Parcells Signs with Dolphins
Please, no. No, no, no. Apparently, having screwed over the good people of the state of Georgia, Bill Parcells is close to a four-year deal to become Head of Football Operations for the Miami Dolphins. You know what this means, right? Four years of annoying Belichick-Parcells storylines, with a side order of Mangini-Parcells storylines. Please, allow me to bang my head repeatedly into a table and then slowly slit my wrists with a dull butter knife. This is going to be agony. Marv Levy, I beg you, please bring some sanity to this ridiculous division.

Parcells to Falcons: Drop Dead
Oh, come on, Tuna. You did this to Tampa Bay back in 1992, now you've bagged out on Atlanta at the last minute... who's next, Carolina or New Orleans?

Pro Bowl Rosters Announced
Here ya go... let the debate begin. Remember how I said that you couldn't have both Fred Taylor and Jamal Lewis? Turns out you can't have either one. Willie Parker is the third AFC running back. Antonio Cromartie couldn't break the starting lineup in San Diego until Week 10, but he's making the Pro Bowl. Good lineup construction there, Norvinator. Also, the NFC team contains 143 members of the Dallas Cowboys, including the equipment guy and the chick who sells beer on the loge level of the stadium.

Week 15 DVOA Ratings
The Patriots join the long history of great teams whose DVOA rating dropped after Week 15. The Steelers and Jaguars are going in opposite directions. And seriously, why is Cincinnati's DVOA so darn high this year?

ESPN: Vikings' Run Dominance Might Not Be Enough
This week's ESPN MNF article discusses the myth that run-oriented teams succeed in the postseason, particularly where it concerns this year's Minnesota Vikings -- one of the most unbalanced teams in NFL history, with offense and defense far superior on running plays as opposed to passing plays.

Florida All-Century High School Football Team
This is pretty cool. It's always fun learning new things about your favorite players, and where else would you have Pat Summerall and Tim Tebow on the same team? Did you know that Warren Sapp was a linebacker and punter in high school? Ray Lewis had six kick and punt returns for touchdowns? It's also interesting to learn about the older guys, who didn't all make it into the NFL, guys like Willie Gallimore, "the best Florida high school running back until Emmitt Smith." And apparently, Rick Casares was named one of five high school players who could have gone directly to the NFL.
