The South Florida soap opera is getting good.

Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald (via Sports By Brooks) reports that Dolphins defensive end Jason Taylor recently was visiting with teammates at the facility, where they have been working out in preparation for the 2008 season without Taylor, who is participating in ABC’s Dancing with the Stars.

Taylor thereafter decided to drop in on V.P. of football operations Bill Parcells.  Writes Salguero:  “Taylor walked into a room where Parcells was watching tape, and Parcells ignored him.  He looked at Taylor and went back to his work without saying a word.”

Ouch.

Taylor was reportedly “incensed” by the gesture.  But probably not nearly as incensed as Parcells was when he learned that Taylor was trying to revise Parcells’ signature “This is why you lift all those weights” line into something more like, “This is why you do all those splits.”

Without question, Parcells hates the fact that Taylor isn’t working out with the team.  The fact that Taylor’s distraction is a freaking dancing contest surely makes it even worse for the old-school Parcells.

To date, this saga has been publicly tame.  It soon will be getting ugly, we think.
