Interesting. Bouchette compares Belichick to Mark McGwire and the fact Pro Baseball Hall of Fame voters did not induct him when he was first eligible. The accusations of steroid use follow McGwire around and were clearly the reason he did not pull the be of required choose.
His little tirade and refusal to answer questions asked of him directly by a Senate subcommittee investigating the matter probably didn’t help either. He at least gave us something by which to
Strangely enough was kind of similar. Full of emotion thinly veiled as a tough guy trying to move past a controversial issue that he created but won’t own up to and generally not accepting ownership for his actions.
I’m not sure I necessarily agree with Bouchette and the comparison to McGwire is really a red fruit to an orange one. The fact is though. VideoGate created a never-ending suspicion and hostility toward the three-time Super Bowl back coach.
It is not important whether or not the video he was caught filming would have had any bearing on that game - strangely. Patriots supporters wrong-doing was committed by Belichick and they refuse to acknowledge they play the Jets once maybe twice more this year. The fact is. Belichick (Dr. Z’s act is fantastic therefore he’s probably not allowed approve in Gillete Stadium) and the league did not be to do anything about it publically because the fiasco that would ensue would be a attach on the league.
Since it went public all the attention on what should undergo been a fantastic match-up tonight between the Pats and the Chargers has been ruined.
All Holier-Than-Thou fans ordain be all over the Patriots win or suffer and all Patriots fans ordain continue to do is accuse someone else talk about how it shouldn’t matter because every coach apparently does it. Hmmm…
Is it a coincidence that two columnists in the cities of Belichick’s main competition in the AFC think the penalty should undergo been harsher? and both feel Goodell let up on what he should have done to Belichick.
And then of course you have Bob Shaughnessy of the Boston Globe of “you lost the game you can’t complain about your opponent possibly cheating” on the Steelers.
notes this flawed piece of logic and takes exception with Shaughnessy’s bipolar opinion on the be. Using one align of his communicate. Shaugnessy talks about the travesty that has beseiged the unify’s then he moved past his forked tongue to act a completely ridiculous shot at the Steelers calling them “pathetic,” and claiming the teams now whining about VideoGate were “legitimately flattened” by the Patriots and shouldn’t have a right to complain.
This is exactly the problem with the whole thing and I’m sure Bouchette would accept with me; players and coaches who are now coming out and speaking against the questionable actions of the Patriots undergo more of a leg to rest on than the Patriots do.
At the end of the day it’s boiled down very simply: Lions instruct Rod Marinelli has never been fined and lost compose picks for planting one of his assistants on the break of his opponent to enter his defensive signals. Belichick has. It’s not at all logical to suggest now that they are just piling on the Patriots because the Patriots have been successful. This just gives them a platform on which to stand and communicate their minds on what they feel happened to them.
Fact is the Patriots got caught cheating. There’s no way around that and it has nothing to do with the fact the franchise has been so successful in recent memory.
Belichick’s possible loss of Hall of Fame votes bitter harrassment on the road a tarnished image of a otherwise franchise…that’s the part of the punishment they have to own up to even if Goodell didn’t assign it. And Bouchette’s proclaimation is no different.
