No he was deeply, deeply bitter with every 6-10 season he posted in my town.
He was being sarcastic.Doo said:Yup, when Bill Walsh lost a playoff game he became a piece of garbage choker too. Get real.He's the new choker in town. And he could use a full length hoodie sweatshirt to cover his head.
This got a lot of play in the game thread. Peyton certainly seemed very intent on getting to BB although he was initially blocked by a horde of photograpers (he didn't shove any though
). They showed him getting a AFC Champions hat on his way over and he took it off straight away - I would guess he thought it was impolite to wear it until after he had talked to Belichick. The gesture was however lost on BB.
Belichick is a great coach but he doesn't appear to a very warm person. I am sure most of his players like him a lot but to most everyone else he seems very aloof.
I noticed that too. And yet, he seemed to have the opposite moment with Tony Dungy and spent an inordinate amount of time with him. Much more than the congratulatory handshake.
I was a little disappointed with BB at that moment too. Especially since he had seemed so congratulatory to Dungy.I'll never say a bad thing about Peyton Manning again. Not just with jesture of taking the Championship hat off before approaching BB, but the post game comments, the press conference. He is truly a class act.This got a lot of play in the game thread.

I hope it didn't take you this long to realize that...The arguement could always be made in the past about his post-season struggles (although it was a bunch of BS), but his level of class has always been extraordinary.
As for the Belichick moment with Peyton, I must have missed it since there seemed to be none. The coach pretty much seemed to blow right past Peyton.
Not a Pat or Belicheck fan but since when do coaches have to congradulate players?Meet Dungy at midfield, shake hands, head to the locker room and cry. BFD
Sure they don't have to, but when a player seeks out a coach, it's pretty bad sportsmanship to not reciprocate. As an aside, it's one of the key reasons that makes the Stanley Cup playoffs so great - the handshakes at the end of a series.Not a Pat or Belicheck fan but since when do coaches have to congradulate players?Meet Dungy at midfield, shake hands, head to the locker room and cry.

Jesus God you people are like a bunch of old ladies nattering about who said what to whom.Other reports said that there were more proper words of congratulations given in the tunnel out of public view.
The shot of Bruschi and Manning was pretty cool. Clearly, BB's demeanor hasn't worn off on his always classy linebacker.
That's what I noticed. When BB and Manning finally got to each other, it was almost like BB brushed him off. He barely said a thing to him and kept walking. I guess everyone has their way of handling losing. You would think that after winning 3 Super Bowls, he'd be a LITTLE more gracious. Hell, he barely said a thing to Dungy!This got a lot of play in the game thread.

He's a jerk, why expect anything more? Great coach with no class.That's what I noticed. When BB and Manning finally got to each other, it was almost like BB brushed him off.

I think C3PO would throw less INTs though.
"Peyton says that the chances of me NOT throwing an interception are 725....to one""I seem to be made to throw interceptions. It's my lot in life"
Tom Brady managed to do it.Dungy did it multiple times. Belicheck is a great coach, but he's a jerk. Why even grant an interview after the game to a sideline reporter if you're gonna be an ###?

I suppose it is much easier to be a class act when you win.I was a little disappointed with BB at that moment too.

Dungy and Manning have had plenty of losses in big games during which they've shown their class.

@ Browns fans' priorities. Bernie went on to have such a stellar career afterwards too.
I'm not saying no one can do it, just that to expect everyone to do it is unreasonable.But class act to me involves way more than the snippets of personality we see on TV or read about from some last-kid-picked for dodgeball reporter.FWIW, I don't have a clue what BB is really like and don't feel strongly about him or the Patriots either way.

I still think of Eli as a bit of a crybaby, but it's not as bad as when he first got into the league a few years ago. As for Belichick's reaction, I can understand the desire to avoid too many questions about a tough loss, particularly when the opponent comes from behind to win. I guess the camera just caught ol' Sweatshirt in a bad spot.Go Colts!!ConstruxBoy said:mlball77 said:Neo said:I think C3PO would throw less INTs though.

BB's bush league, that much is clear.
After Reggie Bush's taunting of Urlacher yesterday, shouldn't you captalize that?
Reminds me of that Geico commercial "I'm not sure I'm in love with your tone"TannerBoyle said:I don't like the tone of your voice.Serenity Now said:Jesus God you people are like a bunch of old ladies nattering about who said what to whom.Other reports said that there were more proper words of congratulations given in the tunnel out of public view.
