Mick Shots - Sept. 4
Now books are books, and while you want them to be factual, you also want them to be readable, too. In Tom Callahan’s latest, The GM: The Inside Story of a Dream Job and the Nightmares That Go With It – a recounting of the 2006 New York Giants season with the help of their retiring GM Ernie Accorsi – former Cowboys head coach Bill Parcells is said to have sat in a car in the parking lot of Giants Stadium some six hours before the teams met on Dec. 3 with a “former Giants colleague” and told that unnamed person “I’m available to be the Giants’ GM if they get stuck. Keep me alive with John Mara, will you?” If you remember, Parcells, when reported in New York he was interested in the job, claimed here during a press conference, “Whoever said it is a liar.” Well, Callahan writes Parcells denial was met with “hilarity” in the Giants front office. Hmmmm.
Former Cowboys fullback Lousaka Polite, released on the final cut and cleared waivers, was brought in by the Chicago Bears for a workout on Monday. Wonder if the Bears are considering signing him to pick his brain on the Cowboys’ new offense? Also clearing waivers was second-year safety Abram Elam.
rSee where Randy Moss, after missing all four preseason games with a hamstring strain and practically all of training camp, returned to practice on Monday with little national fanfare. Could you imagine what would have taken place had that been Terrell Owens? ESPN would have taken up permanent residence in San Antonio and then The Ranch. That’s what happens when ESPN’s viewers and readers in a poll name the Dallas Cowboys the most popular team in sports.
