It Is What It Is Bits from Belichick, 9/17

Quote:

You mentioned that you and Rex Ryan have different public styles. Why have you found your style works for you?
“I just think it’s best if you’re yourself. I think that’s best for everybody.”

Have you ever thought about how much more entertaining it would be for us if you [had a style more like Rex Ryan’s]?
“You’re not the first guy to mention that.”

Your players say that they see a very different side of you. Why is it strategically better for you to be the way you are with the media in public?
“I just try to answer the questions that you ask. It’s nothing personal. I like most of you.”

dont understand...what kind of questions are these ? why cant two people be different ?

EDIT: got it. they are doing a Rex vs Bill press conf on sunday nfl countdown. somehow it is funny ...

"Have you ever thought about how much more entertaining it would be for us if you [had a style more like Rex Ryan’s]?"

To me that sounds like a funny question that indicates a longstanding relationship with Belichick. And given that any questions about the Jets as a team can only elicit boilerplate "We have a lot of respect for the Jets..." why not?

it was a funny question .seems people were laughing . but the whole line of questioning was done to 'create' for the sunday nfl countdown show to display rex vs bill press conf styles.

What he really means is "Some of you are real jerks and ask the dumbest questions"

You beat me to it. I laughed at that. Always suttle that BB!

Maybe I'm deranged, but I love BB's pressers. Lots of hidden meanings and subtle messages in there. A thinking man's press conference, if you will.

I was hoping he went Joe Pesci (Good Fellas) on them.
"Am I here to entertain you? Do I amuse you?"

That certainly wouldn't be anything short of awesome but I see Sean Payton doing that if any coach would.

I get a kick out of his pressers, too. I think I get more out of what he doesn't say sometimes, than what he does. He's really raised it to an art form!

I agree with that. I have to say some of the greatest comedy ever is his press conf leading up to week 17 of 2008 when the press sparred with him non-stop trying to get him to say he was rooting for the Jets and they failed.

I'd rather he went all Maximus... "Are you not entertained?"
