get punched in the mouth
exactly what we needed
talking to all of us
“What happens is you get used to eating filet, and I’m talking to all of us,” Campbell said.
“And everything’s good. Life’s good, but you forgot what it was like when you had nothing and you ate your (bleeping) molded bread and it was just fine, and it gave you everything you needed, and sometimes you got to 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 a bad taste 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.”
From the article, Lions’ Dan Campbell’s epic interview: ‘You forgot what it was like when you had nothing‘ by Dave Birkett in the Detroit Free Press.
I am not saying the football or sports SHOULD define us but I DO think that there are applications of this to many many facets of life on earth today.
Also have to take my hat to Coach Campbell for is awe inspiriting command of the English language.
I once attended a funeral where the eulogy was made by then Michigan Head Football Coach, Bo Schembechler.
It was a funeral but he had the audience ready to run through a brick wall, head first, when he finished talking.
