Bill Parcells broke his silence on Thursday afternoon with a 30-minute conversation with Mike and the Mad Dog, a popular New York-based sports talk radio program. "I tried to make it work as best I could," said Parcells, who did not have a retirement news conference. "It wasn't without a few little things here and there. It was nothing I felt was insurmountable or we never had to draw a line in the sand.... Now, it wasn't perfect. And it wasn't as problematic as it was portrayed." Parcells is very good friends with co-host Mike Francesa.
