fire Parcells from his analyst role:
ESPN and ESPN.com were running with a story saying that Parcells was about to sign a deal with the Atlanta Falcons. This afternoon we learned that Parcells and the Falcons won't be joining forces. It seems as though Parcells was using the Falcons — and ESPN — to get leverage with the team he really wants to go to, the Miami Dolphins.
I suppose that's possible, but it's also true that Chris Mortensen, who was responsible for "breaking" the Atlanta non-story, is at least mildly retarded. He gets his proper due over at KSK this morning:
ESPN's Chris Mortensen has learned that ESPN.com's Len Pasquarelli reports that ESPN’s Bill Parcells is now in Miami, preparing to sign offer sheet to become VP of Dolphins. Parcells will sign the offer, unless he does not.
From there, it progresses naturally on to discussion of cloning velociraptors, which obviously isn't true. That's more the sort of thing that Peter Angelos would do (if it didn't cost so much.)


As a mildly retarded person, I find your comment offensive; I'm way smarter that Chris Mortensen.
Parcells is a loser. He used to be the head coach of the New England Patriots and we had so many sh*tty years under his watch.
Belichick rules.
So, the countdown to the Tuna taking over the Dolphin's head coaching job has officially begun?
Cam Cameron's asshole puckered a little bit when he heard Parcells was coming to town…
Parcells is a fat ass-pussy, but he succeeds everywhere he goes. Belicheck blew in Cleveland, and coudn't find success until he started cheating.
If this turns into a thread about the Pats and Belichick, everyone's banned.
I just don't see the point. I think the only thing that can fix the Dolphins at this point, short of sending Matt down there for six hours with his ballpeen hammer, is an earthquake similar to the one that will remove California one of these days.
I say ban them both. Do you know how many Dolphins die each year due to being caught in fishing nets harvesting TUNA from the Oceans? It's a damn disgrace you dirrrrty ape.
I'm not a huge Parcells fan, but the guy has won a couple of SB's, and lost another.
I was in New England for the Berry, Rust, MacPherson. I'll leave it at that.
@bp, crossing fingers for earthquake to remove Cali and Florida one of these days
accepted the job as president of football operations in Miami
Holy crap! They suck at football down there, now they wanna try football operations? Kevin Everett is glad he wasn't in Miami when he broke his neck.
Earthquakes won't remove Cali. Rather, it will be nuclear missiles launched by Gene Hackman.
Say what you want about Parcells being a dick, but he's been successful everywhere he's gone. I'd take him coaching or running the Bears over just about anyone we've had in my lifetime.
As for Mortensen, I don't believe 80 percent of the stories he 'breaks'.
Parcells set the foundation for the Jets to be the juggernaut they are today.
He made big progress in Dallas for Jessica Simpson to destroy too.
Miami is at least 2 years away from an 8-8 season. Parcells needs to bring son-in-law Scott Pioli over if he wants to build a winner. But I expect in less than 18 months Jason Taylor will be on the Patriots. It will happen somehow, ala the Randy Moss effect.
I'm waiting for Mortenses to break the story that John Clayton is really a mutated, underdeveloped raptor fetus created during an early Parcells experiment. That's a story I could believe.
*Mortensen
<— douche-fag
Do you know the Dolphin? Does he call you at home? Do you have a dorsal fin? To train ze dolphin you must zink like ze dolphin! You must be getting inside ze dolphin's head. I am saying to Snowflake, "Akay!… Akay Akay Akay?" und he is saying "AKay Akay!" und he is up on ze tail "Eeeeeeeeee!" und you can quote him!
/any excuse to quote Ace Ventura
ESPN's Chris Mortenson is reporting that famed British agent James Bond was assigned to protect the Tuna during his Superbowl run with the NY Giants, but was replaced by a much gayer Pierce Brosnan when Parcells took the Jets gig just a few yrs later
John Clayton is MDS' nerdier, more freakish older brother.
I just heard that the source of Mortensen's "breaking" Tuna to ATL story was none other than Kirk Herbstreit…
Heckuva job of fact checkin' there, ESPN….heck of a job….
Just what south Florida needs, another old man with dyed hair that connects the waist band of his pants to the underwiring of his "bro".
Matt, wtf with the talking ad about hair styling? First, no ad should just start jabbering on like that without warning. Its unsettling. But second, who the hell cares about "the latest revolution in styling"? I know coin is coin, but is someone really paying you to post that?
CF4O – that'd be a smart ad, it puts an ad up there that is pertinent to things that you've been browsing the web about. So, it's not Matt's fault. It's you are your lifeless mop, c'mon man, put a little bounce in that!
(i have "get wet with jess" and a screen cap of Jessica Romo in a bikini washing a car, not sure what i've been searching, but it ain't bad)
So the over/under for years before Parcells leaves Miami with everyone pissed at him is what…2 years?
ESPN'S Chris Mortensen has learned that ESPN's Len Pasquerelli reported that ESPN's John Clayton informed ESPN's Sean Salsibury that ESPN's Ron Jawarski spoke with ESPN's Bill Parcells regarding a story by ESPN's Chris Mortensen about breaking news from ESPN's Len Pasquerelli's report….
@Punch – Don't leave us hanging man, that shit sounds breaking
What else could possibly happen to the Falcons?, Can't they just lose, make bad picks, sign old free agents, and lose some more in peace?
No, still havent' seen it after looking at all the posts. There's a perfect joke out there involving tuna and dolphins and fishing and nets and I will NOT REST until i figure it out. I'll even post here in ten years if it takes me that long.
That Tuna bitch sure does have some nice titties though
