RockRaines Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 QUOTE(redandwhite @ Jan 22, 2007 -> 04:05 PM) It made me proud to live in Chicago Are you really? I mean, 2004 World Series Champs in your avatar, BC in your sig, on a white sox board constantly talking about Boston area teams? Im just sayin...... Manning did say that the patriots were classy and i saw bruschi go up to him and talk to him, with Peyton getting visibly emotional afterwards. I know Manning said something about the offensive coordinator (i think) and the Patriots owner or GM coming up to him, I cant recall anything about Bellichick. Of course his interview after the game was typical mumbles and grumbles, but he DID lose the game and he has somewhat of a right to be upset especially with how competitive he is. I dont fault him for that at all. In fact I napped through most of that game, it, nor the players in it really concerned me, especially the losing team. If the Bears were golfing against them in a scramble next week, maybe I would be concerned, but they are done and we are in the Super Bowl.

redandwhite Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Good post. I'm glad some Bears fans think the way you think as opposed to being concerned with something that has nothing to do with them nor should be made into a big deal at all.

greasywheels121 Posted January 22, 2007 Author Share Posted January 22, 2007 FWIW, they did mention Belichick on Mike and Mike this morning. And it seems it's been a topic of all the afternoon shows on ESPN so far. I haven't seen an episode of SC since the Colts game ended, so I don't know what they're making of it.

Yea, ESPN has made it a topic on all of the afternoon shows thus far. The Around the Horn gang dismissed it, I wonder what the PTI group will say, not that I really care, it'll just workout like that as i'm getting ready to go to the srsc.

Soxbadger Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Instead of saying "some bears fans" either point out if your talking about me or not. Because Ill be glad to explain why I posted, and Ill be glad if you are to afraid to call me out directly to go on my merry way. And your right, I dont care about Belicheck or his b**** antics. I do care about the quality of posts on this board. So if I see something that I think I saw differently, then I am going to point it out, and I am going to give my opinion.

I dont know how we could be grumpy at all. I mean maybe the hangover from drinking too much when our team actually won the chance to play in the superbowl, maybe not blowing a lead and folding on the last drive. but who knows?

I really don't have a problem with Belichick. The guy just wins, sometimes with teams that are banged up all over the place. He falls into the Barry Bonds category for me (disregarding the steroid stuff); even if he is a major ass, he helps your team win games, and honestly, that's what they're paid to do. But -- I don't know how you could watch that video (I saw it live and thought the same thing as I'm saying now) and think that Belichick was very friendly to Peyton there. I also heard the interview with Manning after the game, and while Belichick was mentioned, he was one of the last ones mentioned, in an almost 'might-as-well-put-him-in-there' type of manner. I don't believe for a second that Manning puts a guy like Teddy Bruschi and Belichick on the same 'respect' level. I also hate reading into quotes, even though I sort of hinted at that above. I'm just saying that Belichick could have been a little more 'cordial' to Manning immediately after the game on the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never liked him much as a Bulls rival, but I always respected his game and he's obviously a great person. And btw....this sucks. I have nothing against the state of Indiana, the Colts, Tony Dungy, former NIU OT Ryan Diem, former Illini Aaron Moorehead and Kelvin Hayden, I'm a big Dwight Freeney, Bob Sanders, and Joseph Addai fan, and now that he won the big one....Peyton Manning. I really can't build up hate for this game, as the Colts team is one of the classier ones in sports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knightni Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Being near the South Bend area, it's divided 50/50 fan-wise Bears and Colts. We see both games every Sunday. It's rough that they have to play each other. PS - go bears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory Pratt Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 On Inside the NFL, Costas was talking about how Belichick should be more gracious and criticized him for blowing past Manning. It's the kind of thing that makes me roll my eyes. He shook his hand and patted him on the chest. Should he have given him a little kiss on his abnormally large forehead, too? Read an article today arguing that the Patriots owe Brady real receivers next year. Can't say I disagree. Reche Caldwell, ha. -- Outside of that, I must say I'm thrilled about the Bears-Colts game. I hope the Bears rip the Colts apart. I just hope Lovie and Turner have a better gameplan than Herm Edwards did. Obviously, the Bears must run the ball, and I think we saw the Colts D come back to Earth. But they've got to mix it up well, pass and run and stuff, or else we'll wind up like the Chiefs.

Gregory Pratt Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Looks to me like he shook off-camera. Manning's back covers a lot. But I see his hand coming in and Manning's is in, and then he pulls out and pats him on the stomach. Maybe that's a faulty interpretation, although I must say, even if Belichick didn't shake his hand, I don't care. Everyone gets caught up at times, and I think he's entitled a little prickliness. I think everyone is, really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
