Bill Belichick Did Not Invent Football

Thanks to my bro-in-law for forwarding this article to me as I asked my sister yesterday for any local articles pertaining to it. Watch the link on YouTube mentioned in the article. I saw this happen live and was disgusted that the announcers really didn't say much about it. I mean, wtf? After he shoved the camera at the first guy and hugged Mangini - watch how he departs. The cameras stopped rolling but he looked like he was going to clear a path the same way he got to Mangini. I respect the guy as a coach and if you play him in the Super Bowl you will probably lose because with 2 weeks to prepare he is almost unbeatable - but I get so sick of his superior attitude towards the press. Like this article states - without the press - there wouldn't be anyone to sing his "praises" - and yes, I used a religious word on purpose since the man thinks he's godlike. Here is the most telling thing about Bill Belichick and don't ever let his fans forget it - in Cleveland as a head coach he was 36-44 which included a 5-11 final season. The things that make him good now are an owner that cares about winning and a Hall Of Fame quarterback. I don't care how good a coach is, without the right players at key positions - they've got nothing. When Brady is no longer a Patriot, we'll see how well Bill does - and I hope the media gets so far up his ass that they come out his mouth. Thing is, he'll probably retire so he doesn't have to rebuild. I'd like to mail him $40 so he can buy a decent shirt. A sweatshirt is bad enough but to cut the sleeves off? This is clearly a man who likes to thumb his nose at everyone. I hope he and Peter King will be happy together after they marry.

WOW!

In all fairness to Mr Belichick, It should be on record that he did call Jim Davis and apologize for his actions!

BostonHerald.com - New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick called a Boston Globe photographer Jim Davis at home yesterday to personally apologize for manhandling him Sunday on his way to give Jets coach Eric Mangini a man hug.

“I do feel bad about that,” he said. “I really didn’t mean to hit him up high there. I was trying to just push him out of the way and get to Eric. It wasn’t . . .it certainly wasn’t called for, so I . . .I wish that hadn’t happened.”

OK. So is Belichick wearing the Duce Staley wardrobe or is Duce wearing the Belichick wardrombe.

Think about some of these:

Landry without Staubach?
Noll without Bradshaw?
Johnson without Aikman?
Lombardi without Starr?

and then of course there's Parcells without Jeff Hostetler!

But really the only guy I can think of who was real successful without a great QB was Joe Gibbs.
