The recent flap over Detroit Free Press columnist Rob Parker’s hardball question to Lions coach Rod Marinelli — “whether he wished his daughter had married ‘a better defensive coordinator,’” — inspired me to think of a few jackpot questions to ask New York coaches. I’ll define a jackpot question like this: You know that little vein over your eye that pulses when you get really angry? When that explodes, you know you’ve asked a jackpot question.

Eric Mangini — You can’t just erase Brett from the birth certificate with Photoshop?

Tom Coughlin — Want me to shoot Snee in the leg?

Jerry Manuel — Et tu, Jerry? (asked by Willie Randolph)

Mike D’Antoni — Over/Under 30 games into the LeBron-less 2010 season before you quit?

Steve Spagnuolo — Who will you and the Rams be drafting second overall next season?

Scott Gordon — What did you bastards do with Ted Nolan?

Joe Girardi — “Did you consider Brett for Miller with the bases loaded in the seventh?”

P.S. RIP Dock Ellis. (That last line’s a dandy.)

Gang Green looking forward to proving their worth Sunday against the upstart Fins;  Chad Pennington looking forward to sticking it to Jets’ brass by decapitating Brett Favre and stealing his soul Highlander style, capping ultimate season of retribution.

Yankees sign Wang to one year deal; Ensure marginally talented, childish, lazy morning bloggers at least another year of easy to write, fill-in-the-blank weiner jokes.

G-Men to follow approach of last year, play last game at full strength; Hoping to ride momentum all the way to NFC Championship, where they again will capitalize on the motivation of saving their coach’s rapidly deteriorating face.
