Tuna in Trouble?

03-03-2008, 05:35 PM

Anyone see this article regarding Bill Parcells adn how he flies under the leagues radar? pretty interesting. its on the rumor mill on PFT. heres a small snippet.

Pro Football Talk

This time around, however, Parcells might have provided the league with enough ammunition to act. A league source recently pointed out to us this nugget from Peter King's "Ten Things I Think" in his MMQB: "I think you shouldn't make too much of this, but Bill Parcells, czar of the Dolphins, holder of the first pick in the draft, called Boston College coach Jeff Jagodzinski the other day and requested video of every one of quarterback Matt Ryan's 654 passes last fall. I still say Ryan at No. 3, to Atlanta, makes the most sense. "
But there's a problem with that. The source said that this practice is "very much against league rules, which forbid teams from contacting college teams for college video."

Re: Tuna in Trouble?

there are about 3 other things mentioned that he did in the past. I didnt want to cut and paste the whole article. Maybe Parcells isnt the great guy everyone thinks, then again half the people in the NFL probably arent

Re: Tuna in Trouble?

It's being speculated that Bill may have leaked this information himself to drum up interest in Matt Ryan or to give the illusion we're interested in him. I don't think the NFL will do a thing it's not exactly and edge to anyone come gameday.

Great...The AFC East might have to change their name to AFC Cheats with a family tree of Parcells, Belicheck and Mangini running things.

We should be given extra draft picks for being the only honest team in the division.

I hardly think what Bill and Eric have done is considered serious.

Can't say much about Parcells, but if the filming goes back to 2000 Mangini isn't exactly an innocent bystander.

I don't blame Mangina for BB's cheating ways.

If more allegations are proven, BB wasn't the only one cheating. The entire organization benefitted, and possibly were involved, including Mangini, Weiss, Crennel, et al.

One guy may have ordered the filming and whatever else was going on, but amny were involved in the process.
