Julian Edelman's Great Reaction to Bill Belichick Destroying a Reporter | The Rich Eisen Show

[@DestroyNations]

Crazy how I knew he was going to say “we prefer to win.” Belichick has installed this type of thinking into all of us 😂

[@Mistrinho7]

If you needed Bill Belichick to know that it is not important by how much you win, but that you JUST WIN - then you are waaaaaay behing everything. Just win. Sports or real life. Just win. Just succeed. Accomplish.

[@greatriffishere]

It's just very simple and logical thinking that Belichick uses that seems to befuddle the reporters.

The more I watch of BB press conferences, the more I appreciate why he is the way he is during them. 90% of the questions are general, unintelligent, dumb questions just meant to fetch a particular type of response. "Do you prefer to play a low scoring game?" It's a fucking terrible question that comes from someone who doesn't know seem like they know anything.

[@lpr5269]

I remember a question to Bill about playing against Manning. The guy asked him "What things in common have you experienced playing against Manning?" Bill says "I guess, Manning." As if Bill is going to go over his entire playbook on how to beat Peyton Manning there at the press conference.

[@VanquishedAgain]

Exactly. They aren't looking for information or answers

[@tunasalad6692]

As lifelong Pats fans, my Dad and I would be watching a presser like this and as soon as we heard a long, dumbass question to BB, we'd look at eachother and go "uh oh" kinda half grinning. Then when the inevitable dismantling of a human being happens, we just die laughing. Beauty. Never change Bill!

[@MarkBoyd]

I make a point to watch Bill Belichick press conferences every single chance I can. He ALWAYS rewards intelligent questions with amazing answers...and he treats dumb questions with the totally glib answers they deserve. To wit...Belichick: "Uhhh...what are you talking about." This is basically Belichick giving this young reporter a chance to change the subject so as to not humiliate himself. Egoist reporter then falls into the trap of reiterating his ridiculous question...is this "low scoring style a style you like and that the team prefers?" Just like DestroyNations in the comments here...I KNEW what the answer would be. "We prefer to win." I love it. I'm not even a Patriots fan, but I hope Belichick coaches for another hundred years. To hear him destroy poor journalists who didn't do their homework is just magic...they babble with dozens of words on unintelligent questions and Belichick only needs a half dozen words or less to shut them down.

[@jaewok5G]

it's like asking "are you SURE that's what you wanted to say?"

[@ashvink]

Same. So awesome to watch his press conferences. The only thing to look forward to in a Patriots loss is Belichick's press conference hahah. As such he is super frustrated and all these poor journalists like school children ponder if they can ask their question knowing the headmaster is ready waiting with a whip. Hahaha

[@muttframpton7708]

Think the one that will always stick in my mind is "We're on to Cincinnati" after repeated questions as to 'Is Tom Brady done??'. The reporter was given the answer of a 'Seriously..??' Bill shake of the head, followed by the Bill incredulous look of 'man give it up..!', So in those immortal words, "We're on to 2019/20..!!"

[@mikes3827]

@Mark Boyd Well said. Believe it or not, Belichick has caught a lot of flack from Boston-area reporters and media on his demeanor over the years, but what a "coincidence" that as the Pats win another Superbowl, those critics slowly become silenced lol. Can Bill be VERY surly after a Pats loss? Of course. But, Belichick has never had a "rah-rah" personality like Pete Carroll after a loss, so that's how he's always been. The thing I've come to appreciate with Belichick is his style has never changed since he got to Foxboro. I'm sure Bill would rather go to a dentist to have a tooth pulled vs. doing press conferences, but so long as a reporter asks a good, common sense question, Bill will be respectful. BUT, ask a stupid question like this guy did, and Bill will ALWAYS react like he just did: not suffering fools.

[@nwbklr]

That SB drop hurts the image but Welker still had the slightly better hands over his career. Just look at the guys records. Led the league in receptions 4 or 5x. Him and Edelman were pretty interchangeable imo. It’s easy to say Edelman is better because he’s still playing and everything he does and has done are fresh in our minds. Fans have short memories when it comes to great players. That being said Edelman still has years to surpass him.

[@smaller_cathedrals]

Apart from statistics, Edelman has more endearing charisma. Some comment said he looked like an actor who turned football player.

[@rudythompson7377]

Wes Welker also had better receivers around him, so he was far more likely to get open further down the field. Besides Gronk and Edelman name another NE offensive player that had a 1000 yard season off the top of your head. With as many players as New England rotates in every game Edelman's stats are pretty damn amazing. Welker's hands were trash during the playoffs and Super bowl clutch drives. I'll take Edelman over Welker any day.

Then both Rams and them share a new stadium in 2020 and "forever" after. If they had played the Patriots IN Los Angeles this season, I bet there would have been more NE fans than Charger fans.

[@douggriggs1499]

Their final home game is Week 17, Dec 31st, versus ..... the Raiders!!! Because Chargers have come out of woodwork and are playing well somehow, that might be for a playoff spot. If it had been in LA early in season when the "Bolts" started 0 and 4, there DEFINITELY would have been more Raider fans there ....

[@tenzinlee6393]

If Belichick had answered that question: "We're comfortable playing any way that results in wins. We manage the clock, control the ball, and minimize our opponent's chances. For the last few games, the outcome has been scoring under 30 points. But we sure wouldn't mind scoring more." No one would be saying it was a dumb question.

[@smaller_cathedrals]

Yes, it would still be, because half of your made up answer is a worthless answer. It's generic and unspecific. Literally anyone - coach or player - from any team could always say, ""We're comfortable playing any way that results in wins. We manage the clock, control the ball, and minimize our opponent's chances." Belichick doesn't do that kind of pointless replies. The question was pointless and BB avoided wasting time giving a pointless answer.

[@tenzinlee6393]

@@smaller_cathedrals Maybe it would still be a dumb question. But no one would be saying it was. I still think he was getting at something that could have been interesting if BB wasn't just being surly. They were playing low-scoring games and it makes sense to ask the coach about that. It's not an interviewer's job to be insightful or interesting. They are there to get the athlete/coach talking.

[@MikeJones-rk1un]

I have many better questions I would like to ask BB if I only could. Does the team run certain plays simply in order to draw out their opponent in the first half, not necessarily trying their best to score? Who analyzes those play results and how much before halftime do they agree on adjustments that must be put in place during the halftime break? These things are obviously going on but we don't know the answer because reporters are dumb.

[@johncronin9540]

Mike M I can tell you one thing. They don’t wait until halftime to make adjustments. They do it as needed with the game in progress.

[@jerkyturkey007]

Good teams make halftime adjustments, great teams make adjustments on the fly, the Patriots are the latter. I think a question like that would be a mistake, it would just piss him off.

[@leemzgoogle917]

5 years later......look at Belichick NOW (October 9, 2023). His team has just been blown out in back-to-back losses to the tune of 72-3 including a blowout 34-0 loss at HOME. It's over for Bill. He's lost it and it's time for him to move along. It's fine to be a smug a-hole when you're fresh off a Super Bowl win and you have The GOAT at QB. It's quite something else altogether when your entire team is a steaming pile of excrement. Oh, and I'm not a "hater" or even a Jets fan. I'm a PATRIOTS FAN since 1971.
