Dan Campbell, the Detroit Lions head coach, can’t stop giving us amazing quotes.
I think his daily coffee order qualifies.
The man who promised Lions players will “bite a kneecap” off opponents and who said he wasn’t carrying their toilet paper around (seriously, he said that) revealed what he gets every morning: he gets two Venti-sized Pike Place Roasts from Starbucks AND two shots of espresso in each of them.
That seems like A LOT of caffeine.
I decided to head over to Starbucks’ site to see what he was ingesting. One Venti of Pike Place with the two shots is 410 mg of caffeine. Multiply that by two and you get 820 mg.
Per the Mayo Clinic, “Up to 400 milligrams (mg) of caffeine a day appears to be safe for most healthy adults. That’s roughly the amount of caffeine in four cups of brewed coffee, 10 cans of cola or two “energy shot” drinks.”
Well we found out one thing this morning: @Lions head coach Dan Campbell loves his @Starbucks. Check out MCDC’s morning order.
What is your morning coffee order? Is it more than Dan’s? #Lions #NFL

So, uh. Coach: you might want to stick to one cup with two shots and call it a day.
