Is this reporter an idiot, or just doing his job?

[Tilted]

I don't know if anyone saw this clip on FOX postgame yesterday. A reporter keeps asking Lion's coach Rod Marinelli about why he hasn't fired his defensive coordinator (who happens to be his son in law). The reporter eventually asks Rod if he wished his daughter had married a better defensive coordinator.

Reporter was a complete jerk.

Hardly let him answer the question before rephrasing it and trying again. Totally uncalled for.

...that depends on what the reporters job is; what if his job is to be an idiot?

According to Eric Kuselias on Mike & Mike, this has been a "running joke" between these two all season.

That's what I think. I had kinda been rooting for Detroit to go 0-16 this year, just because. But, for some reason I'm thinking about rooting for a win over Green Bay next week. Marinelli seems like a decent enough guy, and maybe he and his team deserve one bright moment this year.

Then I would say that he has a fair bit of job security.

Your going to WHAT against Green Bay next week? No I don't think so! Well then again the way GB has been playing I would not be suprised.

Sorry :shrug: I'm not sure yet, but out of sympathy I'm leaning toward rooting against the 0-16 season. Depends on whether or not I'm in a bloodthirsty mood Sunday.
