Oh no doubt. But a simple "I'd like to congratulate Tony and the Colts and I hope they represent our conference well" - that too much to ask? You can even mutter "those f*cking pricks" under your breath as you walk away if you want. I wasn't asking for nice and smiley. Just a modicum of class.
Yep...we knew that was coming. This team hasn't had a call go against them in a big game since I don't know when, and they're just shocked. I guess the check wasn't big enough this week.
And yes, Simon, you had to see the postgame interview on CBS. he WAS a dick. Just like when he couldn't even LOOK at Manning after the game.
Maybe he said some variation on that twice. Not ten times. Whatever, I've been waiting a long time to see him do the losing coach interview.
Anyway, like one of you said, at least he stuck around, unlike Brady.
Nice classy postgame comments from Belichick. "I don't know, I think both teams fought pretty hard" was as close as he could come to congratulating the Colts.
You watch. Pats fans will be all over the PI in the end zone as the reason why they lost. After years and years of having it just given to 'em. I think it's poetic. And the fact is they CHOKED. They had an 18-point lead with 31 minutes to play and gave up 35 points after that. And for Brady to throw that game-ending pick...well. It doth warm my heart.
I couldn't be happier if it was the Bills who beat them. Seriously.
Well...almost.
