Is Belicheck classless?

[CowboyWay]

You see him run off the field with 1 second left? I don't care if he shook Coughlins hand prior to running off or not.

Stay out there, take your medicine you *$*&$&# Hack

[BlueStar22]

is there anything below classless? that's what he is.

[Bob Sacamano]

at least he didn't run off the field totally like that little **** Antwaan Randle El

evading well-wishers on the way

[cowboyeric8]

One word.

YES

[kingwhicker]

Look at that toid on the TV. What an interview. Dude is suicidal and ashen-can't say that I blame him.

[SultanOfSix]

There is no such thing as karma. Only God's will. And He doesn't like arrogance, classlessness, cheaters or wrongdoers.

Weird, my God loves arrogance, classlessnes and cheaters...hmmm...

O'RLY?

I wish it was the 'Boys who took it to the Pats, but I can't say I'm not glad.

[djtavo]

Cheaters Never Win!!! Its only temporary . . .

[Da Hammer]

LMAO that interview with Myers was priceless!!!!!!!!!!!!! ah Belicheat = owned!

[Mattsdad]

I enjoyed the Pats losing simply becasue of his lack of class.

[dougonthebench]

blank Bellicheat!

[Gangsta Spanksta]

:rolleyes: Uhm... Is the sky blue? :D Come on! How many of use didn't think he was classless before the super bowl?

[Phrozen Phil]

I enjoyed the Pats losing simply becasue of his lack of class.

He did not congratulate the Giants for playing well or make any kind of sportsman-like gesture. This is not a guy I would want as a role model for kids. Here's hoping that he recovers his composure and gives the NYG organization it's due....

And just think, a horrible call in the snow started it all. And they were cheating on top of that. I'd rather see Coach cheat running off the field than running up the score. Screw the Cheats.

There were two horrible calls (and I've watched the supposed "Woodson hit to the helmet" which is BS).

Watch the play again. Brady blatantly tries to trip the defender going after the ball. That's a 15 yard penalty and would've put them out of FG range.

[SweetDC]

He disgusts me. I don't know how anyone can have any respect for him.

[22Cowboys21]

I'm glad that all the "greatest team ever assembled in the history of all recorded time." talk will now END!:laugh2:

[yesfan]

He's probably upset with himself for not kicking a field goal
earlier in the game.Didn't understand that one.

[CowboyManDan]

I’ve always thought while he is the best coach in football, he is also the most classless. Him and his cutoff sweatshirt, going for more scores when already blowing out a team. He further confirmed his classlessness tonight by running off the field with 1 second remaining on the clock. As the head coach of his team, he needs to stay on the field until the end along with his team as a true leader would. I know it’s tough, but you just have to suck it up, take it and stay with your team until the very end, win or lose. Maybe he got what he deserved. One thing we do know, the last play of the Patriots 2007-8 season, their head coach was off the field. Classless.

I think you're right.

He's a genius, but he doesn't "honor" the spirit of the game the way it should be, IMO.

[CanadianCowboysFan]

His problem is he thinks he is invicible and never makes an error. He will never even consider he was wrong.

[windward]

Did we expect anything else from Mumbles?

[big dog cowboy]

One word.

YES
Two words.

Hell yes.

[theogt]

He actually shook his hand before the spike, when everyone was on field.

[BraveHeartFan]

I'm not shocked by the fact that he left like that. It was pretty much a given he'd do that the moment he shook the hands with 1 second left.

[Beerguzzler44]

No doubt..... He thinks very highly of himself..

[peplaw06]

I wish the Giants would have taken a shot into the end zone with :01 on the clock. That would serve him right.

[CanadianCowboysFan]

I wish the Giants would have taken a shot into the end zone with :01 on the clock. That would serve him right.

lol, when they said no Patriots were on the field, I was almost hoping the Giants did that

[WoodysGirl]

That's what I thought occurred. Thought I missed something.

[Vertigo_17]

I was hoping for the same thing. Final nail in the coffin...

[AbeBeta]

The clock actually ran down to zero, he saw that and believed the game was over.

That's all there is to this story.

[Vertigo_17]

Not sure about the actual "game" clock, but on TV the game clock was not at zero. Also, the players had to stay out the finish the play, yet the coach didn't know there was time still on the clock? If players are on the field, I would expect the coach to be aware of that on also be out there.

[peplaw06]

The clock actually ran down to zero, he saw that and believed the game was over.

That's all there is to this story.Mike Carey was right there telling him and Coughlin that there was still time on the clock as they were trying to clear the field. This excuse is weak.

[dadymat]

He's a genius, but he doesn't "honor" the spirit of the game the way it should be, IMO.

I disagree with the genius tag he gets....he was less than 500 as a head coach before he got Brady now hes 80% ......quarterback makes that team what it is........half the coaches in the league could win with that team

[utrunner07]

The clock actually ran down to zero, he saw that and believed the game was over.

