Four months after he was fired by Fox Sports Detroit, in tandem with play-by-play man Mario Impemba, Tigers analyst Rod Allen said Sunday that a September fracas in Chicago was “embarrassing” and all part of a “bad day” that ended the broadcast team’s 16-year run in Detroit.
Allen spoke for the first time, publicly, since the incident during an interview with Carol Cain on the “Michigan Matters” program aired on Channel 62.
“I didn’t have a good day, he (Impemba) didn’t have a good day, as well,” Allen said during the taped interview, which took place in Phoenix, near Allen’s home.
