I think this story is true. I actually met Pioli after the Green Bay game last year and he was very engaging and friendly. We were tailgating after the game just inside of gate 5. There were very few cars left in the parking lot and a black Mercedes pulls right up to our tailgate, stops, and the driver rolls the window down. I immediately recognize that the driver is Scott Pioli. I jump up out of my chair and walk over to his car. He thanked us for our support of the team and shook all of our hands. I made a statement that Romeo had one hell of a job interview today. Pioli smiled and said he has known Romeo for a long time and that he is a great coach. He then started to pull away and as he did he ran over a large pile of ice we had just dumped on the curb. The sound startled him and he stopped and asked us what the sound was. We told him he had just ran over a pile of ice. He smiled and said "oh, I thought maybe it was Aaron Rogers leg". He then continued to drive away. Seemed like a fairly down to earth guy.
