The Belichick-Parcells Rivalry
Bill Parcells and Bill Belichick Through the Years

The New York Jets and New England Patriots play the first of their two rivalry games on Oct. 16, reminding everyone of the relationship between Bill Parcells and Bill Belichick and the bitter betrayal that still fuels the rivalry. Here are some photos of the duo.

SI has an excerpt from the new book PARCELLS: A FOOTBALL LIFE by Bill Parcells and Nunyo Demasio that details all the events surrounding Bill Belichick's 1999 decision to resign as head coach of the Jets to take over the Patriots. It's a really good read and didn't exactly paint Charlie Weis in the most positive of lights. Almost as interesting is this story in today's Daily News about how Tom Brady was nearly drafted by the Jets 20 picks before the Patriots nabbed him in the 2000 Draft. The teams face off tonight and don't be surprised if Darrelle Revis plays a few snaps at wide receiver.

NFL's Biggest Camera Hogs
The Wall Street Journal watched two full games from the 2014 season for all 32 NFL teams to see how many times the broadcast cut to the head coach or starting quarterback. Jim Harbaugh, Bill Belichick and Chip Kelly were the top three among coaches while Peyton Manning, Tom Brady and Teddy Bridgewater were the leaders among QBs. And coming in last place were poor Mike McCarthy and Mike Glennon.

Fans and Their Sports Tattoos
Fans have a tendency to get carried away when getting sports-related ink applied to their bodies, which is why we came up with this informative list of five things NOT to do when getting a sports tattoo. I'm adding a sixth: Never get Charlie Villanueva inked on your body under any circumstance. While we're on the topic, here's an enormous gallery of fans and their sports tattoos.
