Dan Campbell’s opening address to Lions players gave us another all-time amazing quote

These openings comments were … wild.

Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell seems to be the kind of guy who can’t carry a conversation without making a headline. It’s not that what he’s saying is particularly newsworthy. It’s just that he tends to get pretty weird — generally in a funny way.

His opening remarks to Lions players seem to be yet another example. During an interview with reporter Mike Silver, the rookie head coach provided a window into that opening address with his new players.

“I told (the players), honestly, day one, I said, ‘Look, I’m not carrying your toilet paper around,” Campbell told Silver. “I’m not gonna wipe your butt. You’re gonna wipe your own butt. You handle it and I’ll treat you like men until you prove otherwise.'”

Is this the status quo for Campbell? I feel like we can now expect bizarre thoughts like this one on a weekly basis during the season.

After all, he said he wants his players to “bite the kneecaps off” their opponents during his introductory press conference. That’s quite the carefully-crafted image — albeit grotesque.

Either way, fans proceeded with plenty of jokes on Twitter.

Honestly, I’m just looking forward to what Campbell says next.
