Wanna know what I'd like to see? A public all-out bitchfest between Parcels and Bobby Knight. I would pay money to see that.
Only if Lou Pinella were also involved. Lou had a tirade here in Cleveland back in 1997 that was quite possibly the funniest thing you've ever seen.

He ran out to argue a call at second base, and he was quickly thrown out, but he didn't realize it until he got back to the dugout.
At that point, he sprinted back onto the field, determined to get every last word in he could.
He threw his hat on the ground, and proceeded to kick it some 7 times (could have been more) back to the dugout. When he arrived, he picked up the, now, dirty cap, threw it into the stands, and it was thrown back.
If you ever see the video footage of this, every player on the field had their gloves up over their mouths...to keep from being seen laughing. Ken Griffey Jr. was in the dugout, howling with laughter.
The Indians radio call was so funny, that later that night, they rebroadcast it.
The broadcaster, however, did NOT know he had been thrown out during his first trip. They spent 5 minutes during the second trip saying "He hasn't been thrown out." and "The ump down there is probably saying to Lou, I'm not going to make your night. I'm going to make you sit in the dugout and watch the rest of this game."

The all-time best line from it:
"If the Buffalo Bills had had Lou Pinella as their place-kicker, they would have won that Super Bowl."
