IN BRIEF
Raiola tired of lousy Lions fans
Dominic Raiola
"I don't take one thing back," he said yesterday.
NFL spokesman Randall Liu said the league will look into it.
Raiola, a Saint Louis School grad, said fans have been particularly hard on him because he's been with the team since 2001, when it started a slide that has become the NFL's worst eight-season stretch in more than a half-century.
Raiola made the gesture Sunday during the winless Lions' 20-16 loss to Minnesota.
"I'm just so frustrated," Raiola said. "I'm tired of being a doormat for people to just talk to us how they want to talk to us. I'm just not going to put up with that anymore."
Raiola said he wishes he could give some fans his home address. "I'd do that, but you can't," he said. "Nobody plays with fists. Everybody wants to play with metal."
