Allen Park – Bob Quinn, the Lions’ general manager, finally talked Friday, breaking eight months of radio silence. And he had plenty to say in a 45-minute session dissecting Matt Patricia’s first go-around as a head coach, a season that produced a 6-10 record described by Quinn as both a “disappointing” one overall and, in some ways, a lesson learned.
But the most important message from Quinn -- and the most infuriating one for some in this city, I'm sure -- is the one he delivered when asked about the Lions’ highest-paid player.
