Default Parcells story typical April Fools garbage

I figured that as soon as I saw it, but being somewhat paranoid I looked around the sites like ESPN, etc to make sure.

Getting confirmation that this story isn't real is sort of like getting confirmation that the earth is round.

I wonder if ESPN could pull a War of the Worlds panic if they tried to do the same as Pro Football Talk. Or better yet, CNN's website.

The funny thing is that PFT posts April Fools stories throughout the year

I thought CNN already does this stuff. Oh wait, that's CBS and Mike Wallace. My bad.

What was the story? I missed it. I got fooled once by a website on April Fools a few years ago, since then I just don't beleive anything I read for a day.

The one that fooled me was a Lord of the Rings fansite (yes I'm a nerd). It said that the release of the first movie was being pushed back a year because of technical difficulties. I was pissed for about an hour until I figured it out.
