Dan Campbell, coach of the Detroit Lions, has been making headlines time and again. If not for coaching his team to victory over NFC North rival Green Bay Packers just this week, then for unwittingly being on the butt end of memes.
He's also known for his sense of humor, making others laugh when he's not being memed himself. For example, after this week's game, he delivered one of his infamous speeches in the locker room when, at one point, offensive lineman Dan Skipper was standing next to the dustbin, clearly struggling with something. He noted, drawing laughter from everyone:
"There you go, Skip! Keep throwing up! Whatever you’re doing over there!”
The dialogue reflects his personality in one sentence, and this list has 12 memes. Here are some of the funniest ones we've found yet.
