Last week former New Jersey governor Chris Christie got a little butt hurt after the Detroit Lions demolished his Dallas Cowboys 47-9. He went on the Mad Dog show and said the following.
“That’s Dan Campbell. He’s got no class, never has. So it’s fine. Look, Dan Campbell, that’s the way he is, and what goes around comes around. I just think that it’s misdirected you know, Dan Campbell’s angry because the referees got a call wrong in the game a year ago. Well, then you know, run that play on Roger Goodell. The Cowboys had nothing to do with the play being called incorrectly. It wasn’t a challenge that the Cowboys made. It was a call the referees made. The Lions got hurt by it. The Cowboys benefited by it. But now so because of that, you want to take your, you know, your peak for that, while you’re, you know, beating the hell out of these guys, and rub it in. That’s not what pros do, but it’s his prerogative. It’s the reputation that he’ll carry around. Quite frankly I see most people think that his rep now anyway.”
Since then Campbell and the Lions went on to have a big win over the Vikings and took first place in the NFC while Christie continued to not be the governor of New Jersey anymore.
There was some curiosity as to how Campbell might respond to the criticism and now we know. Campbell was asked about it on Monday and he responded like only Campbell could.
While laughing and shaking his head he said “The last time somebody called me classless, I was drinking wine out of a bottle. … I’m not worried about it.”
There you go. Campbell continues to be funny and good at his job while Christie remains butt hurt and doesn’t have a job.
