From his opening press conference that sent the national media into a frenzy, to him tearing up upon entering the practice facility for the first time—Detroit Lions’ coach Dan Campbell has never been someone who is short on passion.
Just up Woodward Avenue, a certain head coach of a storied franchise is taking notice—Derek Lalonde of the Detroit Red Wings. Lalonde, who is originally from upstate New York, is excited to take in the upcoming Thanksgiving day game between the Lions and the Buffalo Bills.
“My favorite AFC team up against my favorite NFC team in the Detroit Lions,” Lalonde said Tuesday to the press.
