Because the football world is all a-buzz over reports that Jets' coach Rex Ryan cried in a talk to his team last week, it was inevitable that someone would ask Patriots' coach Bill Belichick if he had ever teared up in front of his team.
"I've coached 35 years, so I've probably covered most bases," Belichick said. "I think I swore once, too."
Those who've been around here for a reasonable amount of time have seen two obviously emotional moments out of Belichick -- one in the post-game press conference after a game with the Saints on Nov. 20, 2005, a day after the passing of his father, Steve Belichick, and the other during his farewell remarks to Tedy Bruschi at the press conference announcing his retirement earlier this year.
But a full-out bawl? Not likely.
"I can't ever imagine Coach Belichick doing that in front of us," Tom Brady said. "He coaches us pretty hard. Every coach has a different style ... it's an emotional game, so I think we all put a lot into it every week. You try to convey a message, and our coach always conveys a message of the truth: 'This is how I feel, this is the truth and this is what we need to do.' I think we always find a way to respond to that."
