Rob Parker = Attention Whore?

So I get it, Rob Parker made a bad joke when he asked Rod Marinelli if he wished his daughter married a better defensive coordinator. Yeah, I chuckled when I heard it. I thought it was funny. It was definitely in poor taste but it was still funny. It got better when Marinelli didn't accept his apology, telling at the reporters to "bring it." It was funny when he called the press conference room a "room of stink". I feel bad for Marinelli, not only does he have to deal with having the worst team of all time, he has to deal with giant bag o' douche Rob Parker.

I'm not a big fan of Parker's and don't understand why he's been able to move up the media ladder. He had a column and his own radio show nightly, now he's a frequent guest on ESPN's first and 10 where he debates Skip Bayless and he is also on ESPN radio 1050 in New York. But I am now coming to my main point of this post.

HE IS AN ATTENTION WHORE!!

Please, check his wikipedia page. Don't you find it peculiar that he has had 5 controversies in 9 months. And those aren't even all of the controversies. There was the time he falsely reported that Manny Harris was caught in a drug house in Detroit. Guess what? Just a grab at some more attention. Then, last season he said Mario Manningham was going to be suspended for the whole season because of some altercations. Well, Manningham was never suspended.

Parker, I know you'll probably read this because you're looking for all the attention you can get.
Please, stop your shenanigans and just be a normal journalist who reports stuff that is true and someone who doesn't become the story.
