I saw on another board that Parcells said Keith Davis was one of his favorite players here?...
And yes, Emmitt is indeed awful. I have to mute the TV when he's on, it's so embarrassing.

I feel for Emmitt, he constantly has to go back and correct himself as he's talking.
I think Parcell's is doing good but refuses to look into the camera. His eyes are always focusing on something else.
Did anyone catch the NFL network Total Access show? When I switched to it, they had a headline about Preseason Code of Ethics but were already cutting to commericial so I didn't get a chance to see what they said.

Considering the Eagles have won the NFC East 5 out of the last 6 seasons, is it okay for Parcells to suggest they might be better than the Cowboys at certain positions? Or is he just supposed to say the Cowboys are going 20-0 and winning the Superbowl? If I told you that we were going to lose Terrence Newman, Tony Romo and Demarcus Ware this year to injury, what do you think our chances are at winning the division? That's what the Eagles did last year winning the division with Lito Sheppard, Jevon Kearse and Donovan McNabb injured. Someone on that team must be pretty good.
Irvin was lowest common denominator analysis ... he who screams the loudest over everyone else is teh winnar. He was the bright shiny object jingling in front of the drooling masses.

I agree. Right now the Eagles are the East. This season we have a great chance to unseat them. Until some one does...........

They will give up their seats quietly. :starspin
Best OL... BAH
We'll see how it all shakes out at season's end. About Parcells saying the Eagles OL is best in the division, I just like giving him crap and will continue to do so until he looks me in the eyes when he's talking to me!

Perhaps, but everyone here has always been aware of Irvin's "loudness". Hell, even he knew about it when in a very classic moment on NFL Live, Mike Ditka pointed out to Irvin that "loud doesn't make it right". I laughed so hard that I thought I was going to fall straight out of my chair after coach said that.
Still, the point that was trying to be made here was that Irvin brings more to the table than Smith or Meshawn. He articulates well and gets his point across in layman's terms ("loudness" aside). Doesn't necessarily make him the best in this line of work but it most certainly means (imho) that he's a whole lot better than what they currently have.

Emmitt may be horrible and plain vanilla, but at the end of the day I'll take boring plain vanilla over someone who makes my ears bleed and gives me a migrane. Hopefully they can find a better replacement over Emmitt next season, but getting rid of Michael is a good start.

And they replaced Irvin with this guy? He calls Nick Saban "The Saban guy" Or he just refers to coaches by their last name. The days of the professional sportscaster are gone.
I respected him as a player. But I can't listen to his spew.
There's nothing worse than listening to a dumb guy talk who believes he's intelligent. He'll try and use "big" words and just comes off like ... well, like KeyShaun.

DEAR ESPN, FIRE EMMITT
One of these days, Emmitt Smith will show up at PFT headquarters and put his shoe so far up my *** that a lace will be protruding from a nostril.
But we can't keep quiet about this. Emmit was a great football player. He is unfit to be a broadcaster. He needs to go. Now.
Consider these lowlights from Monday night's pregame show, which we recorded so that we could get the quotes right.
First, Emmitt referred to his new colleague, former NFL coach Bill Parcells, simply as "Parcells."
Then, Emmitt got himself all tongue tied when talking about Mike Vick. Consider this passage: "let alone now spending three -- three years or whatever many -- however many time -- how much time he's away from the game."
Later, Emmitt made up a new word, using "trickilate" in place of "trickle."
Also, Emmitt generally needs to work on his conjugation of verbs. We understand that, in some settings, it's okay to speak in an informal, colloquial manner. But, when attempting to work as a broadcaster, it's time to talk correctly. You know, like a guy who has been to college.
It's not "he come," it's "he comes." It's not "he like," it's "he likes." It's not "all he have to do," it's "all he has to do."
There's simply no excuse for a guy who now makes a living by talking to talk so poorly. And to not demand that ESPN and other networks hire men and women who can speak properly sends a subtle message to the audience that it's perfectly okay for them to butcher the language, too.
And, please, don't send us a bunch of e-mails arguing that Emmitt is entitled to learn on the fly. There are plenty of people who could do that job better than Emmitt. He was hired for his name recognition, and nothing more. We're supposed to be impressed that ESPN was able to attract the all-time leading rusher -- and we're supposed to not notice that, if he played football like he comments on it, he would have been cut during the first week of camp.

Gotta agree with PFT on that one.
How about this: Keyshawn, Michael, and Emmitt all stink.
If it has to be a former player, which apparently it does, please hire one who can speak standard English and articulate his thoughts clearly. Those guys do exist. Why not Darren Woodson?
