On December 21, 2008, at a press conference following the Lions' 42-7 loss to the New Orleans Saints (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Orleans_Saints), Parker addressed a question Lions head coach Rod Marinelli (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rod_Marinelli) about Lions defensive coordinator Joe Barry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Barry), Marinelli's son-in-law, inquiring whether Marinelli wished that his daughter had "married a better defensive coordinator."[3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rob_Parker_%28sports_journalist%29#cite_note-2) The question was criticized as unprofessional and inappropriate. The next day, Parker wrote that the comment was "an attempt at humor" and not a malicious attack.[4] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rob_Parker_%28sports_journalist%29#cite_note-3) Parker wrote no further columns for the Detroit News (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detroit_News), nor did he attend any press conferences, following the incident. On January 6, 2009, the Detroit News announced that Parker had resigned from the newspaper the previous week.[5] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rob_Parker_%28sports_journalist%29#cite_note-4)

You're shittin me. Hadn't heard.

Unfortunately we prolly haven't heard the last from Parker.

Doesn't anyone watch First Take?

I hate how close re-sign and resign are to each other.
(Fool owns for stepping up)

I'm proud that this eventually took off, even if it was just on a small scale.
