Great Parcells Story - Told Walsh He'd Expose His Cheating

baadbill : 11/16/2018 12:52 pm
Fun story how Walsh, who scripted his own team's plays for their first series, intentionally sabotaged his own team's microphones (because they weren't needed) thus invoking the NFL rule requiring the Giants to turn off their own equipment... and how Parcells approached Walsh during the playoffs and told him to cut the crap.

But maybe just as interesting is the stat at the end:

Quote:
... 30 of the last 37 Super Bowls (including 17 of the last 18) have been won by Walsh, Parcells, and fellow Hall of Famer Joe Gibbs (the third coach featured), or by former assistants from the Walsh and Parcells coaching trees.

And their bandwagon fan base.

I’m so glad we beat them last week as their comeback fell short. Bummer!
Looks like a fun read

You suck as a poster.

Now that I've got that out of the way. Parcells in "the Blind Side" has also been quoted as saying "that scripting was a bunch of bullshit. They never got past play 9"

I often wonder how many of those Niners fans are Pats "fans" now.

That's such a great clip. And unlike a lot of hits that or that era that one would still be legal.

Was heartbreaking back in the day.

But I loved seeing Burt and LM bury Montana into the fucking ground.

Word from the bench is that everything hurts.

THAT was a team that was always a treat to watch. Nothing like a fearsome defense.

0.

The Niner fanbase my be fickle, but they're not bandwagon.

At least not now.

Those fans all went away in 2004.

Those hits were awesome but hated seeing the Burt cheap shot on Hoss in the 90 NFC title game
I guess Walsh...

wasn't enough of a genius to tell Bill to keep the garage doors on the stadium closed.
