Tigers broadcasters Mario Impemba and Rod Allen got into a physical altercation. It was known by many that they are not close friends. Wochit, Detroit Free Press
At the beginning of the end of Mario and Rod, there was an early afternoon interview on the schedule. There was a comfortable chair in the visiting television booth at Guaranteed Rate Field in Chicago.
There was a pregame argument, a postgame argument that, depending on who you talk to, may or may not have ended in a choke hold, and a long-standing tension that finally boiled past the point of no return in the hallway behind.
