This was a painful weekend without the pats playing. I guess its nice that we got the by week over with. Now.... well, we just have to get to the bye week in January

[pathetic]

Pretty good interview today... it's always nice when he's in a good mood.

[pathetic]

Michael Holley would definitely agree with that

[BotheLaneFan]

What's up with my boy Michael Holley?

[pathetic]

love holley.

a couple years ago Holley asked Belichick, and I'm paraphrasing, how he gets his team amped up to play a bad team when they're huge favorites and belichick kind of snapped at him and said it was a dumb/irresponsible question or something like that. pretty funny moment

edit:

“
MICHAEL HOLLEY: “I get the sense that if you, name the team, if it’s the worst team in the NFL, no matter what the circumstances are, I get the sense that you would find a way to say something good about that team or to think what that team does well. Is it simply you’re preparing for that team’s best even if they haven’t shown it?”

BILL BELICHICK: “Well, of course, you always prepare for your opponent’s best. I mean, what else would you prepare for? Do you think they’re going to come in here and turn the ball over eight times? I mean, you don’t prepare for that. You prepare for a team to come in here and play their best football against you, and how are you going to play your best football against them? That’s a competition every week. We can’t control how they play, but we expect them to play well and we’re going to prepare for them to play well. That’s what our game plan is going to be based on is the things that they do well and what we’ve seen them do well.”

MH: “You expect them to play well even…I’m not saying this is the case of the Bucs, but some teams haven’t played well. But you still expect it when you play them?”

BB: “Of course. Why would you think they wouldn’t?”

MH: “If they haven’t done it…”

BB: “So what? That doesn’t mean anything. They’ve done something…I mean, they’ve done something. Things that they’ve done well. Doesn’t mean that this week they can’t do a lot of things well if they’ve shown that they’ve done things in spurts or in one phase of the game or another. I mean I think it would be irresponsible to coach a team and tell them, ‘Ok fellas, the team that’s coming in here is not going to play well, so we should expect them to play a bad game so why don’t we play one that’s just a little bit better than their bad game? I think that would be totally irresponsible. I can’t imagine any coach ever doing that. I mean, I couldn’t imagine that, so I wouldn’t know how to prepare a team the way you’re talking about. I couldn’t even fathom that.”

A minute or so later, Belichick really put the hammer down on Holley:

“
MH: If you’re playing a bad team, I mean, it’s tough to say, ‘this team is capable of doing X, Y, Z, when the team is, let’s say you’re playing…

BB: “Yeah, like when we were 12-1 and went down to Miami and they were 1-12 or whatever it was? And they beat us Monday night in ’04? Is that what you’re talking about? Like it couldn’t ever happen? Like what game are you…I mean, what game are we talking about here? I mean, I just don’t understand it. I think it’s…to me, that’s just the most irresponsible thing I’ve ever heard of. I can’t even fathom it.”

[drop2d]

Those BB interviews when Salk was around were the worst. He made Holley dumber just by being there... surprised he never asked Bill "What's your go to salad dressing?"

And people can say what they want about Thornton being a fanboy... but he asks really good questions.

[pathetic]

remember answer the question, jerk? salk was the worst

[BotheLaneFan]

Who is Salk and how quickly can he become my best friend?

Also, someone needs to ask BB the questions from Holy Grail. Needs to.

I try to block out the memories . Salk and Holley was probably the worst pairing of all time.

[pathetic]

Mike Salk is an ESPN radio guy in Seattle now. he was on WEEI in boston for a very awkward 8months or so

[pathetic]

according to WEEI, the pats signed Dion Lewis to a 2yr extension

[ToySoldier#34]

Did anyone else see Beetle vs. Borges last night?

how did that go?

Beetle is also the same person that said the window of winning the SB with Brady at QB is closed, after that KC game.

[pathetic]

was it on sport's tonight? I didn't catch it last night. I can't stand Borges though...should be shunned for plagiarism years ago, but somehow people always forget that

not the biggest fan of beetle, but in his defense, he wasn't the only local guy saying that

He might have been the only one that works for the team that was.

[pathetic]

does giardi work for the pats?

[ToySoldier#34]

Yes and it was epic, they were literally sitting there for minutes yelling at each other and over each other and then during a commercial break Beetle apparently stormed off the set stating he wouldn't work with Borges again. The topic was whether or not Jerry Jones was a great owner / gm and could field a winning team. Beetle was stating that it is a completely different league structure now and Jones has been completely incompetent, while Borges was calling Beetle an idiot for thinking Jones couldn't field a winning team when they won 3 rings. It went over the top because Beetle was generally saying "it is idiotic to think.." while Borges was making it personal "you are an idiot".

[pathetic]

was it better than the minahane/Tanguay, "you're an moron" "no, you're a moron! don't me a moron!" segment? Lou was just sitting there laughing

Jones has 100% put talent on the field.

Honestly I think it was just as good if not better, Felger just sat back staring at the ground
