I Guess Bum Phillips Wasn’t Available?



In an effort to reach out to the common man, Bill Parcells and the Miami Dolphins are apparently poised to hire a homeless man, Bill Muir, who I’m assuming lives in a dumpster behind the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ practice facility. Perhaps George Costanza's elementary school gym teacher, Mr. Heyman, was too busy giving wedgies with "Tropic of Cancer" under his arm?

Here’s a rare glimpse into the NFL’s interview process:

Parcells: Bill! How you doing, man? Been a long time!

Muir: mumblemumbleLindsayLohanmumblemumble …

Parcells: Hey, you’re over there in Tampa, right? Interesting in moving down here to Miami to coach?

Muir: grumblegrumbleThunderbirdgrumblegrumbleWildIrishRosegrumblegrumblegrumble …

Parcells: You’ll join our staff for a coupla bottles of Thunderbird and WildIrishRose?

Muir: mumblemumblelargecurd!

Parcells: And a thing of large-curd cottage cheese. Check.

Muir: Jefferson Starship on a farted wheat thin!

Parcells: Exactly. So we’ll see you at team headquarters on Monday?

Muir: Reporting for duty, Sister Hashbrownpants!

Parcells: OK, um, great. Have a good weekend?

Muir: Mashed potatoes!
