I liked it.

Everyone has the mind set that he is a jerk, but he is really just focused. He has alot going on in his head, and doesn’t have alot of time for stupid questions. “Are you going to throw the ball to Randy Moss?” “No, we’ll let Tom will handle that.”

I loved that his office is spartan in decor and really not much more than a closet. Fits his personality. Functional without alot of style.

Thanks SMP

Great find.

Belichick doesn’t schmooze, and he’s not one smile to your face and shake your hand while the other hand is stabbing you in the back. He also keeps his business, relationships and interactions as private as they can be. It’s such a foreign concept that people would rather insult him then respect his reserve.

His letters to Pat Tillman are another testimony to that. A private act, a reaching out, not for publicity or because it makes him look good, but because he felt it was the right thing to do. [I just picked up that book, as I am a Jon Krakauer fan, and can’t wait to read it.]

Keep the faith!

It's bforce3's find.

That Pat Tillman thing is pure class too. Thanks for letting me know.

I'm not sure how long Belichick can keep milking the Raiders for draft picks

and I’m not sure how hungry teams would be to trade for an ageing guy of questionable production next year – the lack of salary cap thing means a lot of guys who would otherwise have stayed in college may declare for the draft in hopes of a big pay-day. If he’s traded, it might be for a Mike Vrabel-value – very little, but shifting his salaray away elsewhere.

Token southern hemisphere guy - 14,688km from Foxboro. That's 9128 miles, for you heathens.
