One of the first non-Cowboy games I watched was the Chiefs versus Lions one. The Lions beat them by playing smart football. However, in the game against us, Campbell made numerous boneheaded decisions, and one extremely crooked one. The, after he basically hozed his team with bad decisions, he through a fit, blaming his loss on the refs. He also only saw the situation with tunnel vision. His dirty rotten trick to try to confuse the Cowboys on who was eligible to receive blew up in his face, and it serves him right. That was a deliberate attempt to cheat. He's got total tunnel vision on that one play, but he has amnesia about the bogus tripping penalty that gave him the chance to get another TD. He's acting like a spoiled-rotten teenager.
...
If he had any sportsmanship, he would take responsibility for the things he did that made it harder for his team to win. A perfect example of that was when he elected to go for it on 4th down instead of kicking a chip-shot field goal. Those 3 points he left on the field came back to haunt him, as he lost by just one point. Instead of saying, "I made that call, and it hurt my team; I take full responsibility for that," he whined and moaned about the refs, ya know, those same refs that kept him in the game with a bogus tripping penalty. He developed tunnel vision about the refs failing to understand which players he intended to make temporary eligible receivers, and this after he deliberately obfuscated who would be eligible in an attempt to get the Cowboys not to cover him. Then, when he was rightfully penalized for an illegal touch or an illegal formation (take your pick), he threw fits, and insisted on still risking a 2-point conversion. Micah Parson's mistake of jumping offsides gave Campbell a New Years' present, but his team still couldn't punch it in, and this when he could have easily forced overtime with a chipshot PAT. He was the biggest reason why his team didn't win, but he's being a whiny little punk obsessing over the refs failing to understand and help him implement an unsportsmanlike dirty trick. I don't care if that move is technically legal. It's a rotten trick designed to make your opponent think the wrong player is the eligible one so that his QB has an easy toss to an uncovered guy for the 2PAT. That's not in the spirit of the rules. The rules are designed to make it clear that someone who doesn't normally act as a receiver is a legitimate target now.
...
After having tremendous respect for him, I now think he's a blubbering and whiny like a high school incel saying, "Waaaahhhhh, why won't she be my girlfriend?"
