"How does Bill Belichick enforce discipline on his team after providing such a bad example? Forget the perpetual wardrobe malfunctions and the utter lack of grace behind a microphone. Those are superficialities, irrelevant to the game or respect for the people in it. But walking off the field at the Super Bowl with time left on the clock and a play, however meaningless, remaining? It was about 100 times as disgraceful as the time Randy Moss left the Vikings' sideline early in a regular-season game a few years ago. Belichick has said that he didn't realize there was time left and that it didn't matter because he had congratulated Coughlin on the Giants' win and the final play was pointless. Well, enough players understood what they had to do, and ended the premature celebration so that they could line up and watch the Giants take a knee. How did the coach not figure it out? It's his job to know where the clock stands. The NFL needs to mandate suspensions for these things, a game for a player, four for a coach. There's no way to punish Belichick now, but would it really kill him to apologize? There are plenty of world-class hospitals in Boston; he could do it in one of their cardiac units, just in case.

more call for nfl rules changes courtesy of pats... :rolleyes:

Re: More BB bashing

Just another idiot spouting off.

Re: More BB bashing

I get a laugh out of all the pundits getting their panties in a wad over BB's leaving the field. It's always entertaining to watch so many people waste so much breath and time (that they will never get back) on such a non issue.

Re: More BB bashing

It is not a big deal or worth a fine. It just looks bad for him. Kinda gives people the impression he is a pouter. But to fine him for such a thing is silly. How much would the NFL fine someone for pouting?

Re: More BB bashing

We need to ban these obvious trolls....there's been an explosion of these miscreants on Patriots boards netwide.

Re: More BB bashing

yeah, well, jealous *****es come w/the territory when you win 18 games and 3 superbowls.

at the end of the day, giants still won but the headlines read: "PATS LOSE SUPERBOWL!"

Re: More BB bashing

How did BB not cheat? What then did he get fined $500,000 for and why did the team lose a 1st rd draft choice?

He cheated, but fans of other teams are jealous, too. The Pats have had unprecedented success, and along with that comes criticism and jealousy. Its part of the package... deal with it. At least you still have your 3 championships to console you at night.

There's a difference between committing a procedural infraction and cheating, and if you can't understand it then you're probably an idiot or a troll.

Re: More BB bashing

All I know, is that before BB we were just the PATS. Now we are the New England Patriots, striking fear in the hearts of the whole league! I got his back, no matter what! GO BB! GO PATS!
