Jeffrey @#%@# Parsons

[boyshocker]

JP on sports Sunday calling GM actions after the game as non-professional. I'll admit it would have been scary in a dark alley, but I love it and I am sure the players love it out of their coach also. Did anyone else see him carry our AD into the tunnel? Get used to it Wichita, this guy wears his emotions on his sleeve. By the way, non-professional is someone sitting on a late night talk show slumped down and with his knees wide apart.

I thought it was great when HCGM did that! The past few months have been really hard on him, so he deserves to let it out and enjoy these moments.

I like that GM did it, and who cares if it was a little un professional...he deserves to let loose for a moment. Parsons just wanted to stir something up while all the other writers were singing the shockers praise.

[SHOCKvalue]

The guy that has been the media lapdog of K-State athletics for the past few years is calling another coach's behavior out as unprofessional?

Classic!

Well, by now I guess he would be a bit of an expert in that area.

Whenever JP speaks on Sports Sunday, I change the channel.

I also found those comments intriguing.


Just to be out in front on this one a bit.....JP, you might want to see if the mighty big 590 is hiring.....you might be getting the same call backs as Matt from now on.


He's our coach, he is passionate, and he cares. We could have bigger problems.


And before anyone gets into it, Mark also had a few (and I am not using this phrase, I am borrowing it) "unprofessional moments" at WSU. Remember the grabbing the mike episode?

Showing your emotion is not a bad thing, imho. In fact, I love it.

Has anybody else noticed how when JP or BH finish any particular topic that JP turns and faces the right camera angle and freezes into his Garfield showing-all-his-teeth grin? Nothing natural about it, but it is consistent.

"The Bruce" responded with something to the effect that the team feeds off of that energy.

Jeffrey Parsons is a douche bag newspaper guy trying to do TV a la Bob Lutz trying to do radio.

Don't give up your day jobs, guys.

I guess I forgot to pay attention to the coach while I was in the stands celebrating by juggling people's babies, taking off my shirt and shoes, and creating a resume with pencil. What exactly did he do? I think any display of emotion, up to stripping and doing laps round the arena, is justified after a win like that.

I did not see what Coach Marshall did at the south end, but I did see him come to the north end and high five the fans with great exhuberance.

So what? He was delirious with joy and so were the fans. It truly was an improbable win.

Parsons is guilty of unjustified arrogance.

As mentioned above, he is nothing more than a lapdog and apologist for K-State. He tries to be clever in print, but it comes off as high school Harry journalism.

[Shox21]

Didn't Parsons also say that you don't do that in front of another coach (UE), especially one you will be meeting on the road in a few weeks. I got the impression Parsons was saying Marshall's spontaneous jubilation was somehow a knock on UE. How does he figure that?

For people not there, could someone elaborate further on what HCGM did to insight the remarks?
