As others have noted, odd timing for the article. Belichick made those comments before the 11/2 game, so we're talking about an article written in December based on a statement made in late October. And there is a chance that the Colts and Patriots will not play each other until next season, at the earliest. Strange choice to try and stir things up.
As far as Freeney's comments ("Tony’s not going to do that. He’s not that type."), didn't Dungy make several unsolicited comments about "spygate" during the offseason? Or am I remembering things wrong?
