However, 1) I don't see how that can be anything other than conjecture and 2) if he felt the team (and he) needed a rest, then so be it.

It's not like we're talking about Sabby partying at 3am or anything.

Talking about it now, claims and "unnamed" source within the organization accidentally called him last night and they got to talking. The "source" told him he could take it to the air as long as his name was not involved.

The world is starting to frighten me. Apart from the Denny's strippers and other nimrods people dissect every thing a coach / politician does in such a level of stupidity its insane. Whats next? Haley took a shit at half time, scandal!!! Should have been talking to the team.

Yeah...would have to try to get one of those pesky franchise QBs....we might fail. So, let's not even try.

So, the moral of the story is - Parkins is as dumb as Fescoe.

I could honestly care less what he called it off to do instead.
Your team stinks. You shouldn't be cancelling meetings to do anything non-football related unless it's an emergency of some kind.

I'm NOT suggesting it happened. I have no clue whether it did or not.
I said as much. "Citing an unnamed source is easy to do."

Simmah, Mr. Micjones.

Honestly. They meet all the friggin' time. Maybe he decided to give them a break from a late day meeting. Maybe he had the runs. Maybe he had a family emergency. Maybe he and Pioli decided to talk on the QT about some personnel moves.

This place goes so overboard on speculation, it makes me want to be a winged radish sometimes.

Its really no big deal. If the team looked unprepared to play like they did against the Lions, Bills and Dolphins, i might be more concerned. But the team came out and played hard and won. Non story.

Those instances suggest there might be a culture problem as it relates to preparation. So I think it becomes a bigger issue than this one instance.
