This was awesome on both ends, and kudos to Marvin Lewis for brushing it off, and simply answering the question.
After referring to Johnny Manziel as a midget during a radio interview, Lewis apologized, and everyone assumed we had all moved on. That was until Fox 8 in Cleveland decided to broach the topic one more time during Lewis’ Wednesday news conference.
Fox 8 assigned Lil’ John Rinaldi, a little person and a fixture on Cleveland television since 1979, to ask Lewis some height-related questions:
“Based on the height difference on a player like Manziel how has your defensive approach changed for Sunday’s game?
“Hoyer likes to stand tall in the pocket and Manziel likes to move around. What challenges does that present to your defense?”
If Lewis was rattled by the ambush, he didn’t let on, and answered the questions like a professional.
