Steelers' Willie Parker is very good, but not great

Posted Jan 30, 2009
Willie Parker is bitter, and it sort of makes me sick. See, I was there when Parker was playing at North Carolina -- or when he was not playing at North Carolina. I was part of the media who covered the Tar Heels, talked to the coaches, went to practice, went to games. I saw Parker. I was unimpressed, and call me an idiot for lots of things, but not for this. I was unimpressed with Parker for one basic reason: He was unimpressive. (CBS Sports)
