Wow. I'd say that's exactly what makes him a first class jerk.

I think that is the point. Belicheck has a track record for being a surly arrogant jerk with the media, and frankly he can only blame himself for the ire that he draws from fans and media alike. He runs up the score unnecessarily to embarass opponents, he acts like it is a HUGE imposition to answer questions from the media, he scoffs at the suggestion that his cheating was even remotely responsible for any competitive advantage his teams got from it. The guy is a first class scum-bag, and his petulent child spoiled brat act at the end of the game only cemented his legacy.
If this was Joe G., Herm E., Tony D., Andy R., etc...guys with better reps with the media and fans, then he would probably get a pass. But he's got a shitty reputation, ala Barry Bonds. He made his bed...now he's got to deal with the backlash.
BTW, I would not be at all surprised to see the league "discover" new evidence re: Spygate and suspend his surly ass for 4 games next year. If nothing other than as a bone to throw to Congress to get off their backs.
