“I remember I had a guy in Miami, god he loved ball,” Campbell said, via Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press. “He was a dynamic football player, but he came in every day just reeking of alcohol. He was probably on a bender for who knows how long, but god he loved football. He showed up, he didn’t have any M.A.’s , he hustled non-stop, and it’s like, you know what? You’ll find a way to make that guy work. Not saying we want those guys, but he loved ball, and he had success. And he’s still playing today, by the way.”

Why do I get a Gruden vibe from Campbell.  Both trying to project tough guy images or be "cool" to relate to the young millionaire athletes.  Gruden was all image where as Campbell might be just your everyday high school football coach.  I wonder if everyone around Campbell will act like they saw nothing and are shocked like the roaches that scattered when the light was shown on Gruden.  I still think the NFL is covering up a ton of crap on the Redskins and both Grudens.  

Back to the poor long suffering Lions..........Mmm Good Campbell is a complete knucklehead who is in over his head and doesn't even know it :)
