The latest Dan Campbell quote is mmm, mmm, good.
If you haven’t been following the Lions head coach this offseason, he has delivered unsolicited quote after hearty unsolicited quote that make some fans roll their eyes, other fans want to run through a brick wall and media members drool at the sight.

“Like, these guys work now. We don’t have guys, ‘Ah, I’m lazy.’ We don’t really have those guys and that’s a good thing. That’s not always the case when you walk in and it hasn’t been a successful program.”

The restroom theme of Campbell’s quotes isn’t exactly new. Earlier in the offseason, he vowed not to wipe the butts of his players.
Still, the Lions have a lot of work to do entering the 2021 season, with a new-look coaching staff, quarterback and front office, so the situation is going to be a lot more than just polishing a … well, you get the idea.
