Regardless of the reason for the fight fighting a coach is undoubtedly a bench able offense.No it wouldn't lol. No team would be cool with a coach benching a player over a personal matter between the plaer and the coaches son lol. If anything.
Guys like Shannon Sharpe have told stories about one teammate having another teammates wife living with him and the locker-room and team making them shut up and work together to win and not let it distract from winning. That's what you do in the NFL
If someone in an office was arguing with a colleague over business matters and a third colleague did not want to get involved stating that's personal between the first two parties is a very valid way to describe the situation. No fisticuffs or wives involved.Okay buddy, what's the way you mean it
Timeline fits fine. He was told relatively early before the game that they wouldn't play him.Regardless of the reason for the fight fighting a coach is undoubtedly a bench able offense.
How does your bull crap story fit into the timeline of why he dressed and why he was in tears just before kickoff. We're the Bilichick's beating him up in the tunnel before the game.
Admit it you don't have any friends that worked for the team.
That's not what Kraft said. Kraft said it was a personal matter where Belichick made a personal decision that was not about what was in the interests of the team. Not an argument over business matters. Personal interfering with business. You are twisting what he said to get your own preferred outcomeIf someone in an office was arguing with a colleague over business matters and a third colleague did not want to get involved stating that's personal between the first two parties is a very valid way to describe the situation.

So I repeat anytime you want you can stop filling in the gaps with your bull and pawning it off as fact.
That's not what he said. That's what you heard because it helps you justify your 5 yeard of crapping all over the history of the franchise.That's not what Kraft said.

“What has been told to me is that there was something personal going on between Bill and Malcolm that was not football-related. I always felt that every decision Bill had made had been to put what’s in the best interest of the team first and put emotion aside. But with Malcolm, he did just the opposite.”That's not what he said. That's what you heard because it helps you justify your 5 yeard of crapping all over the history of the franchise.
So instead of sending Butler home immediately when he heard he was involved in a fight regarding his daughter in law he just sat on until just before kickoff. Makes perfect sense and is exactly how that timeline would work.Timeline fits fine. He was told relatively early before the game that they wouldn't play him.
Yeah. If it really was football reasons he would not have dressed at all. In fact I believe he would have been cut outright before the game. Then he would have elevated someone from the PS who he believed gave us a better chance to win. It's not like he didn't do this before.Kinda interesting that Google AI has found enough instances of such a rumor to make it into its summary of what might have happened.
We do know he did get benched and we do know it's a personal beef between BB and Butler serious enough to make BB bench his starting CB.
Personally I think an argument with Fat Matt isn't enough to make that happen, and that would not be a 'personal' thing.
The incident could have happened when they were already at the Super Bowl venue or even the night before. You are trying to weasel out by making a timeline argument when there is nothing prohibitive about it.So instead of sending Butler home immediately when he heard he was involved in a fight regarding his daughter in law he just sat on until just before kickoff.

Actually what makes perfect sense is that Belichick, being the vindictive piece of **** we now know he is, would want to publicly humiliate Butler by doing exactly what he did: Having him suit up and sit on the sidelines and do nothing for 4 hours.So instead of sending Butler home immediately when he heard he was involved in a fight regarding his daughter in law he just sat on until just before kickoff.

If you have to couch your statement with "personally I think" then you are by definition making up things to fill the gaps with your own bias agenda driven BS.
We're talking about the 90 minutes before the SB. Lol sure a fight between Stephen and Butler occurred during this time frame. It's a bull story and you're friend obviously had no clue what he was talking about or you're just completely making up that you know someone who worked for the team. I assume you're just making it all up.The incident could have happened when they were already at the Super Bowl venue or even the night before.

Like I keep saying all you guys do is fill in the gaps with your own biased version of what you think.Actually what makes perfect sense is that Belichick, being the vindictive piece of **** we now know he is, would want to publicly humiliate Butler by doing exactly what he did: Having him suit up and sit on the sidelines and do nothing for 4 hours.
I literally gave you Kraft's exact quote and you once again avoided that subject. Easy to create gaps when you don't look when they are filledLike I keep saying all you guys do is fill in the gaps with your own biased version of what you think.

That didn't happen. He made a spectacle of it. It was a personal reason and that's not good enough to blow a Super Bowl. Fireable.
Patriots coach Bill Belichick told NBC sideline reporter Michelle Tafoya that he "made the decisions that give us the best chance to win."
"I'm sure the players felt the same way, but in the end, we have to make the decisions that we feel are best for the football team. So we did. That's what I did. That's really all I can say about it."
I'd have to go back and watch it again your just clipping the one line that fits your narrativeI literally gave you Kraft's exact quote and you once again avoided that subject. Easy to create gaps when you don't look when they are filled
HahahahahahaI'd have to go back and watch it again your just clipping the one line that fits your narrative
Again something doesn't pass your smell test so instead you just fill the gap with whatever it is you feel.And after he gaslit everyone:
So it's best for the football team to dress a guy so he takes up a roster spot then play him for exactly one play?
That doesn't pass the smell test, and never has.
Being a spiteful jerk because "something personal is going on" fits the data far better.
This is the guy the cultists tell us is the GOAT and that we should not question his calls?
Even when they are totally questionable?
Butler benched for Super Bowl because of several issues, report says
"In the end, the final decision is what I said it was."www.wcvb.com
'They gave up on me,' Patriots' Super Bowl hero says after being benched
Malcolm Butler was a hero for the Patriots three years ago in Super Bowl XLIX. He was benched for Super Bowl LII and said the team gave up on him.www.wcvb.com
