Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers made a hilarious joke on the Pat McAfee show when talking about Lions head coach Dan Campbell.Ā
Over the past year, NFL fans have gotten to know Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers in the most candid manner: as the featured headliner on The Pat McAfee Showās weekly segment, āAaron Rodgers Tuesday.ā
On the NFL off day, the veteran quarterback joins friends and former NFL players Pat McAfee and A.J. Hawk to discuss his thoughts in exclusive, light-hearted interviews.
This week, Rodgers did not disappoint, making a sly reference to Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbellās now-infamous press conference quote from earlier this year.
Aaron Rodgers on Lions and Dan Campbell:Ā āProbably need to wear some knee padsā¦ā
Upon his arrival in Detroit, Dan Campbell made a bold statement when describing how he would build a new Lions team that would ātake on the identity of the city.ā
"āSo, this team is going to be built on, weāre going to kick you in the teeth. And when you punch us back, weāre going to smile at you. And when you knock us down, weāre going to get up. And on the way up, weāre going to bite a kneecap off. And weāre going to stand up and then itās going to take two more shots to knock us down. And on the way up, weāre going to take your other kneecap. And weāre going to get up and then itās going to take three shots to get us down. And when we do, weāre gonna take another hunk out of you. Before long, weāre going to be the last one standing. Thatās going to be the mentality.ā"
McAfee has been enjoying the Campbell area, nicknaming the head coach āMCDCā, which is short for āMotor City Dan Campbell.ā
Campbell isnāt done with his outlandish quotes ā here are some of the best ones from Lions training camp ā and Green Bayās A-Rod is never done with the snark.
Come Sunday, Packers and Lions fans could see the self-described āknockerā of wood rap his knuckles for good luck against the 10.5 point favorites.
