Parcells takes over
I wrote about Bill Parcells taking over in Miami for today's newspaper, so here's a look. I essentially sing his praises as a talent evaluator, despite the fact he's had his share of clunkers over the years.
Bottom line: Every program he's been a part of has improved dramatically during his tenure.
Oh, and check out the headline on this one. It's a clever one from Newsday headline whiz Greg Gutes, who always gets it done in the trenches of the newsroom. Gutes and I go back to our Gannett days - he in Poughkeepsie, me in Westchester - and he once thanked me for getting my copy in early after an Islanders-Canucks playoff game in Vancouver. In 1982. I believe that was the game Mike Bossy scored a goal in mid-air after being tripped by a Canucks' defenseman.

Hate to admit this, but your piece on Parcells was really good.
Lot of good words like "smarmy" and "ignominy"...
I am NOT looking forward to playing them next season.
Wasn't there some room in the Jets front office for Bill?
If he was such a great mentor to our guys and he was on the market, I wonder if he was approached about coming back in...maybe you could ask him that.
Also, congrats to Tom Rock for coming back into the picture with his picks...he was so far behind, I thought Staple was going to lap him...
He is a couple of games under .500 with a best bets record of something like 3-11.
