Ruskell Paranoia Ends

Found January 24, 2012 on Chicago Bears Weblog:
PLAYERS: Bill Belichick
TEAMS: New England Patriots,  New York Giants,  Chicago Bears

At least that’s one less thing to worry/complain about. Today’s Chicago Tribune reports that current Bears director of player personnel Tim Ruskell has been eliminated from consideration to be the next GM. According to the article, the finalists are Jason Licht from the Patriots (the guy it is reported has absolutely no control under Bill Belichick) and Phil Emery of the Chiefs (the guy that helped draft Rex Grossman). I know that’s not totally fair-Emery also helped draft Brian Urlacher in his first stint (1998-2004) with the Bears. Aren’t the Bears the only team that needed to find a new GM that hasn’t yet hired one, which is typical? And per the article, this process could “drag into next week or beyond.” Congrats to the New York Giants. Sorry to see Jim Harbaugh lose, but you have to hand it to the Giants-never anybody’s pick to make it to the Super Bowl, yet despite massive injuries they continue to shock the league and hav...

Big news: Patriots coach Bill Belichick won’t wear the red hoodie for Super Bowl XLVI

Via The Rap Sheet  |  January 25, 2012
This is big news. No, I’m not joking. Actually, real, serious big news. Patriots coach Bill Belichick won’t wear that ugly red hoodie for Super Bowl XLVI. That article of clothing that drew the ire of fans — with many believing it was the reason the 2007 dream season ended so badly — will be kept in the closet. Or burned. A repeat of Super Bowl XLII won’...

Logistical preparations have begun for trip to Indianapolis

Via Projo Pats Blog  |  January 24, 2012
By Brian MacPhersonFor Bill Belichick, the Super Bowl is just like any other game. "I think every game is a big game," he said on a conference call Tuesday when asked about coaching in big games. "I don't know what you mean about which ones are and which ones aren't. They all are." For Belichick, then, the Super Bowl is just like any other road trip...

Belichick: The Best Coach Ever

Via NBC Miami  |  January 25, 2012
Before we begin, I must offer full disclosure: I hate the Patriots and I hope Bill Belichick loses to the Giants and then gets embroiled in some kind of awful scandal. Now, despite all that venom, I have the utmost respect for that coldhearted scumbag, and any reasonable fan ought to as well. This will be Belichick’s fifth Super Bowl appearance as a head coach, which would...

Pats favored by Vegas to beat Giants

Via AP on Fox  |  January 22, 2012
Las Vegas casinos have made the New England Patriots favorites to win the Super Bowl thanks to their national following, a decade of winning and the playoff mystique of quarterback Tom Brady and coach Bill Belichick. In odds posted Sunday night by Cantor Gaming, the Patriots opened as three-point favorites over the New York Giants after New York beat San Francisco 20-17 in overtime...

Parking Lot Pole at Foxboro taken down, Gronk's Shoulder did not play a part in it

Via Sorry Bro: Sports Through Houser  |  January 23, 2012
I'd like to say Bill Belichick's ego did, but obviously it was Tom Brady's winning spirit that lead this bulldozer driver to continue his pursuit to finish the job he was planned to do. Billy Cundiff tried to take that pole down just before, but he missed. "Look out! Look out!" Super Bowl Bound: Foxboro : MyFoxBOSTON.com

A look at how much no-huddle offense the Patriots will use… and links!

Via The Rap Sheet  |  January 22, 2012
When the Patriots have needed a boost this year, the answer has been easy. Go no-huddle. Coach Bill Belichick tells them to “Go!” QB Tom Brady starts hurrying everyone up, and they step on the gas. Often with five wides, usually in three minutes or less, the Patriots will move down the field. It has always been a weapon, but we saw it more than ever last week against...

I’m already blaming Sports Illustrated again

Via Boston's Bettah  |  January 25, 2012
Come on, seriously? Didn’t we go through this with the Vince Wilfork cover last year? Does Sports Illustrated hate us or something? I thought Peter King praises Bill Belichick like he is a god or something. How would he let the magazine do this to us? This is BS. I’m curling up in a ball and rocking back and forth until Super Bowl Sunday. We are only three days into...
