Mark, Pitt will not have a problem with Cleve this weekend. The Browns defense is pretty bad. This game will be won by your D stopping the clowns offense. Pitt 37, Cleve 17.

Cleveland will beat the Ravens the next time they play. The Ravens O......well it doesn't exist! It is horrible. If Pitt can put up that many points on the Ravens it would appear thier D is on the way down as well.

Are you calling Shula an irrelevant old coot?
I got no problem with them wanting to keep their record!

I do not think of Shula as irrelevant...Old coot? yes.

I think he is trying to throw stones at a team that probably is better than his undefeated team, and it is making him look like an insecure old "has been", when his record as a head coach should have him above that. Maybe he was just caught off gaurd, but he should simply state publicly that the Pats are a great team that may rival his '72 team, then go home and cheer for who ever is playing New England that week, behind closed doors.

And I don’t believe for a second that the dikhead doesn’t still have a library of tapes on all teams.. I realize that as signals change those tapes in the DIK-HEADs library will have a diminishing effect on the outcome of games, but he is still using them..


Cheatin piece of crap!!

You've got to be kidding me with these comments. For some reason I never read any of this thread until just now. Of course he has a library of tapes. From what I hear, he has one of the largest football libraries anywhere. But stop the cheatin whining. Until the first game of this year, everyone did it. And everyone admits they did it. Big name coaches. So he did it for part of the first quarter of the first game of the year and got caught. And is being penalized by the fine and losing a draft pick. And if you are attributing the success of one of the best coaches in history to the fact that he was stealing signs, then you are nuts.

Doesn't look like he was "just answering questions", seems like he added some unsolicited thoughts:


"Shula admires the Patriots' team, but then, without being asked, he said Spygate negatively impacts the way they should be perceived this season.

"The Spygate thing has diminished what they've accomplished. You would hate to have that attached to your accomplishments. They've got it," Shula told the Daily News yesterday. "Belichick was fined $500,000, the team was fined $250,00 and they lost a first-round draft choice. That tells you the seriousness or significance of what they found."

I may be a little “nuts” then!

But calling him “one of the best coaches in history” is like calling Tyson GREAT! Sure they have accomplished some amazing things, but in doing so have strayed waaaaay outside the lines of, accepted behavior and sportsmanship!!

What’s next for Belichick. Instead of not shaking hands, he’ll come over to the opposing coaches sideline and bite his ear off???
