The genius of Belichick=The right arm of Brady
ww3.startribune.com 1/28/2008 — We're not the first to ever point this out, but it bears repeating right now: Bill Belichick was 41-56 as a head coach before he had Tom Brady and is 86-25 since. How much of his genius label does he really need to pass along to his QBs right arm?

Hillary Has Patriotism — New England Patriotism
killhillblog.com 1/28/2008 — No need to pull punches here. Hillary Clinton -- just like Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots -- will do absolutely anything to win, rules be damned. Her breaking her agreement and campaigning and competing in Florida's imaginary primary is a joke and a slap in the face to all Americans.

The more Belichick “changes”, the more he stays the same
mvn.com 1/24/2008 — Bill Belichick is highly successful as coach of the New England Patriots, but thought a failure with the Cleveland Browns. Was Belichick learning on the job in Cleveland. Not really, says Browns writer Mike Beckwith. It's not Belichick that changed. It's the change of ownership and quarterback.

Handley blunder launched Belichick
www.nydailynews.com 1/28/2008 — Bill Belichick is headed to Canton. The most embarrassing entry on his resume, until SpyGate, is that former Giants GM George Young designated Ray Handley instead of Belichick as the eventual successor to Bill Parcells.

If it wasn't for Spygate, would the Patriots be here?
allonthefield.blogspot.com 1/30/2008 — It's a simple hypothetical question, and we'll never know for sure.
Four and a half months ago, New England trounced the New York Jets in the season opener. But the bigger storyline was that the Patriots had cameras trained on the New York sidelines, and they got caught doing it.
If it wasn't for that event, would the Patriots be here? Would they be undefeated?

Dumbest Super Bowl Interview Ever —

Even on his happiest days, Patriots coach Bill Belichick treats the average interview like a prisoner of war interrogation: name, rank and serial number and nothing else.

As you would expect, it didn't go well: ...
