There’s another Detroit resident who might soon have the FCC up his ass.
Appearing on 97.1 The Ticket in Detroit on Tuesday, Lions coach Dan Campbell dropped a pair of “F” bombs while addressing the current state of the team, after a critical mass of injuries.
“What happens is, you get used to eating filet — and I’m talking all of us — and everything’s good,” Campbell said of the 48-42 loss to the Bills. “Life’s good, you know? And but you forgot what it was like when you had nothing and you ate your fuckin’ molded bread. And it was just fine. And it gave you everything you needed. And sometimes you gotta get punched in the mouth and remember what it used to be like to really appreciate where you are. And we’ll do that.
“And so, we got bad tastes in our mouth, we got kicked around the other day. We lost a few guys. And you know what? It’s exactly what we needed. This is exactly what we needed. So we’re gonna bounce back. We’re gonna respond. We got guys who are about to have an unbelievable opportunity here. And we will play the game any way needed to win. We still got a good offense. We got plenty of defensive players. I can go rattle them off right now. We’re gonna put the best eleven on the field, we’re gonna freakin’ cut it loose, we’re gonna play with our special teams.
“And I don’t give a crap if we gotta win by one point for the rest of the year, that’s what we’re gonna do. And I’m gonna be happy about it. We come out of the game with 50 yards of total offense and we win by one, you’re gonna see smiles on my face, I promise you. If it’s the other way defensively, we give up 700 yards and we win by one point, you’re gonna see a fuckin’ smile from my ear to ear. I promise you.
“So we’re gonna find a way, and we’re gonna get it done.”
It’s the right mindset because it’s the only option. Campbell has to play the hand he’s been dealt. Currently, it’s a bad hand. He has to try to make it into a good one.
