Media Blackout

Patriots should collectively answer no media questions. BB should ramp up the 'on to' and 'Ive already addressed that' comments. Players should all answer only in platitudes such as in Bull Durham.
If the media wants to trash the franchise the franchise should exclude the media completely.

BB's wet dream come true!

In a way, I would love that, but I want to hear what Pats players and coaches have to say.

Geeze, you must really be frustrated by BB then.

Sometimes, but his positives far outweigh it. I just hope he writes a tell all book when he retires.

They aren't going to change a thing due to any of this because Belichick gives absolutely zero f&cks about ESPN's silly stories.

It will be business as usual.

He may use it as motivation though, by posting articles on the walls at Gillette. But he won't directly mention anything about it to the players.

Tom Jackson says hi

I can understand this, but on the other hand, none of these morons are worth changing your routine over.

do the required press conferences.....nobody says anything of value in them anyway.

As for the rest of the week,select a handful of local reporters to get any info at all...the rest can continue with their fantasies

Instead of not answering, answer the first football question in incredible detail that takes about 30 minutes. Watch these dumb reporters get confused

Not really, and they can go much, much farther.

Revoke certain press passes....what's taking so long!!

The only way to cause more than a blip on the radar is to just shut the stadium down. Tomorrow, when the media trucks roll in, and the fans show up to park, no one's home at the stadium. That's a protest they won't be able to ignore.

They (the pats) have got to fight back!!! Bring the F'ing proof, or shut the fvk up. Or WE WILL SUE YOUR ARSE OFF. Enough already. Enough pandering and cowering Bob!! Man the F up. Expose these idiots. Hire PI's to dig up dirt on these pricks. This is WAR now.

"We're on to telling you all to **** off."

While i love the idea, this isn't the players fight.

BB will pretty much give them non answers as he always does and focus on football. Personally, I toy with people who call the Patriots cheaters and it's kinda funny now. Depending on the person, it can range from good natured banter to getting their blood pressure worked up.

Oddly, I'm coming to terms and I'm nearly at peace with it.

There's more of them than there is of us and trying to fight them is an endless game of whack-a-mole. Besides, they get paid--in some cases shockingly well--for crawling through the garbage on their bellies. Name me a reporter who got fired for getting it wrong.

The 'gards' who are 'garding" the espn truck at the Razor need to step away for a smoke...and then...

Just attack them back in the media. Play their game. Go for the throat. When you look weak, people pick on you. It's time to stand up to the bully. As Anthony Hopkins says in "The Edge"..."I'm gonna kill the mother F'er". I've had enough. It's time to end this 5h!t. I'm pisst . No more Mr. nice guy.

I agree. Wish the Pats snub the media by just ignoring them.

Or, best - talk about Idle Gas Law every time anyone is asked a question.

As a Patsfan, I have stopped watching/reading BSPN and NFL.

The NFL's pathetic vendetta against the GOAT has robbed me the pleasure of watching the game.

I plan to watch only the Pats games this season and as my avatar says, I hope the Pats unleash hell right from the first whistle.

GO PATS!!
