Bill Belichick doesn’t do reunions. The Patriots head coach is not the sentimental type. Only if he feels someone can make the team better, then Belichick will welcome a familiar face back.Josh McDaniels, formerly the Pats’ offensive coordinator from 2006-2008, is back after a failed head coaching stint in Denver and escapes St. Louis before probably getting fired by new head coach Jeff Fisher. McDaniels will be an offensive assistant to outgoing OC Bill O’Brien, who’s leaving New England for the Penn State head coach job after the playoffs.It’s unknown what McDaniels will do as offensive assistant, but he won’t be positioned to step on O’Brien’s toes, that’s for sure.

Patriots, Belichick Say Hell No to the Magic Show

Last week I picked the Steelers over the Broncos, and even though I’m picking the Patriots this week, never again will I cross reference religion during a football prediction.

Belichick: Branch possesses "exceptional" skills

By Carolyn ThorntonThere are good players. There are great players. Then there are exceptional players. Deion Branch belongs in the third category, according to Patriots coach Bill Belichick.

Why I Am Rooting for Tim Tebow Over the Hated Tom Brady and Bill Belichick This Weekend

I make no secret about I can't stand pretty much everything related to Boston and New England. When the commercial says to "Trust the Gorton's Fisherman," I say "No way! He's from Massachusetts!"
