Facts

[@thenickfoxx]

The Hard Knocks crew said this was possibly the best season they've filmed in their careers. Just watched episode 1 and I'm starting to see why they would say something like that. MCDC is the coach the Lions have needed for over a half century. It's just a numbers game, it's got to happen for us one day. I hope MCDC is the man to bask in the glory of being the first coach to bring a SuperBowl to Detroit. Certainly has the right staff and culture for it.

[@RogueBlackOp]

If MCDC loses and can’t do it, then I feel like I’d be done with this team. Because if Campbell can’t do it, I don’t think anyone can

[@mikehorvitz]

Dan Campbell is unreal he made me cry, so passionate

[@midwestlakelife]

I just got tears in my eyes reading this. We never plan on winning here in Detroit. It never crosses our minds. What a wonderful thought if that was ever a possibility.

[@BuxtonOfSexson]

How is that possible it’s their favorite when they are still filming it? Are you talking just training camp?

[@thenickfoxx]

@@BuxtonOfSexson It's very possible. The crew was talking about it behind the scenes.

This kind of passion and heart is what makes a contract worth it. If I’m an owner or GM the first thing I would want to know is how much you care about winning. The nfl is such a great league because it’s a next man up/come and go league. If you’re not able to perform, you’re out. Sheer talent is only as valuable as the passion you use with it. The fans, the respect, the rivalries is what makes this league so giving. As a fan of any team, you love to see this.
