Beli-genius, San Diego, and a bunch of sore losers

A day earlier Bill Belichick and my beloved New England Patriots were fined by NFL for the "spy-gate" scandal. Belichick is widely considered as one of the greatest defensive coaches over the last 30 years, and has made New England the dynasty as it stands right now. He made a mistake, got caught ( its appropriate to remember that Patriots were caught last year against Green Bay too) and paid for it, and now its time to move on and focus on the mouthwatering clash between New England Patriots and San Diego Chargers on Sunday. When current and former players of Philadelphia Eagles and Pittsburgh Steelers start questioning about Patriots' super bowl victories, they are just being sore losers. Its disgraceful when they attempt to discredit Belichick for his hours and hours of hardwork and Tom Brady for all his brilliant screening passes in the faces of multiple blitzes. Patriots' were never caught videotaping Eagles nor Steelers, and in the absence of any evidence, it is jealousy that is driving them to besmirch lofty reputations of Belichick, Brady and Patriots.

Thankfully Belichick is an extremely driven and focussed guy, and we Bostonians love him every bit for his intensity. Hope we have a wonderful game against San Diego tomorrow. Meanwhile, Belichick press conference is as humorous as it can get...He quotes "San Diego" 11 times, "Chargers" 12 times, and "moving on" or "moving forward" 12 times, and refuses stubbornly to be flustered by the intense grilling by the media...Only Will Ferrell as Ron Burgundy in the movie Anchorman would have said "San Diego" more number of times...:-)

Way to go Bill, and good luck...
