Speaking of Parcells ...

... he once offered a hilarious one-liner when he coached the Giants back in the day. deckchair.jpg

Parcells had always battled weight problems, but one year - I'm thinking it was 1986 or 1987 - he showed up a few pounds lighter. When a reporter asked him about it during a press conference, Parcells quipped: "Yeah, I lost about 10 pounds or so ... but that's like throwing a deck chair off the Queen Mary."

These days, Parcells really is much fitter than he was back then. In fact, he looks so healthy and well-rested that it's probably only a matter of time before he throws his hat back in the ring looking for another heading coaching job. Or perhaps a general manager.
