2. With 20 seconds to go in a 28 point game with 3 serious injuries in the last quarter of play, Parcells refuses to take a knee. Dropping Bledsoe back to go for a useless TD, risking Bledsoe getting hurt as Williams answered with several blitzes.
3. Nothing new here - refusing to even gesture to Gibbs after the game.

#1 is classic Parcells. He's insulted players for years, and it's part of his "charm". He is given a lot of credit for his media savvy, but I honestly think he just likes to piss people off, and he gets a pass because of winning Super Bowls in New York.
#2 is just plain stupid of the coach. Though Rivera's injury could've happened anytime, it happened in the last minutes of an embarassing loss. Did Parcells think that by trying for that one last score, he was saving face? I think he's being universally panned for it - and that includes in Dallas.
#3 didn't really happen. The coaches did shake hands briefly, but there wasn't much to say. They faed each other more than twenty times. I think by this point the pleasantries have been exchanged.
All in all, yes Parcells looked like a prick. But I could've told you that before the game.
