The Score

By Ryan, October 17, 2006

Wow, there were quite a few “choice words” in the Dennis Green press conference last night. Here’s the scoreboards to break it down.

Cardinals-Bears game on October 16^th:
Time Bears Cardinals
7:00 in 3^rd Qtr 3 23
End of Game 24 23

Career total of profanities used in press conferences:
Date Dennis Green Bill Parcells
October 15^th 12 38
The Next Day 50 40

Yeah, I added two to Parcells’ total even though he didn’t have any press conferences in that time period, and I exaggerated Dennis Green’s use of explicit language. But when his press conference aired on WFAA this evening, they literally had to beep out approximately half of what he said. Obviously, this was not tolerated by the NFL, but how about the Arizona Cardinals organization? An assisstant coach is fired because of a bad second-half performance by Edgerin James and Kurt Warner, and yet they let a coach who publicly insults their moral standards keep his job?

Here’s a representative sample of the world for you, in the race for who controls business in the National Football League:
