If he's going to lose, Bill Belichick would rather be elsewhere
By MJD Sunday, Feb 3, 2008 11:12 pm EST On more than one occasion this year, Bill Belichick and the Patriots have run up the score on an overmatched opponent, and forced an opposing coach to sit there and watch his beaten team go through the motions while their heineys were being handed to them. But when the shoe's on the other foot, and Bill Belichick's team has been beaten, he can't sit there and take the pain for a few seconds. With :01 left on the clock, and his team just having failed on a last chance 4th down effort, Bill Belichick ran onto the field for a quick handshake, and then bolted for the locker room. Belichick's an important guy and everything, but I wasn't aware that the league had given him the authority to decide when games end. There's time left on the clock, his team's been humbled, outplayed, and lost their chance at history ... and Bill Belichick doesn't have the stomach to sit there and absorb the pain until the clock read 0:00. That's unsportsmanlike at best, disrespectful at least, and at worst, it makes him a big sissy. Because Bill Belichick wanted to go hide when he lost, the field ended up being flooded with people, and the officials had to clear the area before the Giants could take their final snap and make it official. When you lose, you take your loss. You don't leave early because it makes you feel sad inside. Your opponent deserves more respect than that. Anyone remember in 2004 when Randy Moss left the sidelines with two seconds left in a Vikings vs. Redskins game? Moss was selfish, a baby, a quitter, didn't respect his teammates, and didn't respect the game. Belichick just did the same thing, but did it on the biggest possible stage, and did it from the position of a leader of men. Maybe there's something to be said for the inability to lose well ... most great winners don't lose well, and a sore loser is still a loser. But still, if you're an adult, you finish out the game, and you give your opponents the stage and the respect they deserve.

at 11:25 AM, Monday February 4, 2008 EST The play clock DID run down to Zero. The refs put one second back on the clock. EVERYONE thought the game was over. Bill was hardly the only one on the field with that impression. Further, the game WAS over. One second left with just a downing of the ball to go? fft. Whateve.
Anyway. I think you mis-read Bill here. |

at 4:21 PM, Monday February 4, 2008 EST i have a solution for fair competition in kdice but i fear - no one will listen
how to make kdice more competitive instead of "score based" tables - we need a two level based table a free - qualification level --- level 1 and a closed - competition level ---- level 2 u can only join a competition level (2) if u won level (1) to open it for example: level 1 table (open for everyone but no points no scores) level 2 table (only open for players who won last level 1 or 2 game) as long as u not win, u keep playing level 1 and don´t get scores and don´t lose score after a victory u can play level 2 and get the chance to score but u go back to level 1 if u not win and ONLY WINNER GETS POINTS OR QUALIFY FOR COMPETITION - 2nd, 3rd, 4th places and flags are valueless and u get more points if u win couple of level 2 table games in a row: 1 point for winning level 2 1 time 7 points for winning level 2 2 times in a row 49 points for winning level 2 3 times in a row but as soon as u NOT BECOME 1st u bump back to level 1 this system would block pga...and even more the whole flagging shit but the current free and open system makes the whole ranks valueless but i fear again...noone listen... |
