I was only able to view the first part of it but then I read the various comments which repeated the type of questions the sportswriters were asking. The media likes to grade the draft and Parcells' coaching tenure, I think the fans should grade the media.
I would give them a D today. They spent an inordinate amount of time questioning Parcells about TO. They have beaten that horse to death. They didn't seem too interested in discussing the draft, the health of the players recovering from injuries, where will be the most competitive positions, etc.
They wanted to grill Parcells rather than collect information. One writer had already stated she wanted to get Parcells on record regarding TO so if he left after this year he could not use TO as an excuse for leaving. They are already trying to start a controversy before this season starts whether Bill will leave or stay for another year.
It seems they would be more concerned about the talent and condition of the talent on the field and BP's anticipated success for this season rather than whether he might use some excuse about leaving should he leave.
If he leaves what does it matter what excuse he uses? The issue is whether he leaves or we get a new HC, not what kind of excuse he gives. How asinine can you get?
Why do they grill him over and over about his relationship with Jerry?
JJ and BP have both stated fifty eleven hundred times they have a good relationship and enjoy working together but the press won't quit.
THE PRESS IS NOT COMPRISED OF SPORTSWRITERS THAT ARE REPRESENTNG THE FANS. THE MOST OF THESE PEOPLE ARE ONLY INTERESTED IN CONTROVERSY AND KEEPING SOMETHING STIRRING ALL THE TIME. It is obvious by the kind of questions they ask. They stay in an adversarial mode all the time. I don't blame BP going into hibernation after the season. When your season ends the last thing you want is to continue to put up with hostile adversarial people.
How would you grade the performance of the Press today?
