Belichick walking off with time on the clock

[NYCSkin]

At least he congratulated Coughlin. But I think overall Belichick is a sore loser. His interview with Chris Myers after the game was painful to watch. Though I must say I took some glee in it since here's a coach that hates answering to the media and was forced to do that traditional "losing coach" interview...

Though, in fairness, he sounds the same way when they win.

While I do not think BB ALWAYS acts in the best of taste in a given situation (and yesterday is no exception). I TOTALLY applaud his disregard for the "rules" and doing what HE thinks is acceptable. He obviously spends little time stressing about PC or what somebody else might think of his actions. For the most part, I respect that!

You really respect the idea that he thinks rules don't apply to him??

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.

Game was over not a big deal. They lost and blew being the best team in NFL history now they're just a choke artist team that bite the bullent hard.

NFC EAST BACK!

So, basically you applaud people who are self-centered jerks? So you applaud Randy Moss mooning fans in GB, pushing a parking ticket officer on the top of his car, walking off the field early in Week 17 of 2004, calling out his QBs in public, etc. because it demonstrates that he doesn't care what society thinks and he did what he thought is acceptable?

There's a difference between being honest and being a sociopath.

Mooning the fans in GB was pretty funny if you smoke herb and were high watching it!

That's the dumbest thing I've read in the last month, and it's really vying for the dumbest thing I've read on the Warpath. Ever.

Why the hell is rules in quotes? Do you not know how quotation marks work?

He shook hands with Coughlin. No big deal. But I'm sure people will make a big deal out of it.

[Beemnseven]

Belichick is a smug little prick, but this to me isn't that big of a deal.

But you just know there will be a controversy about it. 'Did he shake hands with the opposing coach?' - 'How long was the hand shake?' - 'Did he make enough of eye contact during the handshake?' - 'Was there a hug?' - 'How long did the hug last'?

This kissy-kissy charade the head coaches have to play towards the end of the game is getting a little ridiculous.

I just had a problem, it was with the Tiger Woods Sundays best hoodie he had on. He never wore red before but chosses to on Super Bowl Sunday because he wanted to be camera ready when they were supposed to win the Super Bowl. Too bad for him it didn't happen they way he wanted it.

He was all dressed up with no place to go.

[Paintrain]

I didn't have a problem with it. He congratulated Coughlin and walked off. The fact there was .01 on the clock isn't really that relevant IMO.

[Darrell_Green_28]

He probably couldnt take to see the Giants celebrating, thats why he went ahead and went in towards the locker room

[QBall]

The Giants beat them, goes to show that Gibbs really wasn't that off thinking this was our year. That Seattle game haunts us.........
