Would Parcells Allow The Long Dredlocks?...

[CaptainAmerica]

...you can say I'm old -fashioned, too conservative, whatever you want, but I hope to goodness Parcells would never allow the long dredlocks you see on several players these days. Yes I know Keith Davis could have them, but his hair doesn't hang out his helmet and down his back like a lot of the players who have them.


Steven Jackson's are bad enough, but has anyone seen the Lion's db? Those things are "dred-ful".

Sign of the times my friend. Parcells is more interested in how a guy performs. They could wear their hair anyway they like if their on the field making plays.

 

[Gordon]

He allows Dan Campbell, Kurt Vollers, etc. to sport the long hair, so I dont see why not.

Plus, we were pursuing a trade for Mr. Dreadlocks himself, Mike McKenzie during the middle of the season last year.

 

[CactusCowboy]

Also, Keith's hair is pretty crazy.........

 

[Chief]

I doubt that he cares.

He's hip now. He's got a young girlfriend. He tinkered with his hair color a couple of years ago.


What I've found truly incredible about this Monday Night game so far is that Al Michaels has done it again.

He found a way to work Jerry Rice into the dialogue. He just said Isaac Bruce is the type of receiver that could play a long time because he keeps himself in shape like JERRY RICE. You can almost see the drool dripping off Michaels' chin as he enthusiastically drops the name of his favorite 49er.

Amazing.

He's got the rest of the game to find a way to work Steve Young and Joe Montana into the conversation.

I'm sure Madden will squeeze a Brett Favre comment in there as well.

He just finsihed doing his normal rambling about obvious stuff a minute ago. Michaels mentioned how Dane Looker was now the Rams 5th WR, and Madden felt it necessary to explain that that the reason he's the #5 WR is that there's 4 guys ahead of him.

 

[goshan]

yes. next.

 

[Chief]

I'm sure Madden will squeeze a Bret Favre comment in there as well.

Oh, he will.

That'll come up when they start talking about the Lions' chances of winning the division.

"Ya can't count out Green Bay with Brett Favre still playing. Ol' Brett. Heh heh. He loves to play the game. Heh heh."

Maybe so, but man I'm glad none of our guys have that look. Somehow I can't see Belichik and the Pats having that look on their team, either.

I don't think the look has anything with the player's ability to play. Ricky Williams' problems had nothing to do with his ability to gouge a defense with his running ability.

You're worried about the wrong thing. What in hell does hair have to do with performance?

 

[Chief]

Michaels: " ..... the Silverdome, where the 49ers won the first of their five Super Bowls."

[Billy Bullocks]

We arent the yankees, so I dont see player apperance, at least haircut mean anything. Some may be rastafarian and have them for religious purposes.

BTW, who cares about a guys haircut?

 

[Chief]

The enigma that is Jeff Garcia.

He looks like a 60-year-old homeless man.

Owens hints that he's gay.

Yet, supposedly this guy dates Playboy playmates.

Go figure.

See that is where I disagree with a lot of people. The look DOES in many cases reveal what is going on inside a player.

I for one, was not the least bit surprised by Bob Marley..err, Ricky's love for the weed.

 

[Sifillest]

parcells dont give a damn....you think hes going to piss on julius jones if he comes with dreads?hell, some white guys get dreads also....what if bledsoe came with em? man as long as the players play.....to the best of their ability.....who gives a damn?

 

[stilltheguru]

very *** thread.that is all

 

[FRDRCK]

Marion Barber has dreads even though they are not very long they do come out of the helmet. And they are longer than in this picture.

I hope Bill never gets so old he makes a federal case over hair length.

Whether it be Jamaica Rector dreads, Terry Glenn's ex-braids, or Dan Campbell's long flowing locks.

It's irrelevant.
