He is boring at those press conferences. EVERYONE, except Pats fans hate it. Half the media in Massachusetts (but not in the other 5 states) resent their success and can't wait for the Pats to go back to the dark days of 3-5 wins just to say, "I told you so!"
Belichick, away from those cameras, is very glib and engaging. That's something the rest of the country never sees. When he's asked loaded questions, he never takes the bait. Ask him about the Browns and you'd think they were the greatest team in history.

I like his style. Not being sarcastic. Sure it’s annoying when you want to get info even if it’s something you don’t find to be important. But I think it’s cool. I watched his PC the other day and I backed it up a bunch just trying to get some ‘tells’...eye direction, hard swallows, that kinda thing. I actually found myself cracking a few smiles. Dudes a legend. That’s for sure. He’d be a formidable poker player.

If you get the NFL Network, there are a couple of great shows about BB. "Do Your Job" aired the other day, the "1995 Browns", and his own Football Life. We get to see a BB that is 180' from the one at the PCs.

I saw “Do your Job”. And the “Football Life”. They both were good. I especially got a kick out of it when he was talking about the ineligible receiver plays. Then talking about how they discussed no one but Brady ever throwing the ball. It does show him in a different light. I still don’t like the Patriots and if they advance I’ll be rooting for the NFC. But I can appreciate what he has done as a coach.

Everyone hates winners, right? Eventually, anyways.
If I hadn't been a Patriots fan since Grogan, I'd be rooting against them too.
I root against the Lakers, Cavs, Yankees, Penguins, Canadians, Steelers, Mets, and Giants (football). Living in Maine, that goes without saying. Those are rivals, both current and past, of my teams.
The 90s Cowboys, Jordan's Bulls, Tiger Woods, Yankees at all times. Couldn't stand them!
Naturally, I want NE to win, but if they don't I'll be rooting for the Jags. Despite Mark Brunell's crying.
It's amazing what he has done in a league where it's so difficult to maintain success over several years. It's fun to "hate" him as well as Brady, but their greatness is beyond question. That's why a Jaguars win tomorrow would mean even more to our fans. Can we do it? Absolutely they can, but our defense will have to take it to an even higher level. Stop the short passes to their running backs and put constant pressure on Tom Terrific and the Jags can win.

This is the only dynasty in the free agent-salary cap era. FA and the cap were enacted to allow sad sack teams like the pre-Kraft Patriots compete with the rich/draft lucky teams like the Steelers, Cowboys, and 49ers. Before the cap and FA, there were only 3 or 4 teams that even had a chance!
Without the cap and FA, there wouldn't be any Jags or Panthers.

Br*dy has been listed as "probable" or "questionable" for every game for the last 15 years. Just Belicheat's way of messing with the league.

The Pats list every injury, no matter how serious or minor.
