What was up with the Bill Belichick shove?

Whats the big deal? He was trying to finish up the game by going out and shaking hands with the other coach and the media would not allow him to get to the other coach. The field is for the players not the media and they where in the way so in the heat of the moment he pushed aside one in the media. Its not like he pushed him down or tried to hurt him. He just wanted to shake hands and be done with it and the media was in the way.

There was just no reason for him to grab the guy and shove him out of the way like that. You would have thought Mangini was his long lost lover the way he fought to get to him. Pretty ridiculous.

Maybe you're on to something Matty.

Really though, it may have been a tad bit excessive, but still not news worthy.

Did he really need to grab the guy and shove him aside like that though??

A little uncalled for don't you think?

After a game the field is open for the media.

It's news worthy enough to be on the main headlines of the ESPN NFL page.

Well, every time I turn on my tv, I have Joan and Melissa braying about some meaningless swill. I would not consider that especially news worthy. After viewing the.....assault..........it looked pretty weak to me???? I guess we have to wait for the suit to be filed to get all the details. The again, maybe I will hear it all from Joan?

ESPN said that the reporter tried to downplay the incident. You have to know Belichick doesn't care, and the reporter doesn't care -- so who does? It seems like somebody is making a story out of nothing.

Maybe something should be made of it. Why is it ok to shove someone? I think if it was me and I was just doing my job, I would have turned around and tried to trip him on the way back.
What makes Belichick and the Patriots so damn special that they can do whatever they want with no repercussions?

If someone shoved me out of the way like that they better have a damn good reason, and it better not be because they were trying to hug their ex-ball boy

Belichick is lucky the guy didn't file an assault charge on him -- he could have hit a small lottery with Bill's money.

I think we as a society have become WAY to sensitive. We look for things to offend us, insult us, faux disrespect us. Then we throw down with atty's if there might be some loot involved to help sooth our wounds.
Dude pushes me like that:
Q. "Hey Bill, WTF"
A. sorry chief,
..............no worries, end of story
