Terrell Owens: Bill Parcells 'Like My Grandmother'

Terrell Owens compared Bill Parcells to his grandmother in an interview with the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, and when you see the whole context, it doesn't seem like he means Parcells is lovable and always bakes cookies:
"Coming into this season and this situation, I wanted to be positive," Owens told the Star-Telegram. "When I talked to him for the first time we left an impression on each other. I still think he is a great guy. But he is like my grandmother. You love the person, but they are stuck in their old-school ways. You can't move them from their way of thought."
Owens also said "Sometimes change is good," "I think it was needed" and "Hopefully, the owner will hire a coach to take the team to the next level." Overall, Owens doesn't give the impression that he enjoyed his experience working with Parcells. I think the feeling was mutual.
