The Dallas Cowboys would be a dream job for most coaches, with a young Pro Bowl quarterback like Tony Romo to work with and develop, a Pro Bowl tight end in Jason Witten and a defense with a lot of promise, not to mention only a score away from the first a playoff victory since 1996. Then you have the down sides like pressure to win from an owner that roams the sidelines constantly, a big mouth receiver with tons of talent, but is never happy and always critizing someone in Terrell Owens or TO as he has been called. Pro and cons, with these pros and cons most would take the job, but not the Big Tuna, he said he is done and is retiring from coaching.
With the Hall of Fame in the near future for Parcells, his career was pretty solid. In the four years with Dallas he only had a record of 34-32 and no playoff wins, but for a 65 year old man I would say he did a nice job of turning a losing franchise into a contender. Like he feels lack of accomplishment wearing two Super Bowl rings from his New York Giant days. Bill Parcells will be sorely missed in the NFL and is probably one of the last of a dying breed of coaches that are not afraid to open their mouth or take crap from any player, he was coach that demanded respect and got it. The NFL need more like him with state of the NFL and it's out of control players. Farewell Big Tuna!

Two of the best quarterbacks in the NFL are going to face off yet again in an AFC Championship game for the ages. This will be a battle of the best, with a lot at stake, not only will the winner go to the Super Bowl, but if the Colts manage to knock off Patriots it just might be a passing of the torch of AFC dominance.
It's no secret that the Tom Brady's Patriots are probably the best playoff team in NFL history, with Brady at quarterback the Patriots are an amazing 12-1 in the playoffs and Super Bowls. That is just a crazy stat and would scare any opposing team, especially the Colts who have had no success against New England in the playoffs, or the regular season, for that matter.
Will Peyton finally get the best of Belichick and Brady? It's definitely going to be an entertaining game and will pretty much be the Super Bowl, since whoever wins the NFC (Chicago or New Orleans) will probably be no match for the winner in the AFC, although, like I have said before, you never know in the NFL. I do believe it is Manning's time to shine though.
