"Do you wish your daughter would have married a better defensive coordinator?"

Local product Paris Lenon has been one of the few bright spots on that horrid defense.

Yep- he's dumb.. there's no upside to asking a question like that in a public setting even if he thought i might result in a funny quote- that's more of a personal discussion type question.. Freedom of speech doesn't cover a sense of tact...

That is retarded. Would you really ask a man who's football team is 0-15 worst in NFL history about his daughter's choice in men? I mean that guy is part of M's family too. its not just talkin smack about his daughter its talkin smack about his son-in-law.

The real issue of course isn't his daughter's choice in men, it's HIS choice in defensive coordinators, and the fact that he still has a job after 2 years as the archetect of the worst defense in the NFL. Parker tried to turn that around and make a joke. Personally I think it was hilarious. He is IMHO bringing up a legitimate issue of nepotism, not so much in the hiring, but in his being able to stay in that job when their defense is so awful.

Nepotism it may be, but absolutely classless.

Classless? Probably.

But again, hes not saying anything negative about his daughter, at all. He is taking a jab at Marinelli's hiring process and how it would have been better if his son in law was actually good at what he does. Again, I dont see any harm in it bc Marinelli opened up the door by hiring a relative to be on his staff.
