It was January 2021 when new Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell held his introductory press conference. It was a stunning sight. This was one of the key parts of what he said: “We’re gonna kick you in the teeth, and when you punch us back, we’re going to smile at you. And when you knock us down, we’re gonna get up. And on the way up, we’re going to bite a kneecap off.”

After seeing that press conference, I thought for certain Campbell was a goofball meathead. I basically wrote exactly that. But in retrospect, I am the goofball meathead. Put me in the goofball meathead Hall of Fame.

You are not the dork, Dan Campbell, as I essentially wrote. I am. You are not the blockhead, sir. I am. I am the king of blockheads.
