The NFL is a house of pain that most fans will never understand.

Dozens of athletes have called it quits at a young age – some because of perpetual injury, some doing so in their prime. Could Johnson join the list?
If Calvin does walk away from the game of football, then he might just have a future in the toilet industry.
If Calvin Johnson were to indeed retire from the NFL, the Detroit Lions would have a major hole at WR.
Johnson cleaned out his locker Tuesday and notified the Lions he might be making that move.
Lions president Rod Wood, who replaced Tom Lewand soon after he was fired midway through the season, has said the next GM will decide who coaches the team in 2016.
Johnson is beat up in more ways than one. It might be time to walk away and enjoy life.
The 2015 season for the Detroit Lions was just like a lot of the individual games in that half was good and half was bad. Detroit has a lot of talent that unfortunately took a long time to get going, but now, they may see a lot of changes that could bring about another rebuild.
The Detroit Lions may be happy to have the 2015 season over with as they were already eliminated from the playoffs, but the second half wasn't too bad. A win over the Chicago Bears in the season finale had them 6-2 through the final eight games and that's not too shabby.
The Detroit Lions really want to finish the season on a strong note, and the final game of the season is against a division rival - the Chicago Bears. Still, there are some lingering injuries that could play a factor in the game.
The Detroit Lions have had a season that no-one is really proud of and that includes the owner of the team. That being said, it appears a message is being sent that everyone needs to keep working and that's why players won't be rested for the season finale even though the playoffs aren't a possibility.
"I love him. Everybody in the locker room would probably say the same thing."
"I've played here my whole career. If anybody had the opportunity to stay in one place and play ball, they would."
The Detroit Lions have certainly bounced back from the team that many thought may go without a win this season. Against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, they showed the talent that fans knew they have had this entire year.
Matthew Stafford may drop back and loft a pass to Calvin Johnson for the last time at Ford Field against the San Francisco 49ers.
The Detroit Lions are looking somewhat healthy right now as they prepare to face off with the San Francisco 49ers, but some big names remain on the injury report and are a bit iffy.
The Detroit Lions picked up a big win on Monday night, but it may have done more harm than good. No team wants to purposely tank a season, but a high draft pick is what the Lions need, especially if some players end up leaving after this season.
We saw hirings and firings, a teenager taking over hockey, a flurry of yellow flags, a Hail Mary, a botched punt and, oh yeah, the Red Wings still haven't missed the playoffs.
It's no secret the Lions are about to enter into yet another "rebuilding" phase of its history.
The Detroit Lions are looking to get off their second skid of the season, and they are heading into New Orleans to face a Saints team that is still alive for the playoffs. There aren't a lot of injuries to list for the Lions, but each name on the report is a big one.
"If that time comes, whatever happens happens, but not now."
Megatron's salary will inflict a $24 million cap hit on the Lions next year. Should the team cut or trade him, Johnson's dead money will still be a cap hit, but only half so, at about $12 million.
Johnson, in his ninth pro season, ranks first in Lions history with 11,386 yards receiving and 81 touchdowns.
"You're guaranteed two double teams. … We feast on that, when we see three guys lined up."
"Here's the deal: It was not a facemask and Detroit basically got screwed by a bad call."
