Belichick enthusiastically greets fans on return to Gillette

There's a great video there too. Belichick was almost shoving the security guards and cameras out of the way in order to get the line and high-five everyone.

It's out of form for him to do this....why?

You'd think the Pats would probably acknowledge the fans there, but not like this. Surprising after such a tough, demoralizing loss.

I think this season he's been touched about the fans support for him. I avoided all coverage yesterday and then they showed this in the sidebar while watching How I Met Your Mother. It was very nice to see fans there, it made me feel like a bad fan because I just spent the day feeling so crappy.

I doubt he was expecting anyone to be waiting to give him a hero's welcome.

BB doesn't hate the fans particularly those so dedicated to stand outside in the cold to wait to greet them returning from a loss. Nobody there ever called him a cheater.

So BB pushing a camera man out of the way so he could high-five his supporters seems to be perfectly in form for him.

Yeah, I'm sure it touched the Patriots players. I'm sure they feel like they're the biggest chokers in the history of the world right now, and the fact that fans still came out to say thanks for a great season was I'm sure very touching, to BB as well.

They'll bounce back, and we'll be there when they do.

I'm sure he figures he'll take plenty of crap about booking the field with a second left, so maybe he's in damage-control mode.

Thanks for posting the pics and links.

I love this team and wish I could have been there to welcome them back and to show support.

I think after dealing with so much crap, it was a chance to express solidarity with, in a sense, family. Great coach, and if you actually pay attention to what the man does, a hell of a guy.
