Unrelated topic, but interesting all the same, are the stories out today about Bill Parcells pushing his new book, and the “revelation” that he and Belichick feuded for years over BB resigning from the Jets’ job to take the Pats’ job two days after Parcells quit. To paraphrase Parcells: “He (BB) made a deal and then tried to get out of it. You break a deal, you’re going to pay.” Not sure what he meant by BB “paying,” but I do know the Pats had to fork over their 2000 first rounder to the NYJ in order for the NYJ to let him out of his contract. Maybe that’s what Parcells meant? Anyway, it will be interesting to see the local media’s reaction to that “money” quote, since the guy who said it seemingly made a career out of signing, and then trying to get out of long-term coaching deals going all the way back to the week after he won his first Super Bowl with the Giants in January of ’87, when he allegedly had contact with Tampa Bay about their coaching job but was told by the Giants, in no uncertain terms, that he had a valid contract and that they weren’t letting him out of it. Folks around here know, of course, that he asked Kraft to “alter” his original five-year Pats deal signed when Orthwein was the owner, after the 1995 season, so that ’96 would be Parcells’ last contractually obligated season in NE. Then, of course, came the phone calls (which we found out about years later) he made to the Jets’ Hempstead, NY facilities from his New Orleans hotel room during Super Bowl week in ’97. So….it will be interesting to see if the anti-BB media hacks simply regurgitate Parcells’ storyline, or if they actually call him out for his blatant hypocrisy about the sancity of coaching contracts.
