To which Belichick replied:

“Whatever happens out there Sunday night,” Belichick said, “that will be when everybody will make their statement.”

He's right on the money yet again, just like he was last year when he called out Belichick for his classlessness rubbing off on his players.

I'm really down on LT. He's still acting like a sore loser. You'd think he'd get over it by now. Be concerned about your own shitty head coach instead of what the Patriots are doing.

LT was right about Belichick all along. Advantage of playing with a sixth sense?

Depending on how successful the Pats were at stealing signs, their championships could mean next to nothing. If they knew all along with the opponent was going to do, that is much more serious than Ben Johnson's roids to win the 100 meter dash.

Belly should keep his mouth shut on this, if he has been doing it a while and admits it, could get really bad.

We went around on this last year after the NE-SD playoff game. I still think LT was in his right to voice his opinion, albeit an emotionally charged one. No need for those antics after the game.

I've got the game on tape, and I plan to watch it tonight or tomorrow. Maybe I'll come back with some fresh commentary.

I had no problem with LT mouthing off after the game. Shows he's out to win and not just playing for the cash. Take Tiki Barber. Shaking hands and laughing seconds after his final game when they lost to the Eagles in the final seconds.

But acting like a sore loser a year later makes him look bad. Just go out and beat the Pats if you really are the better team. But with Norv at the helm.....good luck.

Seattle Slew,

I think you're making a valid point in general about players, but I'm not sure it totally applies in this case. The comments LT made after the game we both can agree on being made, that's certainly understandable. Now a year later he is questioned going into another match with this same football team, but this time after the spying incident breaks out.

I respect LT for calling a spade a spade, especially since he's not some media analyst just throwing the Pats under the bus, he's a player who has been saying this before it was popular to do so. It's arguable that he could have simply not commented on the matter, but not doing so doesn't cast him in a bad or disingenuous light in my opinion.

[Dark Horse]

LT made those comments jokingly. He was laughing while he said it. So if he was lighthearted about it, why shouldn't we?

Have recent events validated LT's earlier suspicions about Belichick? Of course they have.

The stupidest/funniest quote of last year:

"You all know I am a classy guy, right?"

[Seattle Slew]

NBC is sure loving this ahead of Sunday night's game. I'm sure LT's comments will be all over the pre-game, including flashbacks to the playoff game.
