Motor City Dan Campbell is celebrating his birthday today, and as far as this Lions fan is concerned, we should all celebrate! MCDC joined the Lions organization in 2021 and has been everything this team and fan base has needed. Look, his first season wasn’t great, but we all know the team was in a “rebuild.” The 2022-2023 season started out ROUGH. Fortunately, Aaron Rodgers was more concerned with getting high and talking smack than playing football and things turned around after the Lions took down the Packers in Detroit 15-9. I was at that game and even though the team wasn’t looking great, the energy in Ford Field was palpable.

I think Dan Campbell is to thank for the rejuvenated energy in the Lions fan base. After that win against Green Bay, the Lions went on to win the next 7 of 9 games and proved they were moving in the right direction. Dan has given us some incredible moments over the last two years between Hard Knocks and his press conferences, and I am ready to see what the team has in store this upcoming season. In honor of his birthday, let’s look back at some of the best Dan Campbell highlights in his football career!

Let’s not forget that Dan is a BIG Metallica fan! Dan, we’d like to personally invite you to join us at the show!

Happy birthday, Dan! From all of us lifelong, diehard Lions fans!

Jade was born and raised in Detroit Rock City and grew up listening to Led Zeppelin, The Who, Tom Petty, etc. In high school she tried multiple different styles from cheerleader to goth but couldn’t do gymnastics and couldn’t get her eyeliner dark enough. She settled on jeans and a t-shirt, playing sports and making normal situations overly awkward. When she’s not making bad jokes on the radio you can find her shanking golf balls into the woods on the golf course and drinking beers at the bar. She has a strict two shot limit when it comes to tequila. Jade enjoys writing and talking about everything happening in Detroit Rock City, our Detroit sports teams, golf, and her fear of robots.
