Belichick Talks About Paying Off Officials

[DynaPaul]

Who's this guy to talk about paying off officials?

"Tell him we'd cover him one-on-one all the time, but he pushes off more than any receiver in the league," Belichick said with a grin. "He must be paying off the officials not to call it, so we're going to have to double-cover him some. ... Not that he can get open."

That comment made me sick. Belichick is the devil.

How can the Patriots have the gall to complain about officiating at all? I hope CJ burns your team, Belichick. You suck.

I thought comments like that about the officials were fine-able offenses?

Yeah, but coming from Bellichek it's ridiculous. This guy has gotten more calls than anyone on the planet. The Raiders game is one that comes to mind.

He's one to talk with all the crap his teams have gotten away with the past 5 years. He's a bigger two-faced ***** than my exgf.

One of the things the guy gets hammered for is his lack of personality.

Here, he finally shows he has a sense of humor, and all peope want to do is hammer him.

He also called CJ an "entertaining kid" with a "good sense of humor." He was clearly having some fun with Johnson - who by the way started the trash talking in the first place.

The NFL would be an even better place if more coaches relaxed and chilled out a little when they talked to the media and had some fun with this kind of stuff.

I hope Chad Johnson has a huge day for 2 reasons. First, so they beat the patsies and second, I have him on my fantasy team.

Re: Belichick Talks About Paying Off Officials

Bellicheck was kidding but he did it in a way to get his message across to the officials to watch for the pushing off...
Is it just me or is Tom Brady turning into another Marino. Everytime I watch the Patriots and the slightest thing that may be a questionnable call Brady starts whining like a little school kid to the officials much like Marino did. For as many calls that goes there way it is amazing Brady could whine to the officials as much as he does.
