Marinelli on Spygate: "I never said a word'
Published 9/14/2007 by Tom Kowalski at Detroit Lions Insider - MLive.com
Detroit Lions head coach Rod Marinelli said on Friday he has never commented publicly on the cheating scandal surrounding the New England Patriots, despite an SI.com report that quoted Marinelli. "The one thing I'll tell you - there's no quote behind my name. I never said a word. Somebody else is quoting me. I have no comment,'' Marinelli said. When questioned further about the SI.com report, Marinelli reiterated: "I have not ever spoken to anybody. Everything I've said (about the situation) is no comment. OK? No comment. Just like I've said all week here. I have not made one statement. If somebody wants to use my name and attach it to it, just make sure they put their name behind it.''
