Bill Belichick better hope Brady’s wife can get more prayers for the Patriots. By now everyone has had to hear of Gisele Bündchen sending out an e-mail asking for her friends and family to pray for (Tommy) her husband Tom Brady. The way the game started on New England’s first possession it doesn’t look like Gisele’s friend’s and family did their job...

New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick got a big dose of karma after cutting reserve wide receiver Tiquan Underwood on the eve of Super Bowl XLVI. It’s pretty funny how I just wrote about how wrong New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick was for cutting reserve wide receiver Tiquan Underwood just 24 hours before the biggest game of his life in order to add defensive...

Patriots coach Bill Belichick confirmed Monday what had been reported for weeks in New England. Asked about the succession plan for departing offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien, Belichick responded, “It’s Josh.” That would be Josh McDaniels, who will take over his old role running the Patriots offense.

When the Patriots got to Indianapolis last week, our own Gregg Rosenthal introduced us to the “new, relaxed Bill Belichick.” Belichick was cracking jokes during press conferences, keeping things light around his team and generally coming across nothing like he usually does when placed in front of cameras and microphones.

Here are some miscellaneous thoughts as we head into Super Bowl XLVI.
1) A few days ago Glenn wrote a piece in praise of the work of Bill Belichick. I have admiration for the DC that brought us XXI and XXV. I did comment though that we need to be reminded about the cheating that took place, especially Francesa's BLUNT reporting that both Faulk and Warner (XXXVI) knew that...
