There is a famous scene in the movie the "Sandlot" where the embattled little guys are confronted by the snot nosed rich kids from across town.
Words go back and forth.. crap face, jerk, idiot, scab eater, fart smeller.. momma gets mentioned and it ends with the ultimate young boy insult; you play ball like a girl (see the youtube video below) !
But you can't insult his family.. his daughter specifically !! (Video after the jump)
Well.. in the real world.. there are things you can do and things you can't do when your trying to get under the skin of an advisory... especially a grown man.
You can call him fat, you can call him ugly, you can call him dumb. You can question is integrity, you can call him out on his character, you can even question whether or not he should have ever been born.
But family is off-limits, outside of a momma joke of course.
Daughter's are way, WAY, off-limits.
Today at the Lion's post-game presser, Parker went with the "Daughter Dig".

"Do you wish your daughter would have married a better defensive coordinator"
Are you freak'n kidding me ?
Who does that.. in front of a room of players, coaches, and other NFL peers... not to mention your own news brethren.
The TV media guys didn't circle the wagons and give Parker any kind of out either. Fox's TV booth went right after "Wob", all of them crushing him bad, saying that he should be removed from the newspaper even, and he was a disgrace to journalism. Terry Bradshaw just kept calling Parker a "total idiot".
Which brings up another interesting point.. perhaps it really is time for Rob Parker to go.
I mean, it isn't like this is the first monster Rob Parker screw up.. it isn't even the first time this year.. he was just here a couple of months ago with the whole made up lie about MSU Spartan players involved in the fight.
I mean.. "Come On Wob", how can you do it.. again ?! Didn't you learn anything from the last suspension ?!
I realize that the Detroit News going out of business is probably causing you a lot of stress.. but really, you thought attacking the coaches daughter was the right call to make ?
I would love to see if Rob Parker would have the balls to make that statement, standing in the coaches office, with the shades pulled and the door locked.
I doubt it.
