Great observation ! problem is he isn't as good as fellow shock writers Jason Whitlock, or Stephen A Smith. Parker could go the curmudgeonly route but I don't think he could do any better than Drew Sharp. Eventually Parker will say something of such a personal nature non-related to sports that he will cross the line again. Its just a matter of time.
