Parcells: Mum's the word on T.O.

Parcells: Mum's the word on T.O.

At least for now, Bill Parcells is through answering questions about Terrell Owens.
The popular subject wasn't even raised until halfway through Thursday's news conference, but it's obvious that Parcells has had enough.

"I have no comment on Terrell," he said.
Asked why, Parcells said, "Because I don't want to talk about him anymore ... I'm tired of it."

When one reporter who wears UT apparel on a daily basis pressed the issue, Parcells stared at him for a few seconds and then turned to public relations chief Rich Dalrymple for backup.

Owens only speaks on Wednesdays, so there weren't as many cameras at Valley Ranch. Even "Easy" Ed Werder was given the day off after complaining that the T.O. story was derailing all the work he'd done on his one-piece takeaway.

In unrelated news, the Ryan Hannam era may have come to an end in Dallas today. Hannam was placed on injured reserve because of what Parcells called a "degenerative" knee injury.

Hannam, who came over from Seattle during free agency, had struggled with the knee throughout training camp and had only been active for two of the first four games.

Back with more in a moment.
