Angeles is the best hockey city in the world: "I know you know that when it was all over, we showed everyone that Los Angeles is the greatest hockey city in the world."

5. Lions offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi is disappointed with the lack of TDs: "It's disappointing, you know that we can do better. Every week you go back to the drawing board and try to get the ball into the endzone. People can get mad at the kicker, but if we just do a little better then that's not even a factor."
