Pretty impressive he's thrown just 1 INT in 91 attempts with this 06 redux crew.
An int that hit a rookie's hands, no less.

I think that one of Demos' favorite movies is Reality Bites.
It has to be because he has now spent nearly 24 hours on the intent and the actual tackle on the last play of a game despite all of the video showing that Mangold intentionally going after his knees while Talib was CLEARLY going out of bounds and using his left shoulder to take out Talib's left knee.
First Demos makes claims that this is all about intent. Now, it is about the fact that Talib was still in the field of play.
I cannot wait for the next rationalization that he has.
No, it doesn't. It shows just the opposite.
Man you are one angry drunk.
Would it have been physically possible for Mangold to be below Talib's knees when he started? So now we know that no hit is dirty if a tackler starts above the knee. Got it.
Well, there are likely things Belichick was saying and there are unlikely things. If you want to assume the unlikely, that is you prerogative. Personally, I'll stick with Occam's razor and the general direction of the information we do have at our disposal. With Belichick you always have to read between the lines because he is not going to disclose anything. We all know that. And, if you require 100% proof of everything in life, you are going to have a bad time.
You calling me a drunk? WTF is YOUR problem, you goddamned windbag? First off, I don't drink or abuse legal or illegal substances. I admit I was still amped on adenalin after the game.
You are so ridiculous in your defense of your observation it begs the question are YOU intravenously connected to liquid LSD or what? Frame by frame proves it?????REAL TIME proves it...look at the clip ...he dives at the back of his legs at the knees and ROLLS backwards deliberately trying to injure him.LOOK at the clip...he hits Talib and using one of YOUR split seconds, the ref THROWS THE FLAG...what for...shyts and giggles??
I know this is YOU going on one of your "I'm always right!!!" jihads. Have at it. Stop making personal references you have dreamt up affixed to me. First off, you don't KNOW me and second off you haven't LIVED long enough to ever call me a drunk.
The video shows that Talib had clearly jumped out of bound before Mangold left his feet. Seriously, stop digging.
No, it doesn't. It shows just the opposite.
What we DO know is that BB has YELLED at his own players for NOT going down immediately after making interceptions in situations EXACTLY like that one.
Except, ya know, he didn't in this situation. In this situation, Mangold even admitted in a report that Belichick was screaming at him. Why? Because it was a dirty hit. That was pretty obvious to anyone watching the game, save maybe Mr. Magoo.

Rule 12, Section 2, Article 5 (a), which prohibits blocks below the waist by players of either team after a change of possession,"
Oh, and just to add, it's only a few days since the dirtiest player in the league was flagged for exactly what Mangold did - and the story has been all over the news since. Mangold's a moron for being caught doing the same thing.
I'll remind you of the NFL's ruling on it:
You must be from Belichick010405's school of thought where everything is black and white. Yes, it IS physically possible for Mangold to have been below Talib's knees when Mangold started his tackle if Talib was hurtling him.
Now, that we got that stupidity out of the way, the fact remains that Mangold was not aiming at Talib's knees, contrary Belichick010405's claims.
Kontradiction - Except, you know, Mangold couldn't tell what BB was saying so he couldn't really know if BB was ticked for the hit being late (OOBs) or Low.
Anyone watching the game who isn't a flaming homer knows that it was a hit out of bounds. That doesn't make it DIRTY. DIRTY would have been an intent to injure which it was clear it wasn't.
What IS clear as day that, had Talib not spun away, Mangold would have hit Talib in the THIGH area with his shoulder and made a near text-book tackle. It was the spinning away after Mangold had left his feet that put enough distance for Mangold to drop a few inches and to hit Talib in the back of the knees and for Talib to be OOBs. That is why it was a late hit. That is why Mangold will be fined. And no, I am not saying that it was Talib's fault that Mangold hit him in the knees.
Here is reality. Had Talib gone down the way he's supposed to in that situation, we never get to that point. BB has gone off on players including veterans like Rodney Harrison for not doing so. So, Occam's razor says that BB was already pissed before the hit OOBs takes place. So, I could easily see him yelling at Mangold because he's already angry at Talib and the hit OOBs just makes it worse.
