When Hard-Nosed meets Stupid
2008-05-23 01:16:00 When the Dolphins hired Bill Parcells to run the show everybody knew what they were getting. Hard-nosed, big, and tough is what Parcells brings to the table. But where do you draw the line between old fashioned and Hard-nosed, and just downright stupid.I think the line has been crossed. Tony Sparano is the man the Bill Parcells made head coach to help instill his style of play into his team. Tony Sparano is also the man who just recently called out the Dolphins' best player, Jason Taylor.Sparano recently escalated the feud going on between the team and Jason Taylor by saying,?I know that Jason is not going to be at any (offseason workouts), know that Jason is not going to be at any minicamps, and I know that, right now, Jason is not going to be at training camp. So that?s what we know. Jason is a player under contract with the Miami Dolphins. He knows that. Both parties are well aware of the information. That is all I am going to say about it. I am going to talk about our players n...

Jason Taylor Mad with Bill Parcells, Tony Sparano and The Miami Dolphins?
2008-05-22 04:49:00 Folks I’m MAD...what the HELL is this new Miami Dolphins organization doing? Why is my homie, Jason Taylor upset? What is Bill Parcells and the new head coach, Tony Sparano, doing to Jason Taylor? They must be saying or doing some rather brutal things for this loyal and All Star, Pro Bowl Defensive player to not want to participate with his beloved Miami Dolphin teammates. Jason Taylor is a true gentleman and has always been 100% with the Miami Dolphins - a true warrior. Something ain't right folks. Now, I almost lost it when they relaesed Zach Thomas, another true Dolphin...now there after Taylor. I’m telling you, this mess happens every year with this troubled team and I am so tried of it. I do trust Bill Parcells, he’s a proven winner, I feel he is needed here, but what’s going on? Could Bill Parcells be antagonizing, harassing my buddie, Jason(Superman) Taylor? Well, that’s what’s floating around in my Miami Dolphin mind, somebody saying something or somebody doing ...
Bill Parcells Gave Jason Taylor The Cold, Pasty, Liver-Spotted Shoulder
2008-04-29 07:53:00 In my last post, I gave the Dolphins front office a little props for possibly trading Jason Taylor so he could play for a team that competes. Well, according to this article in The Miami Herald, not everyone appears to be huge Taylor fans. Jason stopped by the Dolphins facilities to visit team mates participating ...

Bill Parcells Building Dolphins for 4-3 Not 3-4 - RealFootball.com
2008-03-03 23:47:00 Personally, I prefer a hybrib combination defense, but regardless, Dolphins Guru of Rebuilding Bill Parcells is gathering talent suitable for a 4-3 defense and not a 3-4. Let's see if it's enough to help their leaky run defense of last year.
Happy non-official Holiday!
2008-02-03 18:41:00 As I wrestled through the aisles of my local Fortune 500 grocers, I was reminded how today is the most holiday-like of non-holidays. Usually Sunday-morning grocery shopping is a rather tranquil affair. Not today ? people with overflowing grocery carts and a few women looking a little too stressed about the day?s preparations. ...
Video: Chad Johnson Asks Bill Parcells To Bring Him To The Miami Dolphins
2008-01-27 02:37:00 While mingling in Arizona for Super Bowl week, Chad Johnson is asked by a reporter if he’d be wearing orange and black next season, and in true Chad fashion he gave an interesting answer. “Maybe [i’ll be wearing] aqua, teal, and white. Parcells call me, stop playin around man..” At this point we know four things. 1. Chad ...

