Did Parcells play favorites with LT?
Hell YES he did. Duh!!!
It was widely known and published that HOF D lineman Doug Atkins was one of the favorite players that George Halas ever coached and Halas could be a strict disciplinarian. This article below shows that coaches have treated their favorite players differently all the time.
O'Bradovich, who played opposite Atkins, once recalled the opening day of training camp when Atkins showed up 45 minutes late and circled the practice field wearing shorts, a T-shirt, and helmet with no chin strap or face mask. Halas ignored him.
