Belichick Mangini handshake - New England Patriots Forums

is getting ripped on espnradio.com by dan patrick.Saying he might as well not go to the field to shake hands.
He is normally one of the better ones i listen to...
Also questions BB's dress code and what he wears..

Man, 2 bad games and people pick on anything to criticize

Exactly, if he wins his hoodie is charmingly eccentric and just showing who he is, if he loses he is an embarassment to the league, it is so sad how these pundits' opinions change direction like the wind.

Maybe BB is trying to show his players how to act against the opposition? The Mangini/BB is nothing more than a figment of bored press.

As far as the clothing of BB goes, it is another non-issue except for the well dressed sports announcers.. who cares about that stuff anyways. Why don't they focus on Krafts penchant for the blue shirt with a white collar??

I had Jim Rome on for one minute this morning and he was all over BB. I turned that SOB off. In fact, I would like to see Rome get his ass handed to him like Jim Everett did a few years ago, which was caught on TV. Funny as hell. Rome persisted in calling Jim "Chris", or "Chrissy", Everett said one more and he'd beat the crap out of him, and he did! Back to BB, I don't mind bad losers as coach of my team. Get'em next week!!!!!!!!!!!!

I actually think the behavior reflects pretty poorly on BB. I don't like Mangini at all, but it seems like with his behavior it makes people think Mangini is getting the better of him.

And belichick doesnt care how it reflects on him..he is who he is...

He went to midfield and shook hands. Both times. Who cares how. So he didn't offer Eric any tongue - that's OK. Why don't they talk about when Dungy didn't even bother shaking hands with Belichick a few years back ?

i heard on the dan patrick show that the reason BB might be pissed at mangini is that according to "analysts who didnt want to be identified, mangini was recruiting pats players to join the jets on the plane back after the denver loss" FWIW...

That would seem to fit with the other talk about Mangini's card key being locked out of the team facility when they arrived back. A simple phone call from Belichick could take care of that.

this story is really getting played a lot....the whole BB mangini relationship is on espnnews now...eric allen, qaidry ismail saying BB should happy for his fellow coaches...
they seem to be really having a lot of fun at the BB's expense which i guess creates more media story and hype for them the next time they meet..
