As a Patriot fan, this is why I love Belichick. Last year he puts the leading tackler (Spikes) on IR for missing/being late to team meetings...as they are going into the playoffs. Probably detrimental in the short term, but beneficial for the big picture.

Yeah, I could do without some of Belichick's crustiness/treatment of the media, but I respect the hell out of how he controls his team. He had the guts to bench Tom Brady when he was playing like garbage, and as you said, if you screw up, you pay a price. NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE. I am sick of people in sports/life feeling entitled just because of who they are.

I appreciate how Belichick sets runs his team and I wish there was more of it in Motown. Suh and Raiola are probably gone at the end of the season anyway, but Caldwell better get his act together with the rest of these guys and eliminate the clowns quickly.

I'm sick of it. Period.

Yeah, bad news today about Henry Melton. The way Terrell McClain and Tyrone Crawford have been playing lately, everything should OK at DT. And please bench Nick Hayden. He's terrible.

Also, bad news for Anthony Hitchens. Looks like he might not play.

That's good news for Dallas. He's a great contributor, when he's not getting suspended for doing stupid stuff.

I'll see you in 2 weeks then, Dallas.

And for once in my life I'll be a Cowboys fan. I do not at all condone dirty tactics, but I still hope Aaron Rodgers gets his smug clock cleaned legally. Dude is nothing but a cocky prick that talks smack, slides like a girl, and then whines for a flag when a guy runs past him while he's sliding.

Really can't stand dudes like that. If you are a QB, shut your mouth, realize you aren't a real football player and rake in your absurd amount of dough. No way you can be all cocky and mouthy when every rule in the game is made to protect you now days.

Tough break for a good kid.

I think this will be rock bottom for Suh, he will realize the error of his ways and finally starts playing clean
