Belichick Interview
May 17, 2008
Finally, Patriots head coach Bill Belichick grasps the upper hand in the media battle over spygate. While not the best of interview subjects, Belichick at least provides a concise picture of what he understood to be the rules over taping coaching signals in a lengthy online interview with CBS News (www.cbsnews.com). I’m biased because I’ve always been a huge Pats fan, having grown up in the shadows of the old Schaefer (Beer) Stadium, rooting for the likes of Randy Vataha, Jim Plunkett, Sam Cunningham, Tim Fox, Mike Haynes, et al. In my mind, Belichick will go down as the greatest NFL head coach in history, and the Pats will land a few more Super Bowl rings under his leadership. It’s about time he came out of his shell and defended the team, his players, and his legacy. Check out the CBS interview and make your own determination as to whether this finally puts the lid on the ridiculous debate on the impact of taping what’s long been in the public domain and part of football. I think it does.
