Glenn, anyone with any intelligence, who is also a real fan of the
game, and who also might have a sense of humor instead of just
looking for reasons to personally dislike an opposing coach, would
be amused about the game within the game that BB plays with the
press. And here, I thought NY fans were thick skinned instead of
thin skinned whinners about how opposing coaches are seeking them
out to personally insult them. (Just kidding Glenn. Life's too
short to take any of this personally).

That's quite a different matter, Glenn, and I'm not sure has any
real relevance. Did you really expect him to change his spots just
for the sake of it over these years? If Rex has just as much
success and logevity with the Jets as BB has had with the Pats, do
you really expect Rex to change his schtick as well, just to keep
things fresh for the fans? C'mon, Glenn. Lighten up.

He is such a joy to read and listen to <sarcasm mode>. Really, why do
sports writers even bother him? When they have loquaciuos guys like
Herm Edwards, Rex Ryan and so many others that can give them what they
are looking for. They should just leave BB to his cave.

Honestly this is how I feel.
The reason you are a fan and why you even watch games is to be
entertained. the draft and all the little things written and said to
fans by the media and the CS is also done pure and simply for
entertainment value so it is fair to say that BB is in the
entertainment business as much as he is in the pro-football business.
I want to be entertained. This is basically also the reason I don't
care that Cromartie has 7 kids with 6 wives in 5 states. If it does
not interfere with what he does on Sundays 16 or more weeks a year, he
can have another 20 kids with 10 more wives in 2 countries, it really
doesn't matter to me what he does until it effects me personally and
what would effect me is if he doesn't entertain me on Sundays.
BB was entertaining at one time but now I don't see it. Maybe it is
from suffering with Mangini and having a loose cannon like Rex in the
fold, who knows but it is how I feel.

Glenn, I think your train of thought that lead you to believe that
it's somehow BB's job to 'entertain' you with his press conferences
is terribly flawed. Certainly, the NFL is in the entertainment
business. But does that mean that the commissioner should've told
jokes or sung a tune with every announcement? After all, that's the
natural extension of your logic.
The primary point of the NFL is the entertainment value of the
games. The fact that it's so entertaining and intriguing that it
stirs conversation, speculation, and curiosity that so many more
aspects of the enterprise can also be entertaining is the bonus
plan. The fact that the NFL can make a whole lot of money on these
ancillary benefits is also a bonus for everyone. But to conclude
that the owners, coaches, players, refs, and others owe it to you to
provide you with additional entertainment in addition to what they
do to put a great product on the field is quite a stretch, at best.
That's like saying that a director 'owes' it to you to do any more
than direct great films. Certainly, it's great when they provide
more. But to be a valid reason for complaint when they don't giver
it to you? Not so much, me thinks.
However, you're entitled to your expectations, and entitled to
complain when they're not met. IMO, I just don't think your reasons
have very much merit, is all.

How is this true? Its a coach's job to entertain us with his words? Is
it the player's job to do the same when they are being interviewed as
well?
The thing I want is a very serious football player that is ready to do
whatever it takes to win on Sunday. And then, with that, I'm
entertained. I'm entertained because of the rawness of the
competition, not because Chad ocho cinco does something funny after
catching a ball.

Personally, I think BB has Asperger's. Think about it. He has an obvious
discomfort in being around the media; his deadpan delivery when speaking; a
general lack of emotional expression; and his complete and total obsession
and perseverence with knowing everything there is to know about one thing.
That being said, I get a kick out of listening to BB talk to the media.
He's a master at stating the obvious.
You can almost hear him infer "Dumbass!" at the end of every sentence. Who
needs animation?

I don't think he has a discomfort around the media. I've seen him give
a pleasant interview many times. And sometimes when he's in the middle
of being cold at a press conference, someone will ask him something
about the history of the game and he goes on for 10 minutes with
excitement. I think he has a disdain for cliche questions more than
anything else.

Exactly, that's why I posted it! Didn't know I was going to set

That's fine, but I disagree. I think that BB has his pluses, and
has his minuses too. I know that it's heresy to say so in some
quarters, but I'll take that chance. My point is that while I think
BB is near genius at game planning, and at getting his players to
understand not only the game specific plan, but also the overall
team approach to football, I also think that after the first couple
of yeas at the Pats, and for whatever reason both the Pats drafts,
and their free agent signings (a la Thomas), have been mediocre, at
best. Moreover, I think the slide in the teams fortunes despite
always having very many draft picks, is evidence of that point.
Ray, I think the notion that as long as the team is winning, the
fans should keep their specific concerns and criticisms to
themselves is a bit silly. There might well be a very compelling
argument that I'm wrong here. But I've yet to see it.

But then the poor people who "only came here to feed their families"
will starve to death!
Why do you hate children????
Myths about the Arizona Law:
Police will ask people "for their papers" - wrong the law states that
after "lawful contact" (meaning they have been arrested or are
suspects of illegal activity) then the police have the option to view
their citizen status
Myth: All "illegals" in this country are Mexican. Wrong!! Our country
is full of illegals from hundreds of countries
Myth: This is unconstitutional!! Truth the US Constitution covers
American citizens and NOT illegal breaking laws entering our country.
Myth: Mothers will be grabbed away from their children! Truth: What
kind of mother would leave her child in the US? Only an abusive crack
whore would do that. A good mother will take the child back to their
home country.
Myth: We will have to pay $5 for an apple . Truth: If you pay someone
$5 an hour to pick 1000 apples per hour, the cost per apple is 5 cents
per apple. If you pay someone $20 per apple the cost raises just 4
cents per apple. Plus these legal apple pickers will pay taxes and not
clog emergency rooms!
Immigration Counters, a website that collects data on the cost of
illegal immigration to the United States, provides everything we need
to know. Cost of social services for illegal aliens since 1996: $397
billion. Cost of illegal aliens in public schools since 1996: $14
billion. Cost of incarcerations of illegal aliens since 2008: $24
billion.
Myth: Illegals are harmless friendly people looking to escape poverty.
Fact: Mexico is a nice country that has a LOWER unemployment rate than
the US (look it up)! There is no massive starvation in Mexico or other
countries that our illegals come from.
So why do illegals come here?? To exploit our social services and
"live off the largess" of tax paying Americans!

I forgot another HUGE myth:
The illegals are doing jobs that Americans won't do!
The position of garbage collector is obviously not a "fun" or "good"
job yet you don't see ads in the paper all time advertising for "trash
collectors".
Surely, this is not a job an "American won't do"???
The truth is that Americans WILL do any job at the right pay rate.
Illegals artificially lower wages, cheat on taxes and depress the US
job market. Legal Americans take jobs with benefits and stability.

Awwww, the ginormously fucktarded "$15 a pint for strawberries"
douche bag post!!!
Let's say you pay an illegal $5 per hour to pick 500 pints of
strawberries. That's 10 cents a pint.
Now pay a legal worker $20 per hour to pick 500 pints. That makes the
pint cost four cents more a pint!
Yet Cloud Drugger wants you to think that you are paying $15 a
pint????
Drugs are bad m'kay????
