Bill Parcells is the Most Over Rated HC of All Time!

 

Ever smelled old tuna?

 



This will be a rather short post, more of a rant really. I know many Giants fans worship Bill Parcells, but I'm going on record, saying that he is the most OVERRATED head coach of all time. Sure, he deserves a place in the Hall of Fame for his time with the Giants, but that's about it. Hear me out, please.

 

Parcells won 2 Super Bowls with the Giants in the 80's. He also took the Patriots to the Super Bowl, only to be beaten soundly by the Packers. But, ever since, there have been people who swear that he's one of the greatest of all time. I beg to differ. He isn't even the greatest Giants coach of all time. That honor should go to Tom Coughlin.

 

So, why am I dissing the Tuna? Well, after he left the Giants, he decided to take on the AFC East, coaching the Patriots, Jets, and being a GM for the Dolphins. He also coached the Cowboys for a while, all on the scraps of what was left of his NY Giants coaching staff. He did take the Patriots to the Super Bowl, and the Jets to the AFC Championship. But, with each of his new jobs, his available staff of 'Parcells Guys' was getting thinner and thinner. And, it wasn't just coaches. It was players too. After the Patriots ditched Drew Bledsoe for Tom Brady, he brought Bledsoe to Dallas, only for him to lose his starting job to Tony Romo. In Miami, rather than bring in some fresh talent, he brought in his offensive line coach from Dallas as the head coach, Tony Sparano. And, when Chad Pennington got released from the Jets, guess who he called to be Miami's QB? And, he got hurt.

 

Meanwhile, the only head coach to come from Parcell's camp to ever come close to Parcell's accomplishments was none other than the GOAT, Bill Belichick. And, no it wasn't due to what he learned under Parcells. It was because of what Belichick had in his brain. There's no comparison to the coaching style between the two. Belichick would cut Tom Brady if he felt it necessary. Parcells would reassemble his Super Bowl teams if it was possible. Remember when I said that Coughlin is the best Giant's coach? Its because he won 2 Super Bowls against the Patriots, the GOAT team, with the GOAT coach, and the GOAT quarterback.

 

I didn't know this, but in doing some research, I learned that Parcells is in the front office of the Cleveland Browns currently. That explains a lot.

 

All that needs to be said of 'Parcells Guys' is simply this: Look at last year's Super Bowl. The Falcons blew their 28-3 lead, and lost to (Bill Belichick's) New England Patriots. The Falcons only blitzed Tom Brady FIVE TIMES in the second half, and when it came down to the last play of regulation, the Falcon's defense had to stop the EASIEST play in football. A 2 point conversion. They stop that, and the game doesn't go to overtime, and the Falcons hold on to win. But, they didn't, and the rest is history. So, I rest my case. Bill Parcells is the most overrated head coach of all time. What does Atlanta's performance in the Super Bowl have to do with anything? The Falcons defensive coordinator is none other than Romeo Crenell, a "Parcells guy."

 

Mic drop.

 

 

 



TV Show Review: Dark Matter

Sci Fi TV is about the only intelligent TV on the air these days that isn't based on History or Science. The rest is mindless dribble that claims 259 brain cells for each episode watched. That, and sports. There simply isn't anything original or good anymore...Unless its Sci Fi. Personally, I'd rather watch Star Trek reruns than a new episode of Two and a Half Men, or any other sitcom. There are several sci fi shows that are running right now that are excellent, such as Falling Skies, The Last Ship, Under the Dome, and a couple others. They are all very good, but the one I'm discussing is Dark Matter, on the Sy Fy Network. Don't worry, there are NO SPOILERS!

Dark Matter

Friday Nights, 10PM Eastern on Sy Fy

_________________________________________________

It is set in the distant future, and humans have gone into space, and achieved faster than light travel. But, space isn't the peaceful utopia portrayed in Star Trek: The Next Generation. It is every man for himself, and there is a very vast and brutal corporation that is controlling everything.

The premise is that six people awaken on a ship, with amnesia. They don't know their names, history, or anything. They are obviously all suspicious of each other, but they decide to calm down and try to figure out what happened. They decide to name themselves as the number of the order they awoke in. 1 is a mild mannered buy whiny guy, 2, a sexy woman who takes control as captain, 3, a hot headed man who isn't very smart, 4, an Oriental man who is very quiet, but quickly realizes he has ninja abilities with fighting and weapons 5, a timid girl who doesn't seem to fit in with the rest, 6, a big bad black man. There is also a female android who keeps the ship together. She has no memory of these people either.

4, 6, 3, 2, 1, 5, and The Android

The ship 'The Raza'

The show chronicles what happens as they try to figure out who they are, and what they were doing on the ship, all while evading capture from the Corporation, and others who they may have had dealings with. Each episode gives another piece of the puzzle, and while it can be a bit confusing, it usually makes sense at the end of the episode. They grow as a crew, and a family, and their bond is more apparent with each episode. And, since the first thing they find out about each other is definitely not a good thing, they are going to have to stick together in order to have a chance to survive.

The Android...
I like her, but I hope 
they change her hair.

This show is very special. It is probably the best sci fi show running right now because A, it takes place in space. B, it has the elements of classic sci fi shows like Star Trek, with the attitude of Firefly. And, it isn't rehash either. This series premise is unique, and because of the fact that they have amnesia, there is no limit to the possibilities that the show could explore.

I mentioned that 3 was a hot head who wasn't very bright. You might be thinking of Jayne from Firefly. There are similarities, but they are completely different. In one of the episodes, 3 will surprise you. Big time. In fact, all these characters will grow on you to the point that you care about each and every one of them. Even The Android. And that is the mark of a good show.

5 and 6...They form a very sweet, 
almost father/daughter relationship

On a scale of 1-10, I am going to give this one a solid 8. That may rise as the show goes on, but season one so far has been incredible. Why not a 9 or 10? Because there is always room for improvement, and I would hope that the show's coming seasons are even better than the first one. A word to Sy Fy...DO NOT CANCEL THIS SHOW. I am SO tired of getting into a show only to have it get cancelled. Happened with Farscape, Firefly, the new V series, and so many others. My heart can't take another cancellation of a good series. And as always, I have an original sci fi series that needs to be seen. Hit me up, Sy Fy!

Anyway, watch this show. Its great, and has the potential to go down as one of the all time greats. It has great characters, great story writing, great character development, great special effects, great everything. Literally, everything a science fiction purist would want.

And, watch for cameos from other Sci Fi series actors! There are several just in season 1.
