I was highly skeptical after Dan Campbell’s first news conference as Detroit Lions head coach. While most people reveled in his “we’re going to bite a kneecap off” viral soundbite, I couldn’t help but roll my eyes.
He talked about grit and how his team would be like its city. Tough, blue-collar, blah, blah, blah. He dropped the “S” word.
