- I always laugh because
one of the ones I tell is
that Scott Parker was a real character.
He's a good guy from what I know
and he was scary as the day is long.
He has a giant goatee, didn't
wear a shirt underneath
so all you saw was chest hair coming out.
He's a big SOB and he barked a lot.
He had a bark as big as his bite.
He'd always, if you punched him, be like
"Oh yeah, that was good.
Do that again.
You know I like it."
He'd grunt, but be like ...
I'm like, "Who is this animal?
Jesus Christ," so I would hit him
and he loved it, he
just loved it, I think.
I never really asked him
but you could tell this
guy really enjoyed it.
My god, he was one of the first guys
that made me realize that
rib-punching can be effective
because he'd blast me in the
ribs a whole bunch of times
and I didn't think anything
of it until after the game
and then I was sore for about a week.
Every time I fought him
I'd put on a rib patch.
I stitched on one of my shoulder pads.
But there was a couple funny moments.
One we had a square off in San Jose.
He threw his gloves at
me, kind of pissed me off.
I'm like, "What are we,
in the fucking minors here?"
So I took my glove off
and chucked it at him
thinking "fuck you," and
he caught the damn thing
and threw it in the stands.
I had to start laughing.
I had to fight this guy, but I was like
"This is too funny."
