Coach Parcells shows no mercy
When he was coaching the Jets a decade ago, Bill Parcells saw one of his players throwing up during a workout session and yelled, ``Throw up on your own time.'' As the Patriots coach before that, Parcells spotted one of his players passed out from an energy-sapping training camp test. ''When he wakes up,'' Parcells yelled at trainers, ``tell him I just cut him.'' As the Cowboys coach, Parcells put an offensive lineman on the physically-unable-to-perform list because he flunked the portion of the infamous Parcells conditioning test that required him to run three separate 300-yard shuttles inside a specified time. The player was Pro Bowl guard Larry Allen -- the Cowboys' highest-paid player at the time. Are you getting the idea that conditioning is important to Bill Parcells?"

Are you getting the idea that his fat arse couldn't take a dozen pushups before he'd pass out? I know, I know, he doesn't have to but, in the Army, we were always told to lead by example.

You took the words right out of my mouth, Hooah.
Parcells is a big believer in "do as I say, not as I do".

I really have problems with that kind of stories, especially when you know that over the past decade, there were some tragic deaths during summer camps...

Aymeric, agreed.
That "only wimps vomit and pass out" attitude has killed a few guys, and will kill a bunch more. And it'll probably be even worse at the college level.

Well...you all know how the old saying goes...:
"If your not a physician or physical trainer....and you need to build a team of athletes...just over exert them to the point of passing out or vomiting...same great results."

When a player does not wake up.. lets see how much he talks then. He can coach but his lack of common sense in conditioning is sad.
