This much, we know: Mario Impemba and Rod Allen are not friends.
Despite working together at Fox Sports Detroit for 16-plus seasons as the Detroit Tigers' play-by-play broadcaster and chief color analyst, respectively, the two have shared what can be best described as a contentious relationship.
“I don’t think it was a secret,” one co-worker said.
Even so, while on air, the pair has put their personal differences aside, serving as a quality broadcast tandem since debuting together in 2003.
