Belichick Accused of Making Ted Johnson Play With Concussion

firstdown · 02-02-2007, 03:23 PM

It will be interesting to see how much this guy sues the team for because we know that where this is going. I just have a hard time believing that Belichick would force a guy to play after the Teams trainer said not to. If he did I'm sure we will hear from other former Pat players as this unfolds. If he is successful in sueing it could really change how teams do things.

One more reason to despise Belichick.

Man, the more I read about Belichick, the more of an ass he is.

And while I think he's probably a great coach, I still wonder where he would be without Tom Brady. A guy in Joe Montana or Steve Young's class can make a coach (even a good one) look good.

I can’t agree more. If you ask me he’s overrated. I can’t wait to see what kind of coach he is with out his wonder boy QB Brady.
He sure didn’t help Cleveland much. But then again who has?

His daughter applied for an internship with me. I wonder if we'll select her this spring. That'd be interesting

Anyhow, as I understand BB said he made a mistake and apologized about it. Of course, that may be too little too late

At this point, rumor, innuendo, and hearsay does not equal fact

No kidding. I love the lynch mob mentality: Johnson said it, therefore it is a fact.

I'm not saying the guy doesn't have a gripe, but let's wake up: coaches pushing players to come back too soon from injuries (of all sorts) has been a problem since guys were drawing paychecks from teams like the Providence Steamroller and the Rock Island Independents.

I think people tend to look for a reason to hate Belichick because the Patriots have been the league's most consistant winner in an era where most teams are up and down like yo-yo's. Right now, he's the villian du jour. I'd just as soon wait until all the facts are on the table.

What, I loved the Rock Island Independents! But seriously, this whole thing is just another example of society and media manipulation.

The genius who sold them to Baltimore.

Basically, who can you not make that claim about. Take all the great players on a particular team and they all suck. He should also get some credit (if not all) for having and developing Brady.
take away Montana, Dwight Clark, Roger Craig, etc, Bill Walsh is ??????????? who?
