I absolutely love that Parcells got up and left Press Conference

I know he didn't exactly storm off, but he isn't allowing any stupidity right now. Told the press that TO is sucking them in and that TO is hearing EVERYTHING he is saying and could quote it 3 weeks later. He says this is the time of year to up the intensity and acted like sitting there with the questions he was getting was a big waste of time.

This is exactly what the team needs. He BELIEVES in their ability to do something now and he is going to do whatever he can to keep the team focussed.

I love it. Sends an awesome message albeit a minor one. I thought the Gramatica/Vanderjagt move was amazing and gutsy as well, not because it paid off last week either. It said that the organization will kick your arse off the team even if you have a huge successful history and got a big fat contract, UNLESS you produce.

The roster churning is awesome as well. Parish fills a hole since Davis isn't likely to get any better and Watkins obviously hit a wall and probably has a confidence problem at this point. Another true veteran RB might be good for emergencies and the team is looking at that.

This is where Parcells experience and his intensity is gonna pay off. If anyone can keep the players focussed at this time, I think we have the coach to do it.

This team needs to ratchet it up one more notch from consistent and move the mood up to downright nasty and scary. We need to go out and smack a team or two solidly in the mouth now. Really make a statement and get teams a little more worried about playing us. A bye and some home games should be the expectation and no longer a pipe dream. Great turn around, now the Cowboys control their own destiny in division and it starts with getting the edge over New Orleans.

Parcells hates doing the Friday PC's and has very little patience for the nonsense questions the media there asks him. I don't blame him at all for not wanting to deal with the other non-relevant crap when a big game is two days away.

Good post I agree 100%. The coach has upped the intensity level. The media was just being dumb(laughing like teenage kids).

It won't. Irvin will pull him aside off the field and Terry Glenn in the lockerroom. Romo is not McNabb in the ego sense so they will not butt heads. Witten has his goodside, Akin Ayodele and a Terence Newman are bonded with the guy as well.

Don't fall for the ESPN trap.

Just curious which reporter pushed Parcells' button and instigated his premature departure.

Sorry, Bill, but the Giants tried the "us against the media" gambit last week and it didn't work. Won't work for you either. The only ones getting "sucked in" are the sheep. Again.

Hey BBGUN

Are you a huge Underdog fan? Buddy of mine runs a Collectible/Comic/Sportscard store. They just got a wicked Underdog Christmas Ornament in. Thought you might want to know.

As for "us against the media" approach. That wasn't really what Parcells was doing today. He was doing the more "I don't have time for this silly crap right now" approach, he wasn't suggesting the media was against him or team, or even trying to stir stuff up with TO. He was kinda joking with them about that.

The impression I got, that I loved, was that he's BUSY putting the pressure on the team and getting everyone digging deep, turning over all the stones for roster, and keeping focussed. They are on a mission type attitude, and I love it! I hope it works!

New Orleans is a big game in terms of playoff position and I think Atlanta will be healthy when we play them, so that will be a bunch tougher than we might think. Blow 2 games and the sky could be falling again!

We need to send a statement here. I'd love to smash a team in the mouth with a very decisive win against another division leader. The rest of NFC would freak out.

Can anyone take that final minute or so from the PC and youtube it??? Sorry, I am no computer whiz and hoping someone else out there is.
That "you guys got Sucked" line was classic Parcells!!

It wasn't "us against the media" at all, it was more like "y'all are a bunch of sensationalist idiots and I don't have time for this."
