INteresting exchange between Felger and Borges, that happened on October 26th, apparently Borges somehow was representing or preparing Bledsoe for his meeting with BB...and he felt that BB lied to his "client". Don't understand all of the dynamics, but Borges feels that BB is a great coach and a lousy person, awaiting to give him his induction speech when he goes into the HOF.. I am sure that is going to happen.

A transcript of a segment of the Mike Felger show on ESPN Boston yesterday afternoon, regarding the time 5 years ago when Bill Belichick made the decision to stick with Tom Brady even after Bledsoe was ready to play again. Borges claims he felt Belichick made the right decision, but didn't like how it was handled:
Borges: What I was up in arms about was the fact that he LIED to the guy about what the situation was gonna be in terms of what he had to do to win his job back.
Felger: OK, let me ask you about that. Why do we care so much that a football coach lies? What?s the diff? He?s a football coach!
Borges: Well, because I think if you want your players, to?I just don?t think it?s a smart way to deal with the players. If you want to lie to me, fine, they make a living doing that. They want to lie to you, they lie to you everyday.
Felger: How did Belichick lie? What did he say to Drew?
Borges: What Bledsoe said to him at the original meeting, when he was cleared to practice, and I know this firsthand, for a lot of reasons,
Felger: Why?you were sitting there on the couch?
Borges: I PREPARED THE GUY TO GO MEET HIM! Quite frankly!
