Former Detroit Tigers broadcaster Mario Impemba broke his silence on Wednesday.

Impemba, the former Tigers play-by-play announcer, has not made any comments since he and his former broadcast partner, Rod Allen, were involved in a physical altercation in September in Chicago.

The duo, which had worked together for 17 seasons, were first suspended and then eventually let go by Fox Sports Detroit.
