Curry signs with Lions

Ronald Curry spearheaded some of the best high school teams in state history during a legendary run with Hampton High in the 1990s.

Charles Johnson...what is it with these reports lately? Can't anyone do even MINIMAL research and get the names correct??? These people get paid for this kind of report? I am sure that some of the people out there looking for jobs can at least spell. Fire this guy and replace him with someone who needs a job and will give a little bit of effort!!!

Poor Curry! Getting signed late in your career with the Lions is the equivelant of a once highly paid award winning actor now doing infomercials. Sad!

Poor JJ Wilson! Being a pole smoker every day of your life.

better then being unemployed, although just barely.

Beats playing for the Lions!

No sure why people are dinging SMO. He has a point as Charles Johnson? I'm pretty sure they meant Calvin Johnson. Oh well. It is good that Curry got to hook up with another team but going leaving the Raiders usually would be an upgrade (at least in the last few years) but to Detroit. Ugh!

Hope he doesn't get hurt. He's getting old for that kind of abuse.

They get first pick in the draft, they may be decent next season.

Don't bet on it. It's going to take a heck of a lot more than Curry (who was never too special even in his prime in the NFL), and the number one pick to turn around an "0-fer" season. The Lions stunk last year and smart money says it isn't going to be much different this year!

Ron Curry is a class act and I wish him well. Too bad people in Newport News can't appreciate what a fine role model he is

[LionsFan]

Good lord, get it right... it's CALVIN Johnson. I know the Lions are awful, but come on...

He's always been a nice guy. Problem is he was an outstanding highschool talent. Slightly above average college talent, and as it turns out, a well below average professional talent. Hince a one year deal with the Lions. No body ever said he wasn't a nice guy. I thought this was about football not a character evaluation.

[Wes Welker]

as an all pro, I can run circles around him.

Are you Mel Kiper Jr? You bash him and refer to him as washed up but funny thing is he'll make more money in one year than you will in your whole life. Average College Talent? Excuse me, did you get a DI full ride and Play football for a top 25 team and start at Basketball for the UNC Tarheels? Unless you're Allen Iverson I suggest you go back to your hole and update your fantasy roster you little troll.

Nothing more pathetic than someone spending time playing human spell checker on an opinion board. Your mother must be so proud!
