all you gotta do is go to allthingsbillbelichick.com to see the myriad of people who have good things to say about it. Haven’t we yet learned that people who appear to be nice may not be?

That was “Danny Most” I believe. Perhaps they are brothers. Their father is, of course, Johnny Most.

Didn’t Doug Most used to be that actor that played “Ralph Malph” on the show “Happy Days”??….he was the guy with the red hair.

I like Bill just fine. He has a very dry, understated sense of humor.

And seriously, the media *does* ask really stupid questions .

Besides you don’t see his children running drug rings or killing themselves like other “nice” coaches, do you.

I’d like to know who Mr. Most is. I don’t recall ever seeing is byline in the Sports pages of the Globe. My guess is he’s just another writer with an opinion with little value beyond filling up the pages of the Sunday Magazine.

Bill Belichick gives off the personna that he does because its much easier than to try and explain everything. How unfair a society we are to constantly “rip” someone because he doesnt make our lives (reporters) easier. I suggest that within his own circle, the coach is probably most affable. I also suggest he’s probably a great father. He’ll go down as one of the great coaches in history, and thats all we should expect. If he doesnt do his Parcells imitation at each press conference, looks like all the wags are gonna have to deal with it. I suggest that David Halberstams book “The Education of a Coach,” is much closer to the person he is. David Halberstam, rest in peace, has more credibility that virtually anyone else

Looks like many comments that I saw in the Pittsburgh media in the 70s and 80s about “Emperor” Chuck Noll. The more you win, if you are not a back slapper, the more they want to tear you down.

RE: “…all 4 of them laughed hystericly [sic] like it was the funniest thing they ever heard.”

Sports “reporters” do that all the time. See: The Show, Big.

I doubt BB cares what any of us say about him but I do know some people who say he is a great guy.

First off, Jimmy Brown loves the guy. I hope you know who he is. David Halberstam wrote a book about him because he was enamored with his friend. Mike Reiss respects him immensely. Scott Pioli has been offered much more money and more power to leave BB but hasn’t. Charlie Weiss and Romeo Crennel still speak highly of him. And you don’t know anyone who thinks he’s a quality guy?

Regarding him personally, one person who still likes and respects BB is his ex-wife. That says something. And you ever hear of his kids getting into trouble? From what I’ve heard, they’re pretty well adjusted people and BB has been an involved parent. And all those people unanimously say BB in private has a wicked sense of humor and IS a great guy.
