Kansas City Chief Coach Vermeil consulting Dallas Cowboy Coach Parcells about practice routines?

PFT: VERMEIL READS OUR STUFF?

Most of our readers probably wouldn't believe the extent to which folks with real NFL jobs frequent this site. Falcons coach Jim Mora is a confessed PFT aficionado (when he's not tripping on ammonia), and we know of plenty of players and agents and front-office types who check us out every day.

Another name that we might be able to add to the list is Chiefs coach Dick Vermeil.

We've mentioned in several recent reports that players in Kansas City are griping about the duration and the intensity of Vermeil's practices. On Wednesday, we mentioned these concerns twice in connection with items regarding running back Priest Holmes.

Coincidentally, Vermeil called Cowboys coach Bill Parcells on Wednesday night and asked the Tuna about his practice habits.

How do we know this? Because the Tuna said so during his Thursday press conference.

"We talked a little bit about, 'What are you doing in practice right now? . . . . Have you cut back anything?'" Parcells said.

The questions weren't posed by Parcells to Vermeil, but vice-versa.

Interesting, to say the least.
