Bill Belicheat Must Be Drunk
October 21st, 2009
It must kill Bill Belicheat to cough up a few minutes of his time each week to talk to the opposing team’s beat writers via conference call.
So maybe he has to dream up hysterical things to say in an effort to humor himself?
That sure seems to be the case when he spoke to the Tampa Bay pen and mic club. Belicheat almost sounded as if his Patriots were facing the 1978 Steelers reports eye-RAH! Kaufman of the Tampa Tribune.
“We’ve got to defend a great set of backs. This is as talented a backfield as we’ll see this year. The Bucs can hurt you in a lot of ways. They’re explosive and they’re dangerous. They’re great in the kicking game. We haven’t faced a quarterback like (Josh) Johnson this year that has that kind of mobility and speed. A middle linebacker like Barrett Ruud that makes every tackle. I hope we’ll be able to be competitive against them.”
Joe doesn’t know where to begin with those comments, but Joe is sure some of his readers will offer a few.

If he didn’t mention players by name, I would have thought he was talking about a good team.
If he hadn’t said all that other CRAP, I would have thought the stuff he said about Josh & Barrett was sincere. However, he’s just blowing smoke.
No bulletin-board material there. If the Bucs didn’t get fired up when Wesley took Peanut out, then there is NOTHING Bilicheat can say that would motivate them.

Notice he didn’t have alot to say? He’s being professional. He’ll show what he realy thinks on the field come Sunday. I really hope we score and the pats keep it under 60. Though a win would be nice. GO BUCS!

Maybe he has orders to talk up the game by the NFL. Seems like he is being a smart ass.

SARCASM! Surely he was visibly holding back a laugh when he said all that. If not then he either is delusional or give that man an acting job.

Bill looks like an older Josh McDaniels or Josh looks like a younger Bill Belicheat.

What’re you gonna do in London, Joe. I suggest a visit to the British War Museum.

what an insult……too bad the Bucs will just have to take it !

This simply to talk up the game for the British media

Its the “TRAP” game talk… He’s not trying to insult us guys. Just making sure his team is ready. Everything he said is what the bucs do well once in a while. Its not like he was going to come out and say… Hey they can’t stop the run, they’ll give up two to three passes a game for over 30 yards and do nothing at halftime to get better.

Look you guys are giving my team crap but Bill Bellicheck gets my vision. You armchair wanna be’s just don’t give my team the credit it deserves.
Thanks for the nice words about my boys Bill. Just for that we;ll take it easy on you

He’s covering his six for an excuse for when he runs up the score.
