they all laughed at him, now they all respect him.

Who’s here after Dan Campbell lead the Lions to a Division title and their first playoff win in 32 years? ✋🏾

[michaelkat]

Campbell literally said the message was only for Detroit. Ofc these people wouldn’t understand. Molly is definitely the most sensible one here. Thank you to Jalen Rose for giving her a piece of the Detroit spirit.

This aged like fine wine. These guys are clowns. Dan Campbell has us lions fans inspired and hopeful. The more ridiculous things he says, the more his players and fans love him. I truly believed they’d knock off the chiefs in week 1. I couldn’t say that with any other coach before him in my 40+ years as a lions fan.

For the first time ever,
Molly is the one who is right

If a Detroit player bites someone knee it will be the funniest moment in sports 😂

[jayssenleon]

Why is Stephen a bringing up his record as a player he’s a tight end you expect him to carry a team

[ConnorMiller]

I came here after they reached the NFC championship game. Dan Campbell has changed the culture in Detroit and there’s no one Detroit would rather have lead the way than one of their own. Go Lions!

[dominicksjets]

Stephen A and Max are the most sensitive man babies I have ever seen

[kingjones]

I swear the media wants players and coaches to have little to no personality at all.

[bigfella]

They obviously didn't look at the entire press conference... He said the message wasn't for anybody but Detroit! He also said he has to change the culture of the team to compete all the time... He also said he wants the team to represent Detroit as a city because the fans deserve a winner... He didn't wanna give the same ole same ole speech that the fans hear every 2 to 3 years.... He actually said this stuff fellas... I'm disappointed in SAS and Max on this topic... I got what he was saying and it was a breath of fresh air to me

[davidbrazier]

I'm a Lions fan and I LOVED that press conference!! One Pride!

[joshhighwind]

Oh good grief. He's trying to hype up a fanbase that's suffered through decades of failure. I thought it was entertaining, like a WWE promo

[KDTHAPHENOM]

2 years later we are division champs and just won our first playoff game at home in 32 years, this video aged like fine wine

Day 1 of Lions practice:
Dan Campbell: "Everybody. I've brought in Joey Chestnut to teach us how to eat as many kneecaps as fast as possible."

[sebastionchosay]

As a lions fan I'm excited these dudes clearly didnt watch the whole press conference smh

[natym]

Never delete this. Aged like milk Stephen A.

[aaronmiyao]

As a Lions fan, and as someone who has a lot of lions fans around me, we are so pumped for Motor City Dan Campbell, and that first press conference excited us for the first time in a long time

[xoscreenz]

He’s trying to have the Lions like the bad boys pistons

[rondoss]

Well… This certainly didn’t age very well. 😂
