Rob Parker is a sports columnist for The Detroit News.
The most recent controversial thing that he has do so far was perhaps the worst unfounded rumor of all. He said that Michigan State backup quarterback Kirk Cousins was involved in a fight between football and hockey players that will result in charges being filed in the coming days (the fight happened in October). MSU head coach Mark Dantonio came to Cousins' defense and called Parker out.
Parker ended up getting suspended from his column and apologized to the Cousins family, as he was caught making up things that didn't happen.
