Parker Stinson is back!

My name does give me away.

But after his disaster in Boston, I consider PS back as a contender and major force in US marathoning.

Also, I am annoyed someone registered my name just to mess with me

Ya I'd say CJ is roughly 5th-8th American marathoner at the moment. I'd take Rupp/Kibet/Fauble over him for the most part and maybe a few other guys like Mickow/Bennie and a few other guys very close to the same like Frank Lara and maybe Hehir is still capable of a good one, Ben True running what he did on the New York course was pretty good.

But back to Stinson, is a high 2:12:50's what should be celebrated for him? He is a guy who has had a running contract for the past like 5 or 6 years, does Johnny Crain get his contract now since he beat him? Johnny also beat him at the 25k, among other people. But I guess running companies don't sponsor people based on results anymore, it's about how you present yourself on social media and make people think you're better than you are.

This was about 3 and a half minutes fast. Stinson is a 2:16 on a normal course.

Hard work is easy work. Picked up some more followers on the gram. Had some nice brews afterwards. Solid day.

Back of the bus you mean? Both him and CJ are pathetic early load blowers.

+1 and doing everything in your power to avoid social media finding out your partner broke up with you because you cheated on her. dirty dog.

Looking at their splits at Grandma's, Johnny ran a much smarter race too, negative splitting by over a minute and reeling in a fading Stinson at the end.

Johnny Manziel is a d-bag though. Parker just has had a disappointing career but seems like a good guy

You almost get the analogy. Both have exceptional ability and advantages and piss it away through stupid decisions.

Anyway, it’s simply not the case that he’s a “good guy” and you shouldn’t have to be related to Ashley Maton to understand this.

What did he do? Cheat on her or something? I don’t follow his personal life

It’s been mentioned on this very thread, scroll back and read it.

That’s kind of silly, this wasn’t even Parky’s PR. It was a step in the right direction, and he competed with the nations best - even more important.

The nation’s best will be in Eugene in a month or so, not in Duluth, Michigan.

10/10 trolling job here

Stinson still Stinsoned.

I guess Keira D'Amato isn't good either because she won't be in Eugene after failing to fit the criteria for the world championships selection

Yeah, lol what a bad take. Everyone knows the selection was BS

Kiera, Emily Sisson, Fauble, CJ, etc won’t be there. That’s a lot of Americas best. I hope we get to see CJ and PS grinding out at the front in New York this fall. But they might just do CIM. A guy can dream.

Just like me, Parker is back. He will be on the OLYMPIC team next year. Mark my words. should be going to Worlds.

I second the congratulations. Pretty impressive how many people he got riled up!
