TIDBIT: Coach Grinch? Bill Parcells is letting his Cowboys coaches and players have Christmas off, though it may not be as kind a gesture as it seems. By playing today and not playing again until the next Sunday, it's easy for Parcells to let everyone take off this Sunday. The NFL even designed its schedule that way, although TV viewership factored in heavily. How about making time for some holiday shopping? Well, let's just say Parcells didn't plan any team outings to the mall. "I don't have much concern about it," Parcells said. "I just run my normal schedule and let them work around that. I imagine their wives are doing most of their shopping."
Seeing is believing: Drew Bledsoe always heard about how important football is to Texans. Now that he's almost finished with his first season with the Dallas Cowboys, the quarterback can definitely tell the difference between life around here and his previous NFL stops in New England and Buffalo. "In Boston, and New England, when I got there, the Patriots were the fourth sports team. Even after winning three championships in four years, they're still second to the Red Sox," Bledsoe said. "Buffalo, it's a little smaller media market, so it's not as huge."
