"This is childish public relations work, telling the world that the potential loss of the best player on a lousy team is unworthy of further comment simply because the topic has become annoying. "
Right, and the press would love him to go on and on about it to make their jobs so much easier each day with new quotes that reveal nothing new about the subject. What a pack of vultures circling the roadkill.:pity:phinphever, alen1, DOLPHAN1 and 6 others like this. -
Sparano is not a coach skilled at PR or spin.Its a good thing he is part of a triumverate rather than being the face of the franchise.
The press is liable to misinterpret and expand on anything he says so give him credit for being cryptic.NJFINSFAN1 likes this. -

I need to be sports writer if they get paid for this ****. -
This is really nothing different than what most coaches say. How many times have you heard qutoes like "I'm only going to comment on the players in camp" or "he's not here, and when he is I will talk to him"? Quite frequently you get something along the lines of "his agent and the front office are working it out" meaning -I won't talk about it-.
I personally have no problem with his handling of the situation. JT is not there, it's not Tony's job to get him there, and he's going to concentrate on the players in camp that he can do something about. -

This is a clear story motivated only by a typical cocroach media rep lashing out because the coach isn't giving them any qoutes to mangle and fan the flames in this situation. -
I have no problem with Sparano and what he said, my problem here is with Parcells, as much respect as I have for him I think he really blew this one. Here's what I posted in another thread just now:

When you come to revamp a 1-15 team and you find your best player on a TV reality show and not showing up for minicamps, IMO, you have a bigger problem than that player. That guy has already quit on the team. You have to show the other 79 players on the roster that you are serious about winning, and you won't even take crap from your best player.
If I am the Fins, I think there are enough teams involved that you can "bluff" you way to getting a trade. Baltimore, Washington, GB, Cleveland, and even SD and Jax should provide us with some compensation and move on. -

And the South Fla media strikes out again...they are still bitter because they don't have any good stories or gossip to report...Sparano said what he said. He said what he knows the way he knows to do it. Sure, he's new at the PR end of being a HC in the league, but if he minced words or make it sound 'nicer', that wouldn't be him...so why do it...JT has told them that he won't be in the OTAs or minicamps and may not be in TC...fine, that's what Tony reported...he wasn't vindictive or nasty, just matter of factly...I can deal with that...the question is...can JT ??

So, get a grip JT...retire or play ball here because that is just about your best options.. -
If Parecells didn't want Sparano to leak any info about JT then he wouldn't have said anything. He said just what Parcells told him. Parcells or Ireland got word from JT or his agent he wans't gonna report to TC and Parcells told Sparano to mention it in his press confrence. It is simple as that. It was a directive from up on high. If JT had guts he would have said it him self. The media is so used to bashing the team managment that they can't even see when they do somthing right. This was the right thing to do. Got it all in the open.
