| It took eight questions on the topic of Bill Parcells before Tony Sparano finally snapped.
The Dolphins coach didn't raise his voice Wednesday afternoon, but he was clearly irritated at the line of questioning regarding the franchise's football czar and his Tuesday announcement that he would slide into a "daily consultant" role.
Third-year general manager Jeff Ireland has assumed full control of the team's football operations.
"It's not important," Sparano said when quizzed on when he first heard of Parcells' plans. "We got a game against Buffalo this week, fellas. You guys want to talk about the game against Buffalo or not?"
All this was brought about by a three-sentence statement released the day before by the Dolphins. |

| NFL Power Poll: Packers' expectations soar, but Jets still No. 1 Green Bay is the smallest market in the NFL, but no team has created more buzz over the past month. Although last season's 7-1 finish has played a part, the attention is largely based on the unstoppable preseason performance of quarterback Aaron Rodgers and the offense. The players have accepted the high expectations without letting the hype get to them. "I don't see a problem with it," tight end Jermichael Finley said. |

| It took a few short months for Bills rookie running back C.J. Spiller to win the starting job and elevate expectations around town that Buffalo's anemic offense just might have a semblance of a spark. The one thing Spiller's careful of is to remind everyone that he can't do it alone. "It's going to take a team effort to get to where we want to go, and I'm just glad to be a... |

| A sheepish Chad Henne recalls attempting the sort of desperation pass a young college quarterback will try: Under pressure, on his heels, heaving a prayer to a tall teammate in the end zone. More than once, Braylon Edwards came down with the ball for a Michigan touchdown. "It would happen a couple of times," Henne says. |

| A look at the strengths, weaknesses, rehab issues and what to expect in the AFC East, as provided by SN's NFL correspondents: New York Jets The strength: With the return of All-Pro CB Darrelle Revis, the Jets have as good a cornerback tandem as any team in the NFL, and perhaps the best one. Opponents picked on Lito Sheppard last season, but it might not be so easy to repeatedly test Antonio Cromartie, whose skills are suited for man-to-man coverage. |
