Bill Belichick, head coach of the New England Patriots, is notorious for his dry, fact-filled, yet information-less press conferences. I got to thinking today, what would “BB” sound like if he was answering the kinds of questions that, say, a political candidate might get.

I’m just speechless watching this thing:

Yup. The Bruins finally won the Stanley Cup again.

I remember the 1970 and 1972 series. Orr, Esposito, Cheevers, “Pie” McKenzie, Bucyk, Sanderson, Hodge. Great team. Great memories.

This was a tougher road for a younger team. Tim Thomas in goal was just astounding. I’ve watched some of the greatest goalies over the years, but what he did was amazing.

What brought on this bout of Photoshoppery wasn’t just the dirty play of the Vancouver Canucks, but more so the moronic rioting and looting perpetrated by their fans after they lost Game 7. They tore the place up. Now, coming from Boston, we’ve had our share of heart-breakers (pronounced “Haht-Breakiz”), but we never went on a rampage because one of our teams lost. That’s stupid.

Anyway, I felt such idiocy deserved some attention, so …

This was the year.

This was the year the Jets (or maybe Dolphins) would take back the AFC-East from the New England Patriots.

The Pats were rebuilding.

They had rookies at tight end. Moss was getting up there in years and you just needed to double-cover him to erase him from the game. Welker was coming off major knee surgery and couldn’t possibly be one-hundred percent. Brady looked less than sharp the season before.

They had the youngest defense in the league and couldn’t get off the field on third down, much less rush the passer. They cut ties with their malcontent “stud” linebacker, Adalius Thomas.

The team couldn’t win on the road or finish games last year due largely to many of the elder team leaders no longer being with the organization, the Patriots were now seen as “soft.” Belichick didn’t hire a defensive coordinator, he would do that job and be head coach. And the same offensive coordinator who…

The Patriots-Colts game yesterday was another classic match-up. But with a new, yet familiar, twist. Interceptions. Time was Belichick’s defense really got to Manning and he’d throw interceptions. The last few years the Pats were in “shoot-out” mode. Well, yesterday the Pats defense rose up (from a shockingly horrid fourth quarter performance) and won the game with an awesome looking interception by James Sanders. But that was the third INT for the game. It’s been a while since that happened.
