BillsFan-4-Ever Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 I didn't see what the big deal was, the ref was running away from him and he grabbed his arm to get his attention. From all the talk you'd think he tackled the guy. Edit: Tweet from James Walker claims there's a fine looming for Belichek Coaches and Players were warned multiple times NOT to confront the Refs. He confronted the Ref. the suspension stuff is all for fun. well I would hope so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meathead Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 the standard has to be grabbing the ref no matter how lightly he did it. you dont want to have to be interpreting contact in that situation. grab of any kind = fine fifty k seems about right. has to be more than players twenty four k since the coach should know better so fair fine imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiggieScooby Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 I look forward to the regular ref's gifting us a much needed win in Buffalo. William Stephen "Bill" Belichick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLFan Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 I swallowed what uncle Roger asked me to swallow. Oh, I swallowed my Pride too. The big deal is that players and coaches are very specifically barred from ever touching an official, for any reason. It is the same in every sport. His reason does not matter. If it was a player, or probably if it was another coach, he would be sitting for at least 1 week and maybe more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belicheat Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Sorry, Belicheat - I quoted the wrong post. That's ok. I'm too full from the sea men Uncle Roger asked me to swallow to have noticed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Best Player Available Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Weak. He should be suspended. He undermined the authority of the league and that's all he got. Really? I Understand our dislike of the pats* but suspended? Laughable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 I hate Belichick as much as anyone, but I don't think he deserved to be suspended. The fine is appropriate though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 I can't stand Belicheat, but I really don't understand all the fuss about this. He touched the ref, you can't do that, so he will be fined. But it wasn't malicious or violent. Time to move on. This Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
