Quote “I played for Belichick one time in a Pro Bowl,” Manning explained to Simmons and Eli, “and they were telling stories about the times he was the head coach of the Pro Bowl. One time he picked Peter Boulware because he knew Art Modell would have to pay Boulware a $1 million bonus if Boulware made the Pro Bowl. Belichick hated Modell. This because Coach Hoodie (5-11) was fired by Modell before moving to Baltimore. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scuba guy Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 (edited) Well considering the whole rain of evil started with the afc championship game against the Steelers. Cheaters we are not stealing your signals We're not piping in music from a local radio station We're not keeping the headsets live in the qbs and def capt ears till the final second. We did not plug the locker room We did not deflate the football. There was another one there were doing to run a guy of the field at the last second. And of course our superbowl with the giants where Hoodia was the d coordinator. Let's fall down and say your injured, and then come back in Let's run a snow sweeper on the field to kick a field goal Edited December 16, 2022 by scuba guy Added 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrDawkinstein Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 (edited) If it wasnt for him coaching a bitter rival and all the bull#### stuff they pulled to "win", I'd love me some Belichick. He's a football mastermind, and his type of dry humor is right up my alley. More great stories about his sense of humor here: https://theathletic.com/2889665/2021/10/29/its-fun-at-gunpoint-the-comedy-stylings-of-bill-belichick/ Quote Ross Tucker, offensive lineman: He’s definitely an #######. And he’s definitely hilarious. Zoltan Mesko, punter: Like a legit comedian. Josh Miller, punter: Everyone in the locker room will tell you he’s one of the funniest dudes you’ll ever meet. Jed Weaver, tight end: Onterrio Smith … got caught with the Whizzinator in his bag. He was the running back from Minnesota. But Bill is reading the article: “It says here that he didn’t know he had a fake d!ck in his bag because one of his friends put it in there before he got on the plane. So all you ufcking a$$holes, when you’re coming back for training camp, make sure you check your bag before you get on your plane. Make sure none of your buddies put a fake d!ck in your bag.” Quote Mesko: It was 2012, the year J.J. Watt was just swatting people’s passes. He had so many batted balls. We’re playing them and he’s like, “Alright, Zoltan, come over here after special teams.” I get in the defensive huddle. It’s 7-on-7 so there’s no linemen there. He’s like, “Here, take these two tennis rackets and I want you to hit Brady’s ball into the stands if you can. I don’t care.” So I’m jumping up and touching like 12 feet and swatting Brady like 10 yards when I could. Fletcher: It was really pissing Brady off. Mesko: Man, when I got him, Belichick was crying on the inside, like tears of joy. Brady would be like, “Zoltan, please don’t knock this one down.” Belichick was like, “No, no, I’m going to pay you 100 bucks every time you swat that ball.” Fletcher: It got to the point where Brady would pay $150 not to do it because Brady was getting so pissed. Mesko: And Belichick paid up after every practice. He came with the cash. Edited December 16, 2022 by DrDawkinstein 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

without a drought Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 Nice try Peyton, Boulware didn't have a pro bowl bonus in his contract in 1998. So he did pick him, but that wasn't the reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This because Coach Hoodie (5-11) was fired by Modell before moving to Baltimore. that's just dumb for Owner/GM to agree to a contract that gives a bonus for being picked for pro bowl roster. It should only be if you are voted in as a starter. Modell GM was dumb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell Art Modell to go to Hell and take Bill Bellyache with him....when the Browns moved to Baltimore. I still get a chuckle thinking about that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasternOHBillsFan Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 Before I moved here to Ohio, I felt sorry for Browns fans. After I moved here, I don't feel sorry for them at all... they are one of the most overrated fan bases in football... on Sundays they just don't rep their team like we do year after year.

thenorthremembers Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 My favorite Belichick savage moment is when he pretended to be a sub. 500 head coach after Brady left just to make Brady look better. 4D Chess baby. Always one step ahead of everyone else. That guy can go pound salt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
