Great quote from Belichick

[NE39]

From Mike Reiss' NFL Notes today:

At the end of the session, Belichick took written questions from students, one being, "Who is the most talented athlete you've ever coached in your 34-year NFL career and why?"

"I would have to say Lawrence Taylor," Belichick responded. "I would just say that I probably coached a number of players, a dozen players, with as much talent as Lawrence Taylor that you've probably never heard of, but they just didn't have the desire or the ability to take that talent and transfer it onto the football field.

"They were good individual athletes, but they weren't necessarily good football players, relative to players like Tom Brady or Troy Brown, or players like that who few would say, 'This is the greatest athlete I've ever coached.'

"But Tom Brady is probably the greatest football player I've ever coached."

Goes to show you why the draft is so hard to predict.

Yes and why I am so happy we did not take the slacker Gholston.

Yeah, I'm not sure it's such a good thing. It seems like it would be a good thing, but ask him how things were the night of the Superbowl that Never Happened. Pretty not good.

He's more a college basketball guy anyway.

awesome words from Coach B. Tom really looks like Poetry on a football field.

I think I speak for all guys when I say that that's a pretty small price to pay. Especially since, if he's a sports fan, he totally understands anyways

I'd never put myself in the ranks of BC, but....not so rare

Or if he wants a real wild ride he could put on a grey hoodie before lovemaking.

I am surprised that Belichick talked up a current player.:singing:

He was indeed quite understanding, especially after Vandy was ousted in round one of the NCAA tournament.

BTW, he'd never wear a grey hoodie. The grey hoodie is MINE.

*waves to nhpatsfan* Yup, we're definitely around.

There are no ranks here...as a man, I'm encouraged to here another woman let us men know how many "football freak" women are out there!

We can only hope to lucky enough to find one!
