Are these the negative comments from Parker that everyone thought were
directed at Walsh?  I read these and have to agree with Parker.  This whole
thing *does* give Maine a bad rap.  It *is* too bad that the current players
are being penalized.  And the handling of the situation by the president and
AD *has been extraordinary*.
 
I think Parker is right on the money.  There's nothing blatantly negative or
damaging toward Walsh or Maine in the above comments.  I think people are
reading between the lines on this one.