That's all there is to this story.

it looked like several people tried to stop him and told him time was left , he just ignored it

[BraveHeartFan]

Please dude. Don't even. He knew there was time left and he knew it cause he could see that they were putting players back out on the field. Bill just didn't want to be out there.

[utrunner07]

I disagree with the genius tag he gets....


agreed...that genius head coach went for it on 4 and 13 instead of trying a 49 yard field go that lo and behold would have caused a tie....pure genius!

[ThreeSportStar80]

Haaaa he looked like a complete jack@## running off the field early!

[Chocolate Lab]

One word.

YES

:hammer:

Has anyone checked the Boston area bridges for Norsey?

[Rack Bauer]

Is Belicheck classless?

Yes. And that was the case even before the superbowl.

I'm hoping he'll "Wash up" somewhere... in a few weeks.

On Mike and Mike, they said the game clock was at zero and then a second was put back on the clock.

Before Mike Carey informed them they had to run one more play, by rule, Belichick and Coughlin were already shaking hands and whatnot. And with the amount of people on the field, I think everyone was confused by the clock, not just the coaches. So I'm not sure where the bashing is coming from in this case.

They already did the sportsmanship thing, so why do it again?

[galacticowboy]

you're kidding yourself if you think he didn't know there was still time on the clock. he was informed by the ref as he was running onto the field to escape. he simply wanted to leave, so he did.

[WoodysGirl]

And if you believe there's a tooth fairy, expect to get a dollar when you get old and start losing you're teeth.

Seriously, people look for **** even when there's nothing to be found. Don't let hate blind you to reality. I sat there and watched while both Belichick and Coughlin met in the middle of the field along with a gang of other folks. Who does that if they think there's still time left on the clock? That's when Mike Carey had to tell them there was still time on the clock.

This is such a non-issue, but folks will believe what they will cuz it's the Pats and you MUST think the worst at all times.

I agree. It amazes me how some can take the most minor things and try and make them out to be bigger than what it really is.

[galacticowboy]

Hey, no blind hatred here. In my mind if ANY coach has been informed by the ref that the game isn't over, he shouldn't leave the field, regardless of confusion and whether the handshake has taken place or not. Would feel the same way if we had just lost the super bowl and wade had done it.

[theebs]

YAKUZA


exactly right, they have always been that way.

He acted the same way when they lost to the broncos in 05.

That team comes off as classy because they are always winning and get to take the high road and smile..

When they lose...its a totally different story.

unfortunately the giants won, who are even more unbearable.

[WV Cowboy]

It is not THE story from yesterday, but it is what it is. He left his team out on the field because it was uncomfortable for him to stay out there.

He absolutely knew that another play HAD to be run, he knew that. And a leader of men would stay with his players. I understand that it was a hard thing to do, but it was the right thing to do.

Myself, I don't really care what he did, if he left or stayed, but it is no surprise that he did leave. He is a bully type, and that is what they do.

There are some coaches that would never have left early the way he did, but I have seen it before.

Another famous coach did something very similar when WVU upset his team in Morgantown one year. We played him every season back then, and he would always be very diplomatic and sportsmanlike each year because WVU was always his whipping boy. But when WV upset him he left the field and took his team with him with like :10 seconds left or something.

Some don't have the backbone to do what is very hard to do, even though it is the right thing to do.

It seems there has been time after time that people have to explain why Belichick did what he did or acted the way he did. They have to explain or take up for his actions time after time. There is a reason for that, and so that is why I was not surprised that this coach did what he did.

Like I said, it is not THE story, .. kudos to Eli and the Giants.

[Boys4Life]

Belicheat...the name says it all. He goes from, Cleveland can't get rid of him fast enough to the most high and mighty the game has ever seen just because he went to NE. Fact is, most coaches worth a darn can coach when you have talent. Can the "genius" talk stop now?

[khiladi]

Randy Moss got trashed for leaving the field early, prior in his career....

[MinnesotaCowboy]

My wife asked me who I was pulling for and after several seconds I replied "I don't know".............although the Gents repulse me, the arrogant Patriots displease me more! Tough decision but I was happy to see Eli (but surprised) lead his team to that last score..............the perfect season ended...........and we can deal with the Giants in 2008!:cool:

[WV Cowboy]

Randy Moss got trashed for leaving the field early, prior in his career....

Yes he did, but to me it is different, .. even worse, for a Head Coach to do this.

I don't remember thinking it was that big of a deal that Moss did it. He shouldn't have done it, but still, it is different since it was a Head Coach.

[conner01]

there are lots of reasons to dislike bellicheat but this is'nt one of them. he had already shook hands with tom.some people let their hatred blurr their vision.
the real question is why he did have the signal for the route that won the game. someone on his staff must have vidoed the wrong signals
