I bet Belichick would vote for Trump too. He's that despicable.

He's a democrat who did (does?) a bunch of work with Jim Brown with prison and gang stuff.

Also, I had remembered this quote from an article, so dug it up:

quote:

Belichick distinguished himself at Wesleyan not only with his football acumen but his leadership. Friends said Belichick alone had the ability to prevent administrators from closing Chi Psi for the frat’s numerous infractions.

“Bill was the responsible conscience of the place,” Deveraux said.

who exactly is gonna fire goodell
idk but it seems like the biggest reason they wouldn't fire him before now was his huge fuckoff buyout. if they can point to this and be like "bye bitch" and bring in somebody new I think it would be a real PR boon for the NFL.

Mmmm, sending some kid to steal play sheets from the visitors' locker room. True genius.

Hmm. I'm not a psychologist - and even if I was, I would know that making diagnoses based on short forum posts wasn't in line with best practices - but I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that u mad.

loquacius posted:

(somehow the literal theft of playbooks didn't come up once until right now a decade later when the league has a bone to pick with the Patriots, seems a little odd to me)

cause every single team does this. Billy might have been first, but you're crazy if you don't think every team pulls poo poo like this at home games. It just so happened that whoever orchestrated this PR blitz wanted to single out the Pats because they're salty as gently caress

just remember that pats fan coworker is now two people

I worked with one of them for almost 5 years while doing support on business phone systems and networks

now I've worked with this new one for almost a year and a half at a place that does criminal justice software (mugshot and electronic fingerprinting, facial recognition, crimescene software, etc)

the only dangerous situations here are when you go on site and are exposed to violent criminals i guess

espn figured out belichick's secret brilliant method to figure out who didn't travel to a game: reading the injury report that requires it to be disclosed

quote:

2. The Patriots aren't just in opponents' heads; they are in reporters' heads, too. That was the thought that came to mind when reading the Sports Illustrated piece about how opponents have suspicions about New England -- specifically the section that details how Belichick talks to his staff members on Saturday nights about which players from the opposing team didn't travel to a game at New England ("It’s not clear how Belichick knows ... but he does ... this gives the Patriots a few extra hours to adjust to any roster changes ... others wonder how much of an advantage such knowledge really provides ... it’s quintessential Belichick.) Well, the reason Belichick knows is because it's part of the league's injury-reporting policy. If a player isn't on the flight to a road game, he must be downgraded to out on the injury report because he's physically not with the team. The reason we know this is that the Patriots once had that issue with Richard Seymour in the 2000s and faced repercussions from it. For Patriots beat reporters, that word usually comes down at 8 p.m. ET on Saturdays, and we're conditioned to be available at that time to report any downgraded players.

thats way less cool than bribing airport employees :smith:
