Bill Parcells said there is no rift between himself and Jason Taylor, although he didn't call Taylor by name, referring to him several times as ``the player.'' Parcells also explained his role in what Taylor considered a snub: "I'm not trying to make an excuse, but there was no intentional, calculated, or disrespectful thing that I personally did," Parcells said. "I know that for a fact. I wasn't paying attention and I didn't see him and I didn't hear him. That's the truth. That's what happened from my perspective."

If he cant see or hear that well, he might want to find another job..

Taylor should just respond saying I have no rift with that old coach who cant commit to one team for more then a year or two.

Sleeveless Bill doesn't mess up like this.

He had to explain? He's a jerk...tada, there's your explanation.

VERY VERY BIG egotistical ****. Parcells loves to play mind games.

I would sure hate to have Sparano's job with that huge SHARK looking over my shoulder. Oh I meant TUNA.

So the NFL championship ring bearing VP has more authority than a single player on his team? And the player isn't named Tom Brady, Brett Favre, or Peyton Manning? No surprise there.

And no surprise that a highly paid player who has lately received a lot of TV exposure wants to run the show his way now...while his teammates were sweating in camp. Like we haven't seen this before? Simply said, Jason Taylor is in trouble with his boss for missing work. And let there be no doubt, like him or not, Parcells is the boss , not Taylor. Why? The owner says so.

If one of us was in this situation, we either acknowledge that the boss is in charge and figure out a way to work with him...or you leave...or you get fired. Of course in Taylor's case, you go to another team and get paid millions. Or go dancing on TV.

Wish us normal folks had those type of options.

His fat roll came around faster than the club head.

Bill probably ain't telling the truth.

I saw Parcells do this when he was with the Cowboys. If you get on his bad side, you'll be there for awhile. Especially if he doesn't ever call a player by his name. That's a sure side of his dislike for someone. And believe it, Taylor is on Parcell's badboys list. At least for now.

Parcells needs to stay his butt in the office and do his job, don't come out, don't coach from the box. LET YOUR COACHING STAFF COACH THE TEAM. YOU MAKE CONTRACTS.

Of course this could all be Parcells posturing to show Taylor he's in charge. Parcells probably wants Taylor back so he can run him thru endless sprints in camp and beat him down. Then if Taylor sticks around after all that abuse, maybe he can be a Parcells playa after all!

flattering photo of parcells. His male cameltoe is a trainwreck.

Go wrassle some sweaty man, Greco. You should be ashamed of the physical appearance of the Tuna. He has the body of an 86 year old lunch lady.
