I wonder why, in my mind, I read all of Belicheats comments in a drunken Larry Merchant voice. He is right though.

Don’t know if your aware of it or not so I’ll remind you, it’s spelled Belichick

@ chazz

Pats have sold out since 1993–7 years BEFORE Brady was drafted.

And, now I will no longer take anything you say as true–even that you’re a Giants fan–because the Pats NEVER filmed a practice or a “walkthrough”. It was proven false. Get a clue.

Stealing hand signals? Every team steals hand signals. That’s not what they were punished for, moron. They weren’t even punished for filming the opponents’ sideline. They were punished for having a camera on the sideline after EVERY TEAM was told not to do it anymore. God, you have no clue as to what happened.

Patriots continue to dominate and haters continue to hate especially sj39 who still can’t come to grips that Mike Martz was totally outcoached in SB36 as the Rams choked by not adjusting their game plan when the Pats took Marshall Faulk completely out of the game.
————-
The way I remember it, as a Pats fan, was as much the Rams not getting Faulk the ball enough as it was the Pats having a great game plan.

I think if they got the ball to Faulk more, even on dump offs, they would have won that game. I was having a frickin’ heart attack every time he touched it (which, thankfully, wasn’t much.) Thanks Mike!

Okay haters, Belichick taped practices and was stealing handsignals. The haters would have nothing to say if they just beat down their opponenets instead of looking for a questionable edge.

to Jetsfaninjersey,
Classy comment. For what it’s worth though, remember that we’re still slightly bitter too about the way Parcels left and how that essentially ruined the 97 Superbowl. It will be interesting to see what the next chapter brings.

He’s right. We hear about 4-5 training camp fights every year & nothing ever comes of it.

Gee, you get 90 young males chosen for their size, speed, aggression, and athletic ability, and have them engage in a gladiator-type, me dominate u! kind of sport for only 45 jobs, and there might be some pushing and shoving and heated tempers?

Next thing you know you’ll be telling me that having 80,000 drunk people in a stadium cheering them on might lead to some kind of conflict in the stands or parking lot.

So let me get this straight, 2 average citizens get in a fight and throw punches at each other and were cited and booked into jail. BB is promoting this because the NFL players are exempt. Im all about the toughness of the NFL, but this is garbage. Goes to show if you pay the piper, your good to go…..

Solder vs Spikes?!?!?! You’ve got to admit, that is just awesome… I mean if it were two rookie free agents, hoping to make the practice squad, I would understand.

One must respect “Sir Bill” because this makes it clear that he motivates like no other….

Wasn’t Bilicheck the guy who supposedly paid his backup lineman money to start fights in camp?

as much as I despise Bill personally, I envy his coaching and the professional manner his teams employ. The man is a winner…Jets fans like myself will always be bitter as to the way that bill left us…its going to be a street fight this year..Pats, Bills, Jets in the east, in that order

If my team isn’t having training camp fights, I’m worried that they don’t give a deuce.

I think he is correct about the training camp fights but he also said he thought taping his opponents defensive signals was part of football and no big deal. He was lying about that one.

I heard this interview live. Its good to see Bill in such a good mood. It means he is liking what he sees out of this year’s team. He had the media laughing it up, too. A side of him you don’t see too often around game time.
Pats are gonna have a monster season…….Again.
Bring on the haters!

If the fights are an indication of the intensity and competitivness of trying to make the team, what else could you ask for.

I mean who wants the players showing up handing out flowers? LOL

This is contact sport, have at it!
