Default Spikes benched at start of the game ?

Greg A. Bedard ‏@GregABedard
When there's an issue, they usually sit a guy for first series “@hannable84: Inferring it was disciplinary related?”

Greg A. Bedard ‏@GregABedard
Belichick said Rivera starting instead of Spikes was because of injury. For 5 plays? Yeah, right.

Mike Reiss ‏@MikeReiss
Mike Rivera played the first series at MLB before Brandon Spikes came on and played that spot in the base D the rest of the night.

Bedard seems to insinuate so

Spikes does let his stupid side show once in a while. Probably late to a meeting or something. Dumbass.

Word up is that Spikes, ever the prankster since uber jokster Light retired, substituted one of HIS vids for SF game film during a team review session.

Hilarity ensued. Belichick was not amused.

Belichick benched Welker for a series in a playoff game because of foot references during a presser. This wouldn't be surprising in the least.

I don't think you're being harsh enough here.

Does he do things like jumping to conclusions that run counter to the stated line of reasoning?

IDK, I might believe that Spikes was on the bench because of injury and the Pats' defense was such a disaster on the 49ers' opening drive that Belichick was forced to put Spikes back in the opening line up. I am tired of the media manufacturing drama.

Not a big deal unless revealed otherwise, IMO. Seems like a pretty slight disciplinary action, if anything.

We all know Spikes is a mercurial fellow but I do think BB thinks quite highly of him.
