Parcells found Romo and kept him on the roster even when management WANTED DREW HENSON! He drafted Demarcus Ware, Marcus Spears, and Terrence Newman  who he turned into a shut down corner and lets not forget he also drafted Jason Witten in the third round!  He also drafted the two headed punch at Running back of Julius Jones and Marion Barber III and brought in all the receivers on the roster that T.O. boasts so much about (I'm a fan of Crayton and Hurd but don't you dare believe they wouldn't be cut if Keyshawn said he'd pay for the same salary they're getting). 

Maybe the atmosphere Parcells created wasn't ideal for the general psyche of this team and that's fine but don't knock a man who put a lot of effort into this team and even brought you on board and dealt with your bull for a season (do we forget the pills incident or the WR coach blowups?) and still begrudge him because he didn't mention your name in press conferences.  Bill Parcells has become a punching bag for the 'boys and that's not fair or right.  He hasn't retaliated with a single comment even though he stands with the WWL's pulpit at his disposal where it would be played hour after hour like you know it would. He has given his honest and fair opinions on the Cowboys without any malicious intent.

 

The fact the new head coach / owner's sock puppet makes a comment about mentioning #81's name in his very first press conference is a testimony to the unexplainable vindictive nature of this team towards Parcells.  You can argue that Parcells did a better job  with the Cowboys, than he ever did with the Jets.   Does anyone remember the laughing stock team he inherited that consisted of Quincy Carter, Troy Hambrick, and Dan Campbell? DOES ANYONE EVEN REMEMBER TROY HAMBRICK? Bill took them out of cap hell, brought in viable talent, and restored order to "America's Team".

I feel bad for Parcells as he sits at the NFL Live set and has to hear these numb skull comments from a team that without him, would be complaining about Dave Campo and his draft picks that consisted of Dwayne Goodrich, Quincy Carter, Pete Hunter, and Tony Dixon (with one exception being Roy Williams who is as overrated a safety as there is in this league as it is but a solid player) that stuck this team in cellar dweller turmoil.

It's like Parcells dropped the coin into the slot machine, walked away for a second and Phillips pulled the lever and got all cherries. Maybe Instead of Mentioning T.O.'s name, Wade Phillips should mention Bill Parcells and thank him for setting up the jackpot for him. 

P.S. Notice i didn't mention his name either ;)
