When you get older and have a HoF legacy that's pretty much etched in stone, you really don't give a (bleep) what you say or how people feel and are more concerned about standing up for what you think is right.
This from Schefter, via ProFootballTalk:
"They were in a meeting the other day with Dean Blandino, the head of the officials, and Bill Belichick got up there, and in profane language, told the NFL: 'We spend money to send the Pro Bowl to Brazil, we spend money to go overseas to London, but we can't spend money to have four cameras in the end zone, four cameras to help determine the correct call in the end zone on certain plays?' He went off, and the way it was explained to me, from people in the room at the time, they were laughing at it because his language was so profane and because he was so incensed about it, and the NFL didn't know how to handle it. But the bottom line is, they did not introduce the four cameras in the end zone, they thought right now it's too cost-prohibitive for the NFL even, and they don't know how to do it. They'll probably continue to look at this, but Bill Belichick left these owners' meetings not particularly happy."
Perhaps that helps explain why Belichick seemed to be in an especially terrible mood while speaking with reporters Tuesday.
