Bill Belichick is a Jerk

[Paul]

So where did that little punk learn all that?

 

[Paul]

Because even the world's biggest winners have been losers sometimes.

Awwww... thanks, Jim!

 

[JimG.]

Exactly my point.

Awwww... thanks, Jim!

IMO big difference between the pics and the vid of Belichick snub (?) handshake. His rip move on the cameraman is another story. But if you see beyond this, he does more on charity events, all of his proceeds from his book went to one.

Using these guys as role models is a big mistake. I rather have my kid look else where. When we have our 4th of July parade, I don't stand up cheer for the local politicians, only time I do stand up and cheer is when the local vets parade in their dress uniform, she has seen me do it all her life.

Yup ,there is a difference, the pics were a tongue-in-cheek reference to Jim's slightly rhetorical question, pretty much mutually exclusive from the Bellichick thing.

Parents are role models, and should be all the role model a kid needs. Unfortunately, not all parents are good parents, and it would be nice if kids had others to look-up to. (yeah, I know, there are still teachers, friends, relatives etc... )

I cheer for the vets, too.

They learn it from what you are typing on right now , and what you are going to watch when you get home.. Hey Jim how old was this kid that was flipping parents the bird and elbowing people?

It's not by choice which only makes what they do all the more irritating. TV bombards everyone with images of these guys.

Belichick is probably an egomaniac and a little unusual, he's definitely a lot brighter than the average bulb, and he's certainly viewed as at the top of his profession, so it's kinda hard to imagine he snubbed Peyton Manning without some reason. Maybe there's bad blood between them - who knows? A momentary lapse by the genius - it proves he's human after all......

Any of you complainers (i.e., non-Patriots fans) would take him as your head coach in a heartbeat.

Of course you would be nuts not too based on his track record, but then again it helps alot when u have Brady back there

Keep him...I'll bet he's not a great soccer coach.

David's coach is head coach at Marist, an NCAA division 1 school.









Just pulling your leg Chile.

The guy is old school, he spent extra time to talk Dungy, a peer. I think he treat sor relates to players differently. Also of interest is how he will handle LT and the rest of the SD squad in the pro bowl.

Well if hes as smart as people think he will run LT about 35times and hope he gets hurt. Lets be honest though the Pats did the Dirty work here, there was no way Indy was going down to SD and winning that game, at least i dont think so.

I don't get it...could have, looked like he might have, could have quickly, not his job.

Part of sports is sportmanship. Don't you guys believe in that?

Ever heard of innocent until proven guilty?

 

[jack97]

Ever heard of innocent until proven guilty?

Excellent point. I have no problem and need no explanation to my child on the snubbed(?) handshake to Peyton. The rip move on the camera man is another story, thats just wrong and I would say that if she saw that, no excuse. BTW he did apologize for that but its still wrong.

 

[JimG.]

Ever heard of innocent until proven guilty?

But you've just proved my point...why should my children or I have to guess or presume innocence? This should be a simple thing...game over, opponent extends hand, shake it.

Look, this isn't really just about Belichick from my POV and I apologize to any Pats fans who feel that way...I was rooting for the Pats. This is about modern pro sports in general.

What Belichick did was assinine and he looked like a poor sport...it presented a bad image to my kids and I don't like it. Whether that was intentional or not is not my concern, but it should be his.

Replay showed media guy was in the way on the intital attempt, on the second try, they definitely nodded to each other and were close to either patted each other or do a quick shake. Can't tell for sure.

The main point I take from SRO is that media places alot of "spin" on stuff that is not conclusive. IMO, equally damaging effect on kids.

Excellent point, I actually hadn't noticed at all live, wasn't until the morans at ESPN replayed it extensively that I noticed.

Hell, my kid was long since in beddy-bye when it happened. Damn pandering to Californians...
