Cimini is a retard EDIT From SI (Peter King): Most told me I was loony to have Rhodes ranked in the 20s and Bills tackle Jason Peters in the 30s. I believe Rhodes comes closest to Ed Reed (12), the best impact safety in the game, and I believe Peters, a converted tight end, will be an All-Pro within two years. So I wouldn't move them down even if Bill Belichick called and said, "Neither of those guys could make my team."
i belive, they turned Meriweather into a CB. And Harrison just got 4-Games suspension for substance abuse. So i guess Belichick would cut of his littly finger to have Rhodes in a ugly green uniform right now.
Glad to see that Rhodes laughed it off. I'm surprised that BB had to stoop that low... he must be worried
Very un-Belichick there..Why would he say that? The press should hound him and make him elaborate on that comment and we can watch him squirm a bit.
I don't know about this one.. This had to of been taken out of context or something.. There is no reason, and someone who is so tight lipped like Beli would say something like that.. Not buying it..
That was a silly statement by Bill. its not like him to try and get under opposing players skin days before a game. Hopefuly thats the first of many slipups he makes this year. :gpc:
i just read this over on the DN site...i couldnt believe that! BB would give his left nut for a player as solid as rhodes to play in his DB. i guess its never too late to say something dumb...i guess after last season you shouldnt expect any kind of class from BB anyways...hes shown what a scumbag he is already.
I have to agree. Maybe he was being sarcastic? I'm sure Belichick recognizes Rhodes as a good player, I mean if the Patsies could take any player from our roster I'm almost positive it would be Rhodes.
Maybe he was just so pissed at Rodney that he said it to motivate his group of safeties. That seems just as likely. Anyway, who cares what some unibomber looking coach has to say............ It is not like they are preparing his bust at Canton............... lol well scratch that last part.
Im sure he will go with the "I was being sarcastic" routine and have to admit to being pretty shocked reading that. That is not typical BB who has done a very good job hiding the fact that he is borderline straight jacket material Even the best eventually start to show their true colors and in Bills case, he has been slipping up more lately..which would lead most to increasing the medication. Too bad he is very stubborn.
It makes no sense..Remeber that Mangini last year talked up how he and BEllichek were hight on Rhodes, seeignt he potential to hav ehim play a hybrid DB - a safety that has the potential to play big receivers one on one.
I think Bellichick just wanted to change things up in 2007. Now he signs big name free agents, insults other teams players, hey, even he got bored with his normal routine.
:rofl: I mean seriously..lets call a spade a spade...he is a great great great coach. Hes also nuts. Nuts not like most NFL coaches are football nuts. BB has some serious issues...you can name around 15 things he has done during his time in the NFL that mind students would have a field day with. The one that sticks in my mind is the "make believe only in his head" war he tried to develop with Herm when he refused to talk to him at midfield following a WIN HE HAD OVER US. Herm Edwards of all people. Call Herm what you want (God knows I have) but trashing other teams will never be one of them..yet BB made up this whole thing in his mind that Herm wasnt respecting the Pats or him. Hes a quack. A fantastic coach who got his lucky break with Brady...if it walks like a duck...and talk likes a duck...it quacks.
I'm looking through the si issue now and cant find that quote BB made on Rhodes anywhere. Does someone have a page number to reference it to?
