Ya think the media would learn by now that BB won't answer these types of questions.

If this was a regular-season game, would Tom Brady have played?

"It’s not a regular-season game."

Was it a last-minute decision with Tom?

"Was it a last-minute thing? I don’t know. We had a lot of players that didn’t make the trip. Guys that were here played, and the ones that didn’t, didn’t. If they weren’t going to play, they weren’t going to make the trip."

Are you concerned about him at all? How would you characterize the injury?

"I wouldn’t characterize it."

God, I love Bill Belichick. I love that last line: “I wouldn’t characterize it.”

The guy's a riot.

At this point, I only listen to the postgames to see if he says anything out of character. You may recall Steelers Safety Anthony Smith “guaranteeing” a win. The Pats burned him for 2 TDs (one a fleaflicker) and Belichick had this to say when asked about Smith:

“We’ve played against a lot better safeties than him, I’ll tell you,” said Patriots coach Bill Belichick, piling on. “The safety play at that position was pretty inviting.”

I guess he had a thing against Mr. Smith

Back in January, there was an article about Welker on ESPN. My favourite part:

"By Week 6, when the Patriots prepared for a superhyped game against Dallas, it was obvious that Welker, 26, was immersed in his surroundings. He’d gotten a text message from his brother, Lee. Big game coming up, huh? Wes texted back: They’re all big.

Wes, the family joked, was turning into Bill Belichick.

A sampling of some recent Welker “sound bites”:
When you did you feel you belonged in the NFL, Wes?

“I guess once I made the team.”

What do you say about the Giants calling you guys a dirty team?

“It’s their opinion about it, and we can only control what we can control.”

Seems like BB is quite contagious :D
