I think the question is hilarious. Marinelli is a prideful prick for becoming so defensive over this. And who cares what the media drama-pushers think? Of course they’re going to call Parker an idiot, how else are they going to stir the pot? We all know the Lions suck and, as a Lions fan, I would rather have them make fun of them than try to make excuses and baby them. Losers deserve embarassment, not sympathy!

Great point on the cutting edge questions needed to combat the internet. The paper is addressing this all wrong. They need to discipline him for being a goofball, but at the same time, support him and his main point of the question.

Bad taste? Maybe.
Good question? Absolutely.
Massive clock weights for asking the question? He’s a stud!

The irony here is that Parker was asking the exact sort of question and displaying the kind of personality that traditional print sports journalists should be asking to retain readers and combat the growing influence of the internet blogger.

On a completely unrelated note, it’s good to see you back at it, Kevin.
