Haha....Rare childhood disorder left him unable to shake hands.

It doesn't have its facts right. Belichick didn't have any kind of childhood disorder. The talons prevent him from normal human contact like a handshake, and it's a lonely but very courteous gesture on his part to refrain from trying.

Can anyone think of a coach who has been analyzed more, whether jokingly or not? Parcells loved the limelight, I wonder if he isn't jealous.

I'm glad somebody finally pointed this out. We shouldn't scoff, we should be supportive of a man who has overcome these physical challenges to lead a productive life.

I may be being a little sensative here, but the remark about defiling his Father's grave is a little tasteless here. I know this is all a joke, but that one too me is always out of bounds to me. all else is pretty funny though.

Yeah, I felt the same way. Not as bad as that Peter Gelzenis(sp?) column from the Spygate period, but still...

Surprisingly fun when drunk

Isn't Belichick a teetotaler?

No, I'm pretty sure he's not. He may not be a big drinker, but I don't believe he abstains.

Way below the better Onion work. There's plenty of fodder to ridicule BB w/o the Dad bit and the items were so-so at best.
I do love The Onion, especially when its articles get posted and those recently fallen off the pumpkin truck go ballistic.

This series of images with the two sides is pretty bad, at worst. The Mike Modano one claimed that Modano taught his dogs to skate, which gave the team a checking line. Except everyone who knows hockey knows that the Dallas Stars are just another name for the Finnish national team and are entirely composed of checking-line wingers.
