Bill Belichick Not A Fan Of Extra Points

Those of us in the OSG HQ know that New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick is a man of few words. Mostly an icy glare.

Monday on his weekly radio show on WEEI in Boston Belichick shared his total dislike for the extra point.

You can listen by clicking on the link below. At 4:47 Belichick talks about "non-plays" and the extra point.

"Extra points, when the odds are in the 99 percent range, it is not a play." Belichick said. "Let's move the ball back to the 15-20 yard line and not make it a tap-in."

Does Belichick take back those comments should he win or lose a game by a point?

Cromartie hates Brady, we hate both the Jets and the Patriots

The only time you'll see Antonio Cromartie here/Courtesy: isportsweb.com

This is going to be a bit of an opinion piece/rant, so brace yourselves.

We don't really understand why it is "Oh my gawd!" "He didn't say that" story that New York Jets dumbass/cornerback Antonio Cromartie essentially cursed out Patriots QB Tom Brady. So what.

It's been proven time and time again that the Jets are a bunch of whiny bitch, blowhards, so Cromartie's statement shouldn't be shocking. And while we don't particularly care for the Patriots either, they at least have the class to not try and fire back.

Here's your latest story, from the New York Daily News RIGHT HERE

Couple this with Rex Ryan's idiotic statement about this weeks game being "Me vs. Bill Belichick and you've got all the makings of the battling blowhards. Note to Rex. Neither of you actually play. Your players do. They'll decide who wins and who doesn't.

Sure, we get why the Jets are doing this. Create a distraction, try and get under the Patriots skin and off their game. Do they really think that this will work? They must. Lord knows the New York media has been all over this. It's huge! Bigger than the snowstorm! After all, they consider themselves the center of the football universe.

We actually had enjoyed the "Hard Knocks" this summer that featured the Jets and at the time, enjoyed Rex Ryan. Now...we are tired of him. Really tired of him. He's a blowhard. And a cocky one at that. When  you win a Super Bowl, you can talk smack. You've got something to point back to. He's got nothing. A pretty decent team. But dude, you haven't done anything yet.

We get it. You back your team. Your ambitious. You want them to be successful. There's nothing wrong with that. All we are telling you is "SHUT UP". Just freakin' play!

As for Mr. Cromartie. Dude. You or your 8 kids...have nothing to be talking smack about. You've accomplished nothing. Your a thug. And worse, you have yet to discover that they sell condoms at the drug store.

Sadly, as much as we don't care for the Patriots or any other team from that part of the world, they've now been made to be a sympathetic group. As much as we don't and never have cared for them, at least we've respected them. They don't talk like this. They don't get into "Media" battles. They go out and play. And win. Usually.

As badly as we don't want them to win the Super Bowl this year....or any year. We just want them to beat the Jets. Mostly so we don't have to listen to Rex Ryan anymore...and hopefully Antonio Cromartie...ever again.

This is why Cromartie is a moron. Courtesy: Funny or Die.com

Belichick: I Thought We Could Get The Yard

((HT: NFL on NBC))

Here's the play that will light up Boston sports talk radio from now until the year 2017...
Al and Cris have the call...


Those of us at OSG HQ think The Hoodie has lost what's left of his mind...
Going for it on a 4th-and-2 at his own 28 with 2:00 left in a 6-point game...
Unless, of course, he thought his defense was gassed and couldn't stay with Manning and the Colts for more than a 30-yard field...

For the record, we timed Belichick's press conference...
At the 2:58 mark he had finally given two answers that were longer than four seconds in length to the questions asked by the assembled media...

We now point our collective finger at you... for a week...
We still readily admit that you're one of the, if not the, smartest coach in the league overall...

Vick to the Belichick's?

Yesterday, Michael Vick spoke of being "Close" to signing a deal to play football again. Today, the rumors are flying that the "Team" in question is the New England Patriots.

In his press conference today, the King of New England, Bill Belichick was asked directly about the possibility of taking in the formerly disgraced Quarterback.

The story from Boston.com here .

We also have the Belicheck on video: Courtesy// Boston.com and NESN:

Also coming out today, reports from a few outlets saying that Vick is likely to head west...to Seattle. The story from Yahoo Sports...here .

That, I don't buy. Having covered Vick and current Seahawks Head Coach Jim Mora for a few years with the Falcons, I don't buy this. While Mora is certainly not above taking on a charity case, trying to help someone who has fallen out of favor. Vick was a "Huge" letdown to Mora and his staff in Atlanta. He was never a "Team" guy and never put in the extra time needed to be successful.

We do think the Belichick story has some merit though. The Belichick has taken in Corey Dillon and Randy Moss and changed their lives/careers, so it can be done. As for those who say the owner, Robert Kraft's wife is a big animal rights advocate; what better way to prove that Vick is trying to redeem himself than have her in his corner.

Odds on this happening: Very Good

Gisele Gets Shopping Buddy For Season... Brady Out For Year

Michael Silver of Yahoo Sports is reporting that the injury to New England Patriots QB Tom Brady ((pictured, thanks Boston Globe/Jim Davis)) is season-ending. During the first quarter of his Week 1 game with Kansas City, Brady was rolled as Chiefs safety Bernard Pollard was lunging from ground-level. It appears that Brady's ACL in his left knee has decided that a vacation was necessary

Silver reports... ahem... quote...

"While New England coach Bill Belichick said in his postgame press conference that he had no update on the status of Brady’s injury, two sources indicated it involved serious damage to the knee.

“It’s bad,” a team source said. “We’re going to have to play without him.”

If confirmed, that leaves the Pats offense in the hands of back-up QB Matt Cassel. Notice those of us here at OSG HQ didn't precede the phrase with the word "capable."

To those of you who believe in that Karma thing with all the Belichick ((we'll go ahead and say it)) SHENANIGANS over the last few seasons with married women, videotapes, and his general daily demeanor...

You, sir, have been served...

Adam Schefter of the NFL Network reports that free agent QB Chris Simms will be reporting to Pats' offices on Monday and, pending a physical and a workout, could be in uniform by the end of the day.

Boston Globe coverage is in blue...
