Classless Coach Belichick

[dgack]

Good lord people, some of you are hung up on what is legal and allowed by rule when the rest of us are saying there are the rules and there is the spirit of the game. What is this, Clinton's impeachment hearing?

Belichick is the kind of guy who pushes the boundaries of everything and dances on that line of what's "allowed" by rule, then feigns ignorance because it's not his job to care about the spirit of the game.

If that's how he wants to play it, vaya con dios. Somebody will return the favor eventually. It's philosophically no different than the whole "call timeout when a kicker is already in his kicking motion" crap. It might be "legal" but it's bush league and reflects a "win at all costs" mentality that poisons sport in general.

And if you guys think that isn't a problem you've obviously never been to a little league game full of rabid, screaming, overbearing parents, or read all the tragic stories about high school football players roiding out in an effort to stay ahead of the competition.
