LongLiveRalph Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 When hearing a recap of the Dolphins' upset of New England, several different times yesterday and today, various media outlets referred to "The first win of the Bill Parcells Era in Miami." The media love for Parcells is well-known, but for Christsakes, perhaps a little credit to "The first win for the Tony Sparano Era"???? You know, the guy who actually came up with the game plan and coached the team to victory? Because you know if they lost, reports would've said that "Tony Sparano has fallen to 0-3 in his coaching career and is still searching for his first win." It just struck me as funny the first time I heard it, much less the fourth and fifth times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Tony is Bill's boy and one in the same as far as I'm concerned. Sure, props to Tony, but Parcells brought him up in Dallas and brought him along to Miami... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The media, at least in My Yami, will eviscerate Sparano the next time his team loses, even if it's a close one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongLiveRalph Posted September 22, 2008 Author Share Posted September 22, 2008 Tony is Bill's boy and one in the same as far as I'm concerned. Sure, props to Tony, but Parcells brought him up in Dallas and brought him along to Miami... Oh I agree...Certainly Parcells looms large over everything in Miami, and deserves some credit for a big road win. However, it just struck me as funny, knowing that if the Fins go 10-6, the media claims it a Parcells masterpiece. If they finish 4-12, the media will call it a long first year for Sparano.

BuffOrange Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Get to work ya bum. I don't understand why everyone takes Fridays off instead of Mondays when they need to kill vacation time. I'd have been as productive as JP in the pocket if I went in today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
