When Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell did his first media availability of training camp on Wednesday morning, it was abundantly clear that the team had a new presser podium, as the thing was absolutely massive to the point it made the 6-foot-5 coach look small.
The new podium may have been the Lions' response to earlier this offseason when Campbell took to what was a much smaller and less sturdy podium during the offseason program.
Nevertheless, things just got more strange with the new podium, and more awesome, as well.
The massive new podium has a drawer on the side that has a lock on it. So, Justin Rogers of Detroit Football Network decided to take a peek inside to see what was in it — and we're so happy he did.
Upon opening it, there was a set of keys in the drawer, along with a basketball card sporting Detroit Pistons legend Darko Milicic, the team's former No. 2 overall pick who was dubbed "The Human Victory Cigar" during his career because he was so bad that he typically only entered games once they were in hand.

There are absolutely no words to describe how random, hilarious and awesome that is. We can only hope reporters will follow up with Campbell at some point next week to find out what is behind that card being in there.
The Lions took part in their fourth practice of training camp on Saturday, but the Lions head coach did not speak to the media. Detroit has an off day on Sunday before returning to the field on Monday.
