LMAO (http://www.yahoo.com/)

I'm not sure if the headline will still be there tomorrow, so...

Lame article.

Everyone thought time had expired.  The field was covered with players, coaches, media, security, fans, ...  Belichick DID meet Coughlin at midfield (he had to push his way around a media guy to get to Coughlin), shook hands, hugged, exchanged words, then trotted to the locker room.  What would people have him do?  Stay there, watch the knee, then go back out and pretend he hadn't just congratulated Coughlin 45 seconds ago?  Trot straight to the locker room and have a zillion people assume he blew off the NYG coach?

Anyone who thinks Belichick doesn't respect Coughlin or the Giants is an idiot.

I don't really care about what Belichick did or didn't do. I just found it hilarious that that story made the headline rather than the outcome of the game.

The referee clearly told him that there was time left right after his exchange with Coughlin.  He knew there was a play to be ran.  He ran off the field anyway.

But, its not a big deal to me.  A bit disrespectful of the game, but it was 'over' so I'm not too bothered by it.

Agreed.  A non-issue really.

I believe Belichick respects Coughlin and the Giants.

I believe Belichick is a great football coach.

I believe Belichick is an *bunghole* who knew exactly what the situation was last night and said "eff you I'm outta here".

Clive dishes a sweeping generalization?   [sm_shock]

Belichick may respect everyone on the planet for all I know but he's a contrary prick just the same. 

I've been called worse by better.

I ask again: when time REALLY expires, what do you want Belichick to do?  Meet the Giants' coach at midfield again?  Just bolt for the locker room?

Leave Bill Belichick alone!

(I saw this on FGI.)  ;D

LOL

I made no mention of any disrespect to Coughlin - I said he disrespected the game.  I would not expect him to run out there again, but I did expect him to stand on the sideline as the coach of the team while the game was still going on.  If he wants to bolt for the locker room then - no prob.

And as I wrote elsewhere, when he bolts for the locker room, everyone condemns him for a classless snubbing of the winning coach, the whiny little sore-losing cheat.

In that particular cluster of circumstances, Bill Belichick is *fudge*ed.

You write elsewhere?    >:(

In context:  This is professional sports at it's highest level.  The only thing that matters is results.  People garner very large salaries to produce those results.  If the goal is not achieved, you should be "sore". IOW, you should be mad as hell, and stomp off the field, if you're not already in the fetal position, and the other coach isn't gonna give a *fudge*, because he did achieve, and will get a contract extension, and an even larger salary.

Oh, I've called him a *trollop* before, it doesn't faze him.

Pfft.  It's on my business cards.

What bothered me more was his total lack of acknowledgment in his post-game interviews that there was even another team out there. Usually you get at least some sort of "hats off to them, they played a great game" statement. Nothing from Belichick, nil.

[Edit] I guess I didn't watch the coverage long enough to see this.


I stand corrected. Belichick's still a cock, though.

Didn't acknowledge the other team at all?

Bill Belichick Post-Game Interview with Chris Myers on FOX
Myers: "Outside the Patriot locker room with Coach Bill Belichick. Coach, you haven't had this feeling for a long time. How would you describe it?"
Belichick: "Not a very good one. We're disappointed."
Myers: "Where did the game get out of hand, in your opinion? You want to talk about the last drive?"
Belichick: "We had our chances on the last drive. They made some plays, and they made big ones at the end."
Myers: "Did you expect this kind of game, in terms of a defensive low-scoring game?"
Belichick: "Well, it was a three-point game the last time we played them. We knew it was going to be a tough, hard-fought game. And it was."
Myers: "Can you talk about what the defensive plan was in that last drive? It looked like Eli Manning was going to get sacked, obviously, and he got away and completed it to Tyree."
Belichick: "Yeah, we had our hands on a few balls and we had some pressure on them. In the end, they made those plays and we didn't. That's the difference in the game."
Myers: "I know this is difficult. What do you tell your team after a perfect season up until this point?"
Belichick: "Well, we're disappointed."
Myers: "OK, Coach. Thanks very much. Appreciate it. Thanks for a great season."

Yeah, I redacted my post. I must have been too busy trying to clean a sticky mystery substance off my hands.

He's a COOK too, apparently.
