ALLEN PARK, Mich. — Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell finally responded to the biggest story of last week: Getting called "classless" by ex-New Jersey governor Chris Christie.

Campbell was asked about Christie's comments on Monday and responded to them in a way only Campbell could.

"The last time somebody called me classless, I was drinking wine out of a bottle," Campbell said. "But no, it's all good. I'm not worried about it."

Christie, a Dallas Cowboys fan, went after Campbell last week while appearing on "Mad Dog Unleashed," a radio show hosted by Chris "Mad Dog" Russo. Asked how he felt about the Lions opening their book of trick plays in the blowout, Christie said, "That's Dan Campbell. He's got no class. Never has."

"It's fine. It's fine. Look, Dan Campbell, that's the way he is, and what goes around comes around."

Ultimately, Campbell provided good reasoning for why he didn't take his foot off the gas despite the lopsided scoreboard. When he was interim head coach of the Miami Dolphins in 2015, they played a game against the Houston Texans where Miami took a 41-0 lead at halftime and pulled their starters, only to see Houston score 20 unanswered with 11:27 still left in the game.

Miami won, 44-26, but it was a lesson learned: It's not over until it's over.

"All of a sudden, you're sitting there, and then we had to go get our starters back in," Campbell said. "Once you let off the gas, it's hard to get them back going and accelerate again. It's just kind of the mindset of, you just have to be careful. And it's the same way — you go too conservative too early, and teams in this league, they'll come back on you. All of a sudden, you turn the tides, and you get in a funk you can't get out of."

On his way off the podium, Campbell clarified another lingering question: Red or white wine?

"Red," he said.
