Anyway, it's mostly the media that has a gripe with Belichick. They need quotes and soundbites. The fans want Super Bowl titles. Belichick's delivered three, the media none. So fans don't care what the Pats' coach is like at the podium. Only on the sidelines.

The Associated Press took the photo. I called their photo department to check just when it was taken. Nope, it wasn't after the Colts game, back in Foxboro. It was shot in the RCA Dome before the AFC championship game.

That's a remarkable photo.

BB and the Fans vs. the Media. That story kind of says it all about that. Good stuff. I don't deny BB is a little strange. But I, and I suspect almost every Patriots fan, likes him warts and all.

Many true geniuses throughout history have been "strange", like Galileo, Newton and Einstein for example. There is only so much that can be packed in a brain, and maybe social nuances have to go. And that's the truth!

I think all of his personna is intentional, weird or not, it deflects a lot of attention off of all of the little things that this franchise does extremely well. BB is tough and smart enough to know if people are talking about him not hugging Peyton or give an interview to someone after the game, they are not paying attention to the details. This team is all about the situational details.

i dont find bb to be the least bit strange .i think hes a no nonsense type of guy who has little patience for stupid questions from morons who dont have a clue.

Thank you!!! I hate that most fans are so ready to acknowledge BB as strange and flawed, when the majority can't stand the clueless media, imagine being the coach and being made to deal with them on a daily basis??? I think he handles it all really well, there are times I would lose it on that podium, having to asnwer those inane questions over and over again.

I don't find him strange either! What IS strange though,is a bunch of idiots hell-bent on figuring out a genius.
