I won't post the whole article, but I was just reading it and as much as I hate him, he seems like a pretty intelligent guy. The last question was awesome though:

Cole: Jimmy Johnson once said, if you don’t take too many risks, you can win nine or 10 games a year.

Belichick: Jimmy probably said the same thing to you that he once said to me: “You’re really only competing with about 10 teams a year. If you just say out of the way, the other 20 teams will screw it up themselves. Whether it’s ownership or personnel or coaching or some combination of factors.” Ego, internal struggle, something will happen to two-thirds of the teams, that was Jimmy’s theory. That leaves you with about 10 teams that you’re going to have to really battle with. Those teams have it together. They’re going to make good decisions and if you play bad football, they’re going to take advantage of it. They’re going to find some undrafted guy or some middle-round pick or some veteran free agent who is going to spark their team. Pittsburgh is always going to be there. Indianapolis is always going to be there. They may not win it, but they’ll be there. You’re going to have to beat them. Philadelphia is going to be there. Yeah, [quarterback Donovan] McNabb might get hurt one year and they might go 7-9, but they’re going to be there. You’re still battling them on every front.

I love how Pittsburgh is the first team he mentions.

For how much I hate Bellichick, I smiled when I read that. It's a sign of respect.

Thats because he knows if the Steelers were playing him this year we would tear him a new one....

***tony hipchest*** · 11-06-2009, 11:49 PM

thats why he learned early in his career as a head coach, that the only way to beat the steelers is to cheat the steelers.

fug'hem.

iloveben7 · 11-07-2009, 12:00 AM

he mentioned us first because he had to cheat to beat us
I'd love so much to have a rematch of all the AFC Championship games we lost to the Pats and we'd come out on top this year

Exactly. He probably had that smirk on his face while he was saying it. He has no class. He was stupid in Cleveland and now he's a genius. What happened? He didn't know he could cheat and get away with it in Cleveland. I think he's still stupid. Kraft taught him how to cheat because he knew he could get Goodell to cover it up if they got caught.
So it all went away. Tom is great and Bellicheck is a genius. And we're all gonna live happier ever after. Sigh.
