Jim Caldwell channels Melissa McCarthy, SNL during Lions minicamp

ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- Jim Caldwell is known for his stoicism at the podium and on the sideline. Rare is the occasion when he'll crack a joke or show massive emotion.

But it is minicamp and that usually means time for some levity -- something the 62-year-old Detroit Lions coach showed Tuesday after the podium he was standing at continually made booming noises during a question about whether or not it was an advantage to have a workhorse running back or a by-committee approach, which the Lions have used.

After a couple of booms with the initial question -- prompting Caldwell to have the question repeated -- he channeled Melissa McCarthy as Sean Spicer from this season of Saturday Night Live.
