The only thing I dislike about his coaching was his running up the score during a few games this season and not taking out Brady in the 4th quarter of games that were beyond reach. IMHO, It's just not worth the risk...especially with teams that were weak and when they had 3 touchdowns on them.
So you personally know Bill Belichick? I'm only half trying to sound like a wise-ass, but you do realize it's not his job to be the media's friend, right? If you've ever heard his interviews on WEEI sports radio, he's actually very personable with those guys. They don't ask him stupid f'n questions like "why does Randy Moss catch a lot of 1st down receptions." They ask respectful, intelligent questions, and they get the same returned in his answers. Those beat writers at the press conferences are complete retards, and if I were a coach I'd be chewing them out like Parcells used to.
As far as running up the score, you're a little off there too. In the games where they "ran up the score," Brady's last drives of the game started in the 3rd quater, and went into the 4th. They're not going to take him out mid-drive. AND, that early in the season, they need to work on certain plays and execution, so they're going to run plays to help improve the team, even if they're up by 30.
