European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - January 24, 1987, Darmstadt, Hesse                                To be a head coach inthe nil now you re not a coach. You re a drug Counselor you re a Media Guy. I m an x s and o s Guy defensive coordinator Joe Collier i Don t want to talk to anybody now Billy Ard moors Sua Bajjo Annadel Pasadena Calif. A John Madden who coached the super Bow Champion Oakland raiders 10 years ago says it does t take any ability to second guess coaches during games he work. So he first guesses. I try to say it before they make the decision Madden said Al a lbs news conference. As an example he filed an incident in the pfc championship game Between the new York giant Sand Washington redskins on Jan. 11, Midway through the first Quarter with the giants leading 3-d and new York at the Washington 26-Yard line quarterback Phil Simms threw an Incompletepassonthird-and-10. The giants were guilty of holding. Madden said he thought the redskins would be belter off declining the Penally but they accepted in making in third-and-20. Simms then threw a Long pass to Lionel Manuel for a first Down followed shortly by another pass to Man Uel for a  could have been 6-0 and instead it was 10-0," Madden said. It s easy to say something after the play the Long Simms to Manuel Pas that it was a poor decision to take the penalty. Of course it was after they get he first Down. And the dumbest thing you can say after a quarterback throws an interception is he wants the Ballback. Of course he  lbs will be televising sunday s super bowl with Madden working color alongside play by play Man Pat Summerall. Madden declined making a prediction. I Ihrk the greatest thing about the nil is in people who Are picking Aren l right he said. I Don t know what s going to happen. I think the most underrated thing in Iii whole thing is the Denver Broncos. I think it s going to be a real defensive  Madden called his experience of 10 years ago coaching a super bowl Champion my  Bob stunner who will produce he lbs telecast said the network won t treat the super Bow differently than it does other games but there will be major differences. For one thing the pregame show will last two hours with remotes from Italy a Gold mine in Colorado and the Coffee shop in new Jersey where coach Bill parcels of the giants stops every morning. For another 4 cameras will be used rather than the Normal eight. Well have he pictures available whether it s great game or a Blowout director Sandy Grossman said. By Frank Litsky Pasadena. Calif. Not if there s a to personality on the new York giants it s the Navy Man Phil Mcconkey. Coach Bill parcels ranks Mcconkey As the Best on his team. Mcconkey has accepted the Honor in the spirit in which in was , the coach is not saying his wide receiver and Puni returner is his Best player or Roost talented or most valuable. He is saying Mcconkey has passed Jim Bun and Leonard Marshall As the no t self promoter on the team with Sean Landeta always in the top Lye. On  team such talk might be tinged with hostility and bitterness. On the giants 14-2 during the regular season and 2-0 in the playoffs it is Parton the kidding often found on winning teams with an easy coach player relationship. Parcels says Mcconkey reached the top by his ability to stir giants stadium crowds during the playoffs. Mcconkey raced along the sideline waving to the fans inv poring them Tochner for their team. They did. Mcconky laughs about his promotion to no. 1. Bill s got something for everybody Mcconkey said categories for All kinds of Guys. My stuff with the crowd is just something that evolved because of my personality. If 1 was to be anything different i d be  s just the Way i am. 1 would t try to change it. I would t try to change myself ii does t last very Long either to a very emotional person Mcconkey said. It carries Over on Jim Field i think the fans respond to thai. People like to have fun that s Why they pay hard earned Money 10 see a game. Thai s entertain ment and enthusiasm is entertainment. When the crowd responds that provides a Boon to the team. That s Why they Call it the Home Field  Mcconkey s enthusiasm also comes from being an underdog. Al s-Fect-10 and 170 pounds or less lie is a lightweight a a heavyweight s sport. After Bis graduation from the naval Academy his pro football career was delayed five years while he served As a a by helicopter Pilot. This is his third season with the giants and he almost did not make in. The giants waived him in the final preseason Rosier Cut. The Green Bay packers claimed him and then mostly ignored him. After the fourth game of the season when the giants Best wide receiver Lionel Manuel suffered an injured knee and their punt returner Mark Collins suffered a concussion the giants traded a draft Choice to the packers and Gol Mcconkey Back. He thought they should not have waived him in the firs place. Being a competitor and an athlete he said you always think you can do the Job so you think they made a mistake when they let you go. I knew i could contribute. But i had no anger How could i be angry or bitter about a Man or organization that a couple of years before gave a Chance to a 27-year-old Guy who had played football in live Yean if 1 never Puyod another Down after ibis year 1 would beg awful Page Hlll super bowl 67 saturday.