Super Patriots: Ranking the Super Bowl Teams
2008-01-25 03:29:00 I was asked today which Patriots Super Bowl team is my favorite.That's like asking me to pick which of my children is my favorite ? or which Seasonal Sam Adams brew I like the best. It's nearly impossible to choose.That said, I'm suffering from a massive case of writer's block tonight (no beer left, can't think without beer). Since I have no ideas of my own, I figured I'd give it a shot.I'm leaving the 1985 Patriots off the list for a couple of reasons:1) I can't take any team quarterbacked by Tony Eason seriously.2) I was 6-years-old.3) The Patriots weren't the best team in the AFC that season, they just caught an overconfident Miami Dolphins team in the AFC championship.4) Because of the 1985 Patriots, the Super Bowl Shuffle, Mike Ditka, and Refrigerator Perry all live on. I cannot forgive them for this.It's amazing, after suffering through a 1-15 season, a 2-14 season, coaches like Pete Carroll, Rod Rust, etc. that I'm actually discussing my favorite Patriots Super Bow...
NFL Draft Strategy: The Miami Dolphins
2008-01-24 08:12:00 To keep up with my writing quota during the NFL off-season, I?ll be taking a team-by-team look at draft day strategy. I?ll follow it up with my NFL mock draft about two weeks before the draft. (I understand that we're not in the off-season yet, but I can't stand the bye week...especially when the Patriots are involved)For the next couple of months, just consider me the Mel Kiper Jr. of Bleacher Report?complete with fantastic hair and an undeserved sense of self appreciation.Since the Dolphins have been on the clock since mid-October, we?ll start with them.Outside of running-back, the Dolphins are a team in need of a complete roster overhaul. They?re either old, thin, or empty at every position. The smart move would be to trade out of the number one overall pick and try to get as many first day picks as possible.If they stick with the first overall pick (which they probably will, as there might be a fan revolt in Miami if they suffered through Cam Cameron and aren?t rewarded with t...
The NFL Picks Column: Wild Card Edition
2008-01-04 08:17:00 Apparently, I've graduated from "Scribe" to "Analyst" at Bleacher Report.In celebration, I got stupid-drunk and wrote this wonderful picks column!In case you missed it, I've been pretty busy this week. I tried to provide hope to the hopeless by telling everyone why their teams were going to win this weekend. My first 2 part Bleacher Report column (part 1: NFC and part 2: AFC)!Now that I'm done shilling my own work, here's a couple of quick NFL news related items before I get to the picks:It's good to see the voters getting the post-season NFL awards correct for a change. So far Adrian Peterson winning offensive rookie of the year, with Joe Thomas in second, was right on the money. And Bill Belichick winning coach of the year was surprising considering how many people he ticked off, but dead right.How can you go 16-0 and not win coach of the year?Cam Cameron, we hardly knew ye. I'm just glad Parcells stayed away from the New England front office and coaching staff.I still th...
Parcells Takes What He Wants
2008-01-02 23:59:00 What?s good for the Dolphins is probably going to be very bad for the Dallas Cowboys. Bill Parcells probably hasn?t even finished moving his elephant collection (Trunks up for good luck.) into his new office, but he?s already well along in the business of rebuilding the franchise.

Bill Parcells Updates
2007-12-19 21:30:00 I created a new post for the Parcells talk and will keep it updated as the day rolls along, with the most recent news at the top: **UPDATE#6**: Here's the latest, courtesy of ESPN.com: Parcells is almost certain to land in Miami after Dolphins owner Wayne Huizenga sent word Wednesday to Parcells that he has decided not to sell the team, sources have told ESPN's Chris Mortensen and Len Pasquarelli. Parcells has a four-year agreement in place to become the Dolphins vice president of football operations -- the identical role he had negotiated with Falcons owner Arthur Blank, a Dolphins source said. Parcells is expected to sign a contract in the next 48 hours, and sources say it unlikely to fall through as it did with the Falcons. Very interesting that Wayne is now saying that he won't sell the team. That is quite possibly the reason why Bill suddenly turned down the Atlanta gig. And that makes a lot of sense. However, don't get too excited until we hear that it is off...

The basic gist of his statement was that the ...

Dick Jauron Getting Love from Bill Parcells
2007-12-05 03:34:00 Good to see that a respected football mind, such as the one Bill Parcells possesses, is noticing the steady hand of Dick Jauron (media courtesy of ESPN Video): Very cool stuff indeed. We discussed last week Jauron's being a good fit in Buffalo; it's nice to have that opinion backed up by a guy as intelligent as Parcells. Jauron's going to get this team to the post-season; it's just a matter of when.
Why I No Longer Like Randy Moss, And Why T.O. Is Better
2007-10-18 01:42:00 A longwinded rant from a hardcore football fan. I’m not one of those old school NFL fans who frown upon the new-school athletes and their “questionable” antics. Up until last season I was a big fan of Randy Moss. I thought his “straight cash homey” declaration was genius, I didn’t think it was a big ...
