Although I agree that Obie needs to go, I have no problem with his response 
to those questions. It WAS a stupid question. It is obvious to anyone who 
has seen more than a few games what the C's defensive game is. Parcells used 
to get irritated at stupid questions too. He even went so far as to call a 
reporter a jerk because of a question he asked.

I think this is just a case of everything being under a microscope because 
of the current situation. Obie has not taken kindly to dumb questions in the 
3 years he's been here. It's nothing new.
