    I love Bradshaw's response. Awesome.

    Overboard? He was out of bounds. He asked if he "wished his daughter married a different defensive coordinator."

    Rob is a friend but he doesn't get a pass on getting personal on this one. He was wrong. Hopefully, he will man up and apologize.

    I thought you were a Libertarian. Wouldn't a TV network letting go of somebody because it doesn't agree with his views fall under its indisputable rights in your world?

    Jimmy the greek fucked up in two ways. One, he was drunk. 2, He should've kept his mouth shut. While I felt sorry for him being in a drunken stupor, many things said in that state of mind are how a person really feels.

    It was really a classless act, especially since Marinelli is taking blame for this season and owning up to the shortcomings of the Lions. Parker's comment/cheapshot was cruel and unnecessary and his reputation just took a massive hit.

    It's way past having an apology be sufficent. Was an apology good enough when he accused an MSU quarterback of beating up a hockey player? That's what he got away with, although the apology was the same half-assed, half-hearted one Albom made from St. Louis.
    Parker is the type of lazy journalist that gives all of us a bad name.
    He made a mistake? Not just one, it happens all the time.
    As HB said, there's nothing wrong with asking tough questions, but he crossed the line into a petty personal attack.
    It's time for him to go.
    Sports Final Edition could be fun tonight to watch the backpedal if he's on... detroitsj .. fill us in
