Classless Coach Belichick

I'm so glad you have high standards.

More holier-than-thou BS.

I didn't see any personal fouls or unsportsmenlike conduct penalty's on NE yesterday. I didn't see any of their DB's hitting our sorry ass Wr's late. I didn't see any of their D-linemen hitting JC late. I saw no dirty play from NE what so ever. I just saw a straight up beat down and we couldn't do anything about it.


No, I meant in the context of the team everybody loves to hate. How they play by their own rules, so to speak. Not implying that they are dirty by any means, just how they've drawn the line in the sand with the Commish.

I think some people here need to consider changing their avatar if they've got such a crush on Bill B and the Boys...

Here's Michael Wilbon of the Washington Post on the Pats:

"Belichick is on a maniacal mission to crush everybody's skull because the NFL had nerve to call him on cheating. That's what this is. He's foaming at the mouth like a rabid dog trying to crush the life out of every team the Patriots face. You know what...that's fair. But I'd like to see an opposing team play the Patriots with the same violent intent the Patriots play with. I think you'll see the school yard bully met with force this Sunday in Indy..."

and

"if I was on the opposing team, I'd hit Tom Brady with everything I had as late as I could and take the penalty and join the fight that would surely follow. Football is a violent game and there's got to be somebody out there sharpening his fans for the Patriots Golden Boy in the 4th quarter one of these weeks."

I agree 100% Belichick has every right to run up the score . . . and opposing teams have every right to make him and his players pay for it.

The Pats have become like the seventies Raiders. They should get the same back. How do you think John Madden or Lyle Alzado would have reacted if someone had tried to run up the score on them!?!?

Maybe it's just me, but I don't know how much of a grown man someone is who cheats like it's no big deal. I don't know you're friends skinsfan69 and I don't doubt that they mean a lot to you. And this isn't an affront on you. But if you're going to be a "man" and take on the responsibility of a wive and kids. Then act like a real man, and have some respect for the people you love. If you can't do that, be man enough to do like skinsfan69 is doing and don't get married.

Reminds me of the brilliant Chris Rock skit. "I take care of my kids...I've never been to jail" "What do you want, a cookie? You low-expectation having mofo"

(man I've really gone off on a tangent on this thread)

Here's more from Wilbon. Way to go, Michael!!!

Arlington, Va.: Let me get this straight - you're suggesting blatantly trying to injure a player on the opposing team for no good reason other than you can't compete head-to-head. What kind of message are you trying to send?

Michael Wilbon: I'm saying football is a violent game and I believe in an eye for an eye. You think Sam Huff wouldn't have taken out Brady yesterday? And when I say "take out" I don't mean go for his knees; I mean a clean shot with every once of force one can summon...right in the strike zone. You think Butkus and LT and Bednarik would have stood for that stuff? No way. No chance.

Nobody has a crush on that fat sack of poop. I just respect great football and great coaching and they have both.

I'm not advocating playing dirty or giving out cheap shots... but if I were a coach and the other team was running it up, I would look the other way and tell my guys to do what they gotta do. And if I was a player in that situation I would have no problem sticking Brady right in the chest and pile driving him to the turf, late or not.

Be honest with yourself -- if Belicheck were in Washington with the personnel he has in New England, doing in Washington what he's doing in New England, you'd be dancing in the streets. ... But I don't think anything will happen there until your owner, who is reliving his childhood, finally says goodbye to Coach Gibbs, just as Jones said goodbye to Landry. ... The fan base, understandably, has great affection for Gibbs, but in the end it's just nostalgia. ... What happened in Foxborough yesterday, in terms of how the Patriots played, is what happens in the modern NFL. ... Wake up and deal with.


To think that happens every week in the NFL is ridiculous. I dont see teams running up the score like that. If they are, its because the other team can not stop the running game, or the QB is throwing pick 6's every time. The NFL coaching fraternaty has more class that was Belichek showed yesterday. Had Sean Taylor or someone come in and gave Brady a concussion i think you would feel totally different about him being in the game with under 10 minutes to go up 45-0. I dont care how any of you NE fans put it, or how to try and twist it, it was a classless move by a classless coach. Too bad our staff has class and didn't order our players to take shots at brady,moss or any other of your starters. This will come back and haunt them eventually. They will run up to a team with players or coaches that will take shots at brady and company, then lets see how you feel about your coach subjecting your players to needless hits or late hits.

And my question is, why didn't any of the Skins take it on themselves to do that yesterday? Sam Huff would have. Dexter Manley and Wilbur Marshall would have.

What's different with this team? - tho I bet Sean Taylor would have rocked Brady or Moss if given the nod.
