NY Daily News' Rich Cimini takes SI report out of context, makes up BB quote (merged)

I really doubt this crap. I think this is an attempt from the New York media to rally the Jets. Belichick NEVER slams any coach or player in public. Complete garbage I'd bet.

The Jets' season opener against the Patriots still is eight days away, but the first salvo already has been fired. It's from an unlikely source: Bill Belichick, who usually is careful about not providing bulletin-board fodder to the opponent.

Belichick takes aim at safety Kerry Rhodes, ripping one of the Jets' best players in the current issue of Sports Illustrated. In a story that ranks the top 500 players in the NFL, Belichick offers his take on the rankings of Rhodes (29th) and Bills tackle Jason Peters (39th).

"Neither of those guys could make my team," Belichick told the magazine.

Oh, please. For God's sake, Belichick can make Andrew Walter sound like a friggin' Pro Bowler. :rofl:

Cimini wrote "Belichick told the magazine." Is there any link from the magazine? If Cimini wrote that BB told it to "the magazine" then that means it was published in the magazine.

This is a load of crap. It reeks of it. :rolleyes: I wonder when BB supposedly made these comments. Heck Rhodes hasn't even made the Jets yet. Whatever, let them keep piling on **** like this has a way of backfiring.

Re: Bill Belichick rips Kerry Rhodes - "Couldn't make my team"

Think it is OUT OF CONTEXT????

Here is quote from article by King:

"Most told me I was loony to have Rhodes ranked in the 20s and Bills tackle Jason Peters in the 30s. I believe Rhodes comes closest to Ed Reed (12), the best impact safety in the game, and I believe Peters, a converted tight end, will be an All-Pro within two years. So I wouldn't move them down even if Bill Belichick called and said, "Neither of those guys could make my team."

Re: Bill Belichick rips Kerry Rhodes - "Couldn't make my team"

Seriously, can anyone honestly see BB saying this to any reporter on the record? I say theres no chance this quote is in actual text online, someone should find it or this Cimini tool should provide some evidence atleast.

Thank you for the link CR4

Cimini should be fired for doing what he did, anyone else agree? He took that WAY out of context, that was a joke from King. Not a direct real quote. What a joke the Jets are.
