Toucher on Belichick: 'Who do you think you are?'

[SB39]

One thing I will say - BB acts like a prick needlessly and too often. Brady and Kraft go on and on about properly representing the franchise - and I agree with them completely - but BB, the face of the team, coughs, snorts, mocks, ignores, offends, without remorse. He ought to learn something about public comportment from his star QB who is bombarded with 'reporters' 24/7. Plus, there's no reason to act like a jerk toward legit reporters, they are asking questions fans want to know about. And even BB can't forget the team belongs to the fans first. There's no reason to disgrace our team by being such a jerk and I'm tired of it, have been for a while.

You should listen to his Monday afternoon interviews on WEEI. He actually gives insightful, interesting answers and acts in a much more relaxed manner.

So having a pleasant personality will result in less wins, how so?

Being open and forthcoming with the media could easily lead to distractions, which BB is desperate to avoid. He gives the media nothing because of how easily they take statements out of context and then the whole world explodes.

Quick question: do you think that Belichick owes anything to the media?
