What was up with the Bill Belichick shove?

GhettoDogAllStars · 01-10-2007, 11:00 AM

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

Just another shining example of how classless Belichick is, I mean he's a great coach, but he has nearly zero class. Even though Joe Gibbs and the boys had a horrible season, you can never say that he didn't handle it with class. Belichick should took a que from coaches like Gibbs and Tony Dungy on how to be a great coach yet still have class.

What else has he done for you to lable him as classless?

Read that article TAFKAS posted and see what you think. Also, he isn't very gracious in defeat either. I don't know if you had a chance to watch his post game press conference after they lost to Denver in the playoffs last year, but he came off as a total jerk. All that being said though, he is a brilliant football mind, and what he's done with the Patriots during the salary cap era, winning three superbowls, is nothing short of amazing. I think that the Patriots organization would be a great one for the Skins to model after.

I think there are more recent developments (none in favor Belichick's favor really) but I just don't have time to search for them right now.

firstdown · 01-10-2007, 04:59 PM

So we would rather have a well mannered, gracious, nice coach, etc... under 50% record or a guy who's kind of a jerk with three SB's and a winning record?

Cool, when you find them (have time) please feel free to post them here. We constantly argue about Belichek vs Gibbs.

We seem to have the best of both worlds, a winner and a gracious coach. Now I know he didn't do to so good this year, but he has years of success that heavily outweigh this one. Only three losing seasons in fifteen years is pretty good if you ask me. Like Belichick he has also won three superbowls and been to one more than him.
