Title: NFL Network RUMOR: Parcells/Sparano to Vikings in 2011
Post by: MikeO on November 24, 2010, 07:24:19 am
It was talked about on NFL Network last night. Lot's of rumors going around in Minny right now about that mess they have up there. With Parcells able to go where he wants and with Sparano most likely FIRED in Miami after this season. Might be a good match for the Vikings.

Rumors = stupidity. 

This is a speculative attempt to break a story that's not real.

I heard a rumor Jessica Alba was asking around for my phone number.

I think regime change after this year,would be foolish....regardless of what you think of the current regime....Peter King's MMQB last week,touched briefly on it....near the bottom...Food for thought......

Modified to add,I think if we hired from within,to soften the blow of the upcoming league turmoil...Mike Nolan would make the most sense from the current staff to promote to head coach.

I don't think the NFL Network is attempting to break any story. They were just going over the likely candidates who will wind up there as a head coach. And with a new regime about to take charge in Minny and with Parcells looking to get back in, and with Sparano on the hot seat in Miami. All the pieces are in place to make both likley candidates for jobs in Minny.

Plus the NFL NETWORK can break any story they want, its a network run by the league. I don't think they need to start rumors in an attempt to get a leg up on anything

NFL Network gets a lot of their "news" from Mike Florio of PFT, which is notorious for making stuff up that's not real.

I agree I said that a week ago on this site when someone was using PFT as a source in a silly debate. I totally agree. But THIS specific show which was talking about the Vikings had nothing to do with PFT. It was various NFL Insiders not named Florio

Then it would probably be important to note that Mike Florio isn't the only person in the sports world capable of making things up. Heck, it doesn't even have to be a "making things up" situation either...it could simply be that source hearing one thing, misinterpreting it, and running with it from there. A quick hypothetical of this sort of thing...

Vikes owner Zygi Wilf is talking to one of his front office flunkies in the team headquarters cafeteria, and brings up the topic of how much money Parcells got in his separation package from the Dolphins. Now, the flunkie is only half paying attention, because Zygi's a boring fucker and the cafeteria's jello fruit cocktail is particularly tasty that day, and after a few moments of jiggling tangerine daydreaming, he realizes he's blowing off the person who signs his insanely large paychecks, and says to Zygi "I'm sorry...who?" To which, Zygi says "Parcells...aren't you paying attention?"

Meanwhile, the dude behind the cafeteria counter who served up the jello adjusts his hairnet, slips into the back room with his cellphone and calls this guy at the local paper who occasionally throws him some coin for dirt on the Vikes and tells him "yeah, Zygi's talking about Parcells right now!"

And voilla! ...a rumor takes wing.
