He had some really stupid comments about Calvin Johnson's retirement, especially given his own career. Here's the meat of it.

Swann does not think Johnson should join him in the Hall of Fame when he becomes eligible in five years. “Hard to say he's going to be in the Hall of Fame when his team hasn't gotten to a Super Bowl, and they don't get a chance to get into the playoffs,” Swann said,per the Detroit News. “And that's for a lot of guys across the board. If he had broken every passing record, like Danny Fouts, who didn't win the Super Bowl, then yeah, I think there's going to be consideration.”
Um, really Lynn? That's rich since you played the same number of years but because you played on an all-time juggernaut, you deserve to go to the Hall but others don't. He probably thinks the 3rd and 4th receivers on those Steeler teams deserve to go over Johnson too because "Ringz YO!" And if you don't win a Super Bowl, you don't qualify for consideration?

This guy needs to learn to keep his mouth shut.

Marino is in the HOF but Cliff Stoudt isn't? Forget concussions, the NFL has to come to terms with that first. Yes, Johnson is a tremendous player but he has naked fingers.
