i live in florence,alabama and to get the story straight we have two KFC’s and they have more than two employes and they do not not stay open 24/7, i think he just thought that sounded like a good story(and they do have bbq sauce) and I too was kinda skeptical about him saying that was some life changing moment…give me a break…but i do wish him well and hope florence,alabama did have a positive change on his life,it is a very nice area to live in…

@Big Marlon B

You’re right about the double negatives. I’m a USF alum and I have to admit that listening to Jason Pierre-Paul butcher the English language is far worse than any of Parker’s faux pas’ quoted here.

But the segue from no bbq sauce at the 24-hour, two-man KFC to “…it gave me time to put my thoughts together” is hilarious.

lmao @ FGO….

i thought the same thing. i’m glad to see he is trying to do the right thing now….but if it takes KFC having no BBQ sauce for u to re-evaluate ur life, something is seriously wrong.

as far as the double negatives, all of these guys do that….it used to drive me nuts, but im getting used to it now. that, and things like “he go out there and do what he do”.

I always find time for reflection when the KFC runs out of BBQ sauce…

“I never doubted I wouldn’t make it to the NFL….and they don’t have no barbecue sauce.”

Yep, sounds like Nole…

Glad he seems to have turned a corner in his life. As an FSU guy myself I watched his fall from grace, and am very happy to see that he appears to have matured on my favorite pro team.

I heard the interview and really took two things from it.. He doesnt like running routes in practice and he’s not interested in taking notes on db’s as suggested by Olson. I think he had a great game but won’t last in the NFL. IMO…

I really think he has turned into a fine young man. I have not heard one bad thing about him since joining the bucs.

He seems to have locked that 3rd wr down, which will only make this team better. Sammie probably wr #5 when he returns.

Terry Bowden is doing some good things at North Alabama to help young talented players get on the right track. Preston Parker and Ed Gant are both from NA and his latest project is Janoris Jenkins from UF, a sure 1st round CB in 2012. We need a CB next year and Dominik doesn’t appear to be afraid to take on a talented but controversial player ala Mike Williams. Stranger things have happened. My personal preference would be Dre Kirkpatrick from Bama if he comes out.

Nothing I like better than a tale of Redemption. I thought Parker showed up both halves, and kept them in the game.
He has shown he has the talent to be our fourth WR.

I am happy for him, and hope he keeps on the right path!
