"That we’re all a bunch of jerks, starting with the head man, Bill," said Hobbs. "Bill will be the first to tell you he comes off as a jerk, intentionally. Because, I think, what he tries to manifest throughout the players is that we’re here for football.
"There’s so much going on – the circus in the media and all that stuff, and the hoopla in the NFL these days – it’s hard to keep the focus on the game. I think that’s why they have everything so distinguished, set apart from everything, as far as the organization away from the players. Where there’s only access for the players on the lower level -- the players and the coaches. And I think by him doing that, it kind of sets the tone, and let’s you know that we’re here to play football and win games."

Love his use of "we", even though he's an Eagle now
Hobbs talks about another misconception outside of New England too – Randy Moss’s work ethic and raw talent. He said that the receptions everyone sees during a game are nothing like the fantastic catches Moss makes during practice.
He also comments about Brady, saying while everyone in the media was talking about whether or not Brady will ever play again because of the knee infection set-back, Brady was running out on the practice field. And that’s due to Belichick keeping things as close to the vest as possible.
Lots of good insight in the 9 minute audio clip – including which player does the best Belichick impersonation.
Keep the faith!
I was just reading this a minute ago
I would love to see the Belichick impersonation and the “Air Moses” sandals. It looks like Belichick has the fashion trends for winter and the summer.
