Good job of being specific and proactively heading off any questions about his little black book, etc.

Mr. Wiley out of the four teams you played for which was your favorite to play for and which was your favorite opposing town to visit?

On Mike & Mike in the Morning in recent weeks, you described Bill Parcells as a great X's and O's guy, but said he fell short on the Y's. Can you expound on both comments?

Mr. Wiley,

Thank you for taking the time to answer Cowboy Fan questions.

You have been associated with both the San Diego Chargers and the Dallas Cowboys. Do you have any insight into how the Chargers organization felt about having there team raided of personel in the 2006 off season, how the players delt with that and what your thoughts might be for what the Cowboys might face in simular circumstances this off season?

Do you hate Bayless as much as us Cowboy fans do? :)

Its obvious he hates the Cowboys and he sounds like a idiot trying to bash the Cowboys. Welker over T.O.? Eli over Romo for the next 5 years...?

Mr. Wiley,

First of all, thanks for taking the time to answer our questions.

You played under Wade Phillips in Buffalo. How does he (and the Phillips 34 system) compare to playing for Bill Parcells in Dallas? Also, what was the general perception of the team in Buffalo of Coach Phillips (especially going through such controversies as the Flutie/Johnson QB debate, the Music City Miracle, an 0-2 playoff record, and ultimately his disagreement in dismissing the ST coach)?

Mr. Wiley,


How much sense does it make for the Patriots to already be crowned GOAT considering the fact they'll probably play against a Colts team they struggled so much against who played without Marvin Harrison and most of the game without Anthony Gonzalez who's proven to already be more than just a work in progress? And even if they play again, there will be no Dwight Freeney who was a major reason Brady struggled so much of that game going into the 4th quarter and if the Pats "survive" against an '07 team like they did last time, not even including the luck in Baltimore, how much sense will it make to call them better than the 78 Steelers, 98 Niners and 93 Cowboys like ESPN seems to hellbent on doing.

What was it like playing in Buffalo? Not much social life in those parts?

Did Parcells really sit you down early in training camp and ask you if you were on drugs?

Hey Marcellus,


Impressive start to your broadcasting career.

What do you see as the future direction for defenses in the NFL to be successful?

Having played the game, what is the one thing that most people watching it on television never understand??

You seemed to be more effective in a system where the defensive end was allowed to penetrate rather than "read & react", from your perspective what's the advantage of one system over the other?

Mr. Wiley,

Thank you for taking the time to answer Cowboys questions and congratulations on an outstanding beginning to your broadcast career.

I noticed that you commented in a recent broadcast that coach Parcells was correct in moving you more toward run defense rather than as a pass rush specialist during your stay in Dallas.

Do you think Parcells could have handled the matter in a more diplomatic way on a communication level at the time in order to make better sense of the transition?

Please explain the reason you called yourself "Dat Dude"

Were you after Dat Nguyen in line or something?

Mr Wiley,

How do you feel about the whole cheating fiasco with the Patriots, and the accusations by many fans that the refs call in the Patriots favor? And, how do you feel the Cowboys would fare against the Patriots if they met them again in the Superbowl?
