We all know the Detroit Lions are aweful as evidenced by their 0-15 season thus far with loss number 16 likely coming next week against the Green Bay Packers. We also know the Head Coach and most likely soon to be ex-Head Coach is Rod Marinelli who is well known locally for saying a whole lot of nothing in his post game press conferences. After all, what can you really say about a team that will go down in history as the worst of all-time?
However, things got personal after the Lions latest defeat at the hands of the New Orleans Saints. In Marinelli's post game conference, Detroit sports reporter Rob Parker was asking a series of questions relating to why Joe Barry (Lions Defensive Coordinator & Marinelli Son in Law) still has a job after creating the league's worst defense this year. Marinelli kept focusing on himself in his answers and taking all the blame, which isn't the answer Rob Parker wanted. After becoming frustrated that Rod kept talking about himself and not Joe Barry, Parker asked Marinelli "Do you ever wish your daughter married a better Defensive Coordinator?"
Wow, way to be a class act Rob Parker. All these years as a sports beat writer and that is best question you could come up with to take a dig at Marinelli? I'm all for having Marinelli fired as a Head Coach, but there was no need to get personal.
