Bill Belichick described the weekend's Pro Football Hall of Fame ceremony as ``very impressive," but said he hasn't let himself imagine being one of the enshrined just yet, though he is a virtual lock to be voted in one day.

``Let's just see if we can get the team to get off on the [snap] count and get 11 guys on the field on punt return right now," Belichick deadpanned.

I wonder how hard he bites his tongue to stop from laughing.

Man, the discussions between Mankins & BB must be exciting. 3 word answers, all of them cliches. I do like BB's self efacing humor, very Bill Parcells like. I remember the press commenting about Parcells losing 10 pounds once, and Parcells said, "Yeah, that's like a deck chair falling off a battleship". I thought that was pretty damned funny.

He followed that up with this from today's presser...


Q: I know you have had players before that have played for you and gone elsewhere and then have come back and played for you a second time.

BB: I think it's because I'm such a player's coach, probably that’s why. [Laughter]
