Classless Coach Belichick

The guy is paid to win games. Not to be friendly with the media, or be nice to camera men, or make all the fans happy. Let me ask you this. Would you rather have a coach who is an a-hole who wins? Or would you rather have a coach who is nice and is loved by the media but can't win? Personally, I would would rather have the a-hole who wins.

The Pats are a better team/organization than us. But we were also outcoached yesterday. By a mile. So perhaps some of the fans should worry about why we can't score points, rather than cry about why the other coach is a bad guy, or why they ran it up on us.

Your post just speaks volumes about you and the company you keep. No, if my friends were cheating on their wives I would NOT keep company with them. Acting like "getting a piece of ass" on the side is just commonplace and acceptable is a pretty sad state of affairs (no pun intended).

Anyone arguing that off-field actions have nothing to do with the game have their head in the sand. Character is inextricably linked to every facet of an individuals life, on the field and off. It's no surprise that a dishonest cheater in his personal life ends up being a dishonest cheater in his professional life.

What a sad commentary on our culture that winning a game is valued above all else, at the expense of integrity and character.

They are sending a message loud and clear, we're the best team in football cameras or no cameras.

But to your point, if they were playing dirty then I would have some issues with them, but they are just guilty of playing hard-nosed spirited football week in and week out.

But like I said before: there would have been no justification if brady had gotten injured because he was still in late in the 4th quarter even though it was a blow out. That, to me, makes it classless to keep him in there throwing on 4th down. If they put all their backups in and they continued to run on us at will I'd keep my mouth shut, but that wasn't the case until their last 2 possesions.

I live in Atlanta and even some Georgia fans were embarrassed by what Mark Richt did. Look, I am all for getting the team fired up and ready to play smash-mouth football. But there must be limits with sportsmanship always prevailing. Am I being contradictory in saying that the 'Skins should have "brought the house" on each and every play after the Pats were obviously running up the score and putting Brady on his ass? Maybe. But what the Pats did and Georgia did were two diametrically opposed situations. Georgia had just scored their own first TD. Florida had done nothing to warrant the entire Bulldog team to storm the field so early in the game. And finally, per my original post I never said anything about trying to deflect blame on our own team. The Redskins flat out stunk. There is plenty of blame to go around on our team. This thread was not started to discuss that issue, it is already being discussed on other threads.

Did Mark Richt cross the line? Probably. But so what? He was playing mind games with Fla. and it worked. I bet all the Georgia fans would be more pissed if they had lost.

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.

Carbo, just to get an outside perspective...why do you think Gibbs needs to go?

Excellent argument. The logic is just scintillating.

The company I keep?? All of these guys are very good people. They don't commit crimes and they are good fathers and outstanding citizens. They have just had some one night stands in Vegas. Is it right? No. Am I going to end friendships with people I have known for 15 years cause they had an affair? Hell no.

Dude, if they are cheating/have cheated on their wives, they are not good people, they're scumbags.. Good fathers and outstanding citizens don't cheat on someone they've pledged their lives to and risk it all for 39 seconds of pleasure.. If their character isn't solid enough to resist a one night stand in Vegas then it's time to take a long look in the mirror.. Sorry for the morality check.. Now back to football..

I think your post pretty much speaks for itself - not much else to say.

Good fathers don't have one night stands in Vegas and they are not what the majority of society would consider "very good people".

Please dude. Just stop. Your moral compass is obviously way the F off course.
