PLAYERS: Bill Belichick
TEAMS: New England Patriots
New-england-patriots
The morning after his season ended with a "crash landing" in the AFC Championship Game, Bill Belichick confirmed that he will be returning for a 14th season as coach of the New England Patriots. "I'll be here," Belichick said Monday morning. "Until I'm told otherwise, I plan on being here." Belichick, who was hired by the Patriots in 2000, became the NFL's longest-tenured current head coach earlier this month. His contract status (both duration and compensation) is one of the best-kept secrets in football. Belichick, the NFL's third-oldest coach, will turn 61 in April. He entered the league in 1975 with the Baltimore Colts as an assistant coach. "You'll have to deal with me again next year," Belichick cracked. "I know that's disappointing for a lot of you."

It almost seems like more has been made of what took place off the field following the AFC Championship game Sunday rather than what happened on the field during the game. Much has been made of Bill Belichick denying an interview to CBS following the game, and instead the Patriots having Devin McCourty speak to them. Many have called Belichick a “sore loser” and heavily criticized...

Another season has ended with a crushing defeat for the Patriots. And while Bill Belichick was certainly upset following Sunday’s AFC Championship loss to the Ravens, he was his usual self while addressing the media. What that means is that Belichick provided succinct — and rather uninteresting — answers to a variety of questions, while making it clear that the Ravens are a...

Bill Belichick was understandably disappointed with the Patriots’ performance on Sunday, and his frustration got the best of him after the game.

Shannon Sharpe apparently wasn't too happy last night when Patriots coach Bill Belichick didn't do a post game interview with CBS.  Honestly I'm not getting the big buzz about this.  Who wants to hear from a losing coach anyway?  What's he gonna say?  Umm we sucked tonight, they were better, we'll try again next year.  Oh, thanks coach.  Boring as hell. ...

John Harbaugh: Belichick is classy

Via Patriots Life  |  January 21, 2013
With everyone saying Bill Belichick and Tom Brady were sore losers, I was glad to see this headline. Belichick caused a stir last night when he didn't interview with CBS, a customary thing to do after a game, win or lose. As a result of this, Bill was labeled as unprofessional and a sore loser. I think John Harbaugh has the biggest say in whether or not Bill is classy or not...

There are actual football games, and then there are the games that people play within those football games.

Watching Bill Belichick address the media is something that’s rivaled only by watching paint dry, but apparently there are quite a few people with a strong desire to watch paint dry nowadays.
