I would imagine a lot of work gets done at these meetings but I would bet most of the work is geared toward global NFL things and not individual team stuff but teams looking to make trades may use this time for that too. I would guess the Pats will plenty represented here including someone in the personell dept.
The only reason it's a story is because the Peppers deal was supposed to be worked out there. If that erroneous bit of news wasn't first reported this would be a non-story. I don't think Parcells has ever attended these meetings as coach or front office type.

I agree, is he the only coach not going?

No. There are many that don't go - However, Bill will be the only one singled out.

I'm sure he's just sick of the other teams trying to pry knowledge from him when they are supposed to be there focusing on ways to better the NFL. The NFL hasn't done BB any favors so I don't blame him.

Right, except for a few mitt-fulls of dough...

He earned that. I'm talking about whenever he finds a way to improve the team the NFL changes the rules.

It was only a year ago that BB appeared at the owner's meetings and essentially apologized for Spygate, so I'm quite content with having him be a no-show.

And when he went in years past the brew ha ha was always over his disrespectfully skipping out before the mediots breakfast with the coaches... That was how he and Tomase got off on the wrong foot. John, on his first ever assignment as a football mediot, was beside himself over Bill's unwillingness to glad hand in the lobby with all the other attendees and predicting doom because RAC was seen canoodling with Mangenius and Bill was obviously being snubbed by all the important (jealous) people. He seemed to want Kraft to do something about this anti social embarassment leading the team he was suddenly stuck covering...
