News about an 0-15 team, besides the fact that they're 0-15

Detroit Lions head coach Rod Marinelli and Rob Parker, a writer of the Detroit Free Press, had an interesting exchange after Sunday's game and it drew quite a bit of media attention.

Joe Barry, the Lions defensive coordinator, is the son-in-law of Marinelli, so Parker asked him if he wishes his daughter would have married a better defensive minded man.

Here's the exchange and what the FOX studio guys' reaction. The clip is at the bottom of the page.

Parker felt bad and wrote an apology column.

Marinelli hasn't accepted Parker's apology.

It was a question he probably shouldn't have asked, but he doesn't deserve to lose his job over it.
