Oh this is rich.

At a walk-through practice, Milloy explained to Belichick that he had heard first-year defensive tackle Richard Seymour beaming about how spacious his room was. Milloy could barely squeeze luggage into his. What was up with a rookie scoring a bigger room than a veteran? “Really, Lawyer?” Belichick responded. Belichick was already trying to prepare a two-touchdown underdog to face the St. Louis Rams; he didn’t need another headache.

When Milloy returned to the team hotel after practice, a concierge greeted him with a key to a new room: “Big as hell,” Milloy recalled, and with a panoramic view of Bourbon Street, a Jacuzzi and, oddly, a treadmill in the corner.

At the Patriots’ team dinner that night, Belichick approached Milloy. “How do you like that room, Lawyer?” Belichick asked.

“It’s cool,” Milloy replied. “But I don’t know why they put that treadmill in there.”

“That’s because it was my room,” Belichick said.

And yet even after that you still packed up quit and went to Buffalo. Why Lawyer?

Great stuff, am a sucker for these stories were bonds transcend the inevitable bitterness that ensues from tough business decisions. Same thing seeing BB hang with Seymour during training camp. Or even he and Parcells for that matter.

That hotel room story is priceless!

During Super Bowl XLVI, in 2012, the Patriots’ headsets malfunctioned in the second half, leading to harmful miscommunication. And so, in the week leading into last season’s Super Bowl, Belichick stopped practice and shouted for the coaches to drop their headsets.

This is from 5 days ago. Sally was prescient.

Looks like my free phase is over and I'm not giving them my email. Anyone got another way to view it?

Love the tidbit about the coach saying they kill time by talking about how much the patriots cheat… Good use of time fellas.

Great stuff, thanks for posting.

Because BB wanted LM to redo his deal and he wouldn't.

Nice inclusion of Coach Ferentz in there. I'm a huge Iowa fan (I hail from that great state), so it was icing on the cake.

Bill assumed giving him his room at the SB was enough

That's a damned nice article. Thanks for posting that link. I would've missed it otherwise.

Same here, it's crazy considering how long he's been tenured at Iowa now. After his days with him in Cleveland. Went to college football and never looked back.

I was born at Des Moines. Loved Iowa, but not the humidity. I can still remember those three-shirt days.

What I do miss are Maid-Rites. A couple of them and a cold beer will set you right.

First time I hear about the headset malfunctions in the 2012 SB. Provides once again amazing contrast to Tomlin's whining.

I currently live in a suburb of Des Moines (Ankeny) myself actually. You really get your seasons out here. One of the only places out there that can get a 90 degree weather and also have snow accumulate both in the month of May.

This article is like the "do your job" piece. It shows us the REAL reason why the Pats win, regardless of the players. People should note the difference between Tomlin and BB when the phones go down. Tomlin whines to the country, BB says nothing but makes sure he will never be caught flat footed again when the phones go down.

In fact did anyone here know that in the 2011 superbowl the Pats phones went down. I know I never have. I had to wait for some story to come out years later. GOD are we lucky to have him here.....AND man is it painful to have his integrity questioned by lesser mean spirited men. Don Shula should be ashamed.

I would like to propose a change. Can we exchange two sports media personnel from here with two from Washington post? They are dying for a quality team to cover and they will appreciate it. Instead we are stuck with Volin, and the other fool..
