I was watching the Big Tuna, Big Bill Parcells, on MNF last night. He came up with a wonderful little pearl, or a pearcell as I like to call them. He said that, "Reggie Bush is like a satellite. He works best in space." Ah! What a gem of football wisdom and witicism!
It reminded me of the great quotes he would come up with when he was coaching in Dallas. I'd listen to the sound bytes from his press conferences and laugh. He came up with very entertaining topics such as making his knowledge of a players injury status to Sgt. Shultz from "Hogan's Heros"...."I know nothing."
So I want to ask the FanNation community, especially those of you who were in New York, New England, and Dallas if you can remember some of Big Bill's old addages. What are your favorites? I won't write any of them in this blog, since it would spoil the reader participation portion of this blog. Reminisce, Google, whatever it takes to come up with the best Parcells Pearls ....or better stated, the Pearcells of Wisdom. Fire away!

"I'm not a bus-station kind of guy, but there are a few players here I'm not sure want to be here. They've got a brook-trout kind of look."

"The only players I hurt with my words are the ones who have an inflated opinion of their ability. I can't worry about that."
"Sometimes when everybody's feeding you the cheese it's hard not to eat it."
"You can only really yell at the players you trust"
"All the backs in the history of this game are the same when there isn't any hole to run through"
"When you don't know that you don't know, it's a lot different than when you do know that you don't know"
"I like linebackers. I collect 'em. You can't have too many good ones."
"All you have to do is play better than the other guy and things go well. If you don't play better than the other players then somebody takes your place. Now a lot of guys, in this day and time with the transient nature of the sport, as soon as the competition gets too good, they want out."
" Every coach comes to a point and looks at a veteran player ... Where is he in this world? Where are we going to be six months from now? Where will we be one year from now? If the veteran player is definitely superior and gives you a better chance to win, that's when the real conflict comes. If you think a month from now or six weeks from now or eight weeks from now this young player is going to be better than the veteran, then you have to bite the bullet."
