Does Bill Parcells have a beef with the New York Jets?

Those who watched the premiere of "The Two Bills" on Thursday night -- the ESPN documentary on the relationship between him and Bill Belichick -- may have come away with that impression. There's a scene in which both men, after sitting for a lengthy interview inside the New York Giants' locker room at MetLife Stadium, refuse the director's request to visit the Jets' locker room.

Belichick's angst is understandable, considering his acrimonious history with the Jets. But Parcells? That surprised some people, so I called him Friday morning for an explanation.
