They are trying to make a big deal about BB's "death stare" to Dana Jacobson

Fred Toucher is the head of this white knight idiocy.

The media is always looking for the next controversy.

To provide some context, she said, "I'd be remiss if I didn't ask, what was the final straw with Antonio Brown?" He deflected it and said "We're just focused on the Jets." She was smart and didn't press him, immediately saying, "Thank you coach" to end the interview and that was when that pretty intense stare down by him took place. Even I was a little uncomfortable because it was literally 3 seconds of him just staring at her, which felt like an eternity.

I guess we’re all different. I actually enjoyed watching him stare. But I don’t really care when or if someone else is offended. And if I’m offended, I view it as part of life.

New England Patriots' Bill Belichick slammed for giving reporter 'death stare' after Antonio Brown question

Gee, no wonder BB doesn't want to answer your dumb questions. He was clearly in pre-game mode and focused on the Jets. He stood by for a bit to make sure she didn't have a question about the game. Naturally, it's being picked apart by the twitter idiots.

I agree, it looked like he was thinking about something else when she ended it quickly.

It was crazy, she said, "Thank you coach." and leaned the mic from herself back to him, and he just locked eyes and said nothing...it was pretty nuts. Then she said, "Thank you" again and still nothing, and then they cut away.

I have to give him credit, he gives zero you-know-whats about what people think and has no fear when it comes to that.

I think he teaches a valuable lesson in today’s society where so many care about what other think.

Why do people care about that? Something to consider

You however are obviously far more enlightened and inclusive.
Oh well, at least your side had a substantial run with The Inquisition and the Crusades so at least you have that going for you

Lovely straw man, ad hominem, appeal to emotion, and argument from outrage. That all you got?

if there was an agreement and they broke it, the stare is understandable, but i mean if you watch bb press conferences you'll see stare downs, eye rolls, etc

this isn't anything new for BB, if you ask him a question and he considers it stupid, you're getting a look of some kind lol

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

sambam94 · Sep 23, 2019

typical weak minded individuals who think because he's a man and the reporter was a woman that Bill was out of line. I thought the point was that these people want everyone to be treated equally?

JMC00 · Sep 23, 2019

If they wanna *****, ***** at CBS or Jacobson. They supposedly set the interview up on the pretense of no Brown questions and what happens? They ask a Brown question, which Belichick gives his answer. Him standing there I take as him thinking another question was coming or that was his "you f**king kidding me" stare which was 100% warranted

Agreed. FWIW, I’ve noticed he gets more aggravated with women reporters over the years.

"Equality" is when you receive the same treatment as everyone else.

Ask a dumb question, get ready for the reaction.

Wasn't a dumb question. It was a big story.

If it was a guy reporter, I'd expect some retaliation of some sort. Curse Bill out a bit, maybe make fun of him... you know some sort of payback. A hard shoulder in the hallway perhaps?

So even though it really is awkward watching Bill do that to a woman, I suppose she just has to find a way to get back at him. Without making it a man/woman thing.

With that said, if that was my mother/sister/wife... yeah Bill would be on my ****list.

PatsDeb · Sep 23, 2019

LOL the media. BB stormed out!! BB gave someone the death stare!!!

Dear Media - BB is doing the same things he has done for the past 20 years. You did not need to go to any press conference. All the fans could have written the script for you:

Before AB's release:
Reporters: What do you have to say about the latest AB text messages? His antics? What if the NFL suspends him? Do you think the NFL shoulda, coulda, woulda suspend him?
BB: (answer to all questions). I'm here to talk about the Jets game.

After AB's release:
Reporters: Why did the Patriots cut AB? Is it true Bob Kraft overruled you? What do you think of AB's latest tweets? His antics? What if the NFL suspends him? Do you think the NFL shoulda, coulda, woulda suspend him?
BB: (answer to all questions). I'm here to talk about the players on our roster.

The joke of all of it is the media expecting BB to change his ways and do something different. We're onto the Bills media. Suck it.

Perhaps Steve Burton could offer some insight on this matter...

Sick and tired of the media. Good Lord

Actually, they know it and they ask anyway because the fact that BB will be a **** to them becomes the story.

Sports media is the worse media.

Look, many would agree that BB can be a ****. But he is our ****. Sometimes his ****ness is indefensible. I just wish that the best coach of all time would be a little bit more respectful and accommodating. How bout taking a lead from the GOAT. or Slate, or McCourty, etc.

It’s intentional.

He would rather be the focus of the media’s attacks and disdain of the Patriots than subject his players to it. That’s part of why he acts the way he does with the media, it’s probably just easier for him to accept his role as the villain and embraces it

I love it, these reporters are like mosquitoes and this one just got squashed.

I don't think BB was being an ass. The way she said "thank you" was very spontaneous and he wasn't expecting that. It took a second for him to process that.
I don't really think there's anything more to it than that. People have way too much free time in their lives to complain about s*** like this.

If someone posts a tweet and no one is there to read it, is it still offensive?

People are in a rush these days to find something to be offended by
