I've always thought Rob Parker said things without thinking and here is further evidence to me that he is not worthy of a spot on ANY TV show, much less, ESPN. Bomenji Jones (not sure if I got the first name correct) is a great choice if he is available. He is insightful and balanced. Rob Parker is basically, Woody with...whoops, here we go down the race path, again. In all seriousness, dump him. I used to turn it when he was on and will do so for sure, now!
