| | Daily Record Sports - Rookie Parke relevant to MetroStars (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24) |
 | | During preseason, Parke was actually scared to talk to reporters because of “the whole, ‘somebody’s talking about you, and a week later, you’re gone’ ” phenomenon. |
 | | When Parke was only an alternate for MLS’ combine in California, Dragons coach Lew Meehl made a little extra effort to get him on coaches’ radar screens, calling MetroStars head man Bob Bradley as well as Bob Gansler of the Kansas City Wizards. |
 | | Naturally quiet, with a veteran’s poise, Parke is “calm, cool and collected” both on and off the field according to fellow rookie Zach Wells. |
