Patriots head coach Bill Belichick took a detour off the field following this morning’s practice to sign autographs for a good 10 or 15 minutes, much to the delight of those in attendance, who filled the back field with chants of, “Belichick! Belichick!”

The coach had already jokingly referred to himself as the Celtics’ mascot during their run to the NBA title, and today he reflected on the unwavering support he has received from the fans of New England.

“The support’s been great and I appreciate it, personally and for our team,” Belichick said. “The fans here and other places in the area – being in an airport and someone comes up to you and says something positive – have been great since I’ve been here. I took the job in 2000 and the fan support has been really good. I really appreciate it and really feel I have a kind of personal connection.

I don't give a **** if it's the truth. People need to stop hijacking my threads (and others'). If you want to create a "Let's ***** about Tomase" thread, go ahead and do it. But stop polluting threads where people want to talk about something else.

not trying to get in a fight but if you didn't want people to complain about Thomase you could have started the thread without linking him.


anyways to comment on the real topic I think it is nice to see BB sign for the crowd. I have had a chance to meet him and get an autograph he really is a nice guy and its niceto see him get one on one with the crowd.

Mob rule does not control this forum. Any posts that hijack threads as part of a "Herald boycott" will be deleted and infractions may be issued. If you want to start your own forum and make linking to the Herald against the rules, that's fine. But disrupting threads on media reports about training camp is incredibly annoying to the original poster, especially if they are looking to talk football and not drag on some long-dead story. Stop trying to spin a thread on a media report into an endorsement of the writer himself or herself. It isn't. Consider this a warning to everyone.
