Danny Amendola
The New England Patriots wide receiver is catching grief from his Rhode Island neighbors over a temporary carport. Amendola erected the metal structure behind his 1774-built home in Providences College Hill Historic District last month so that he can get to practice on time in a snowstorm. The home sits on Benefit Street, a hillside thoroughfare filled with colorful restored clapboard homes featured on countless postcards. Neighbors complain the carport is a blemish on the communitys atmosphere. Amendola has declined to comment on the complaints.
Calvin Johnson
The Lions wide receiver has drawn comparisons to Hall of Fame running back Barry Sanders in Detroit. Both made spectacular plays for the Lions. Off the field, they were quiet and humble. They might have one more thing in common this offseason: retirement at age 30. Like many players at this stage of their career, I am currently evaluating options for my future, said Johnson, who is said to be seriously contemplating retirement and is not saying if he will restructure his contract, which counts $24 million against the salary cap next season.
