Belichick was asked Wednesday if the team knew the full extent of Floyd's situation; body cam footage showed Floyd passed out behind the wheel of his SUV at a traffic light and police knocking on the window to try to wake him.

“Yeah, we were aware of his situation when we claimed him,” the coach replied.

On Thursday, however, after news broke that Floyd had a BAC of .217, according to a police report, Belichick said he was unaware that Floyd's BAC was nearly three times the legal limit for Arizona.

“No, not if it was just released,” said Belichick, who wouldn't further comment.

Under Arizona law, Floyd's BAC is considered a "Super Extreme DUI," which means he faces a mandatory sentence of 45 days in jail.



I wasn't saying he was unaware of the situation, but he was unaware of the severity (or says he was) or perhaps just didn't care which is worse. It seems to me those may have been good things to ask Mr. Floyd regardless of when they were released to the public. They could have talked to the Cardinals as well who seemed to have enough to release him much like the Pats did the murderer.

*shrug* you are ok with it. I'm sure most Pats fans are. But back to how other teams and their players have no integity.

Bill even gives you a hint: "not if it was just released".


I'll let you in on a little secret: Beilichick won't give out any information that isn't fully vetted by himself personally. His Wednesday answer was 100% accurate, and his Thursday response was even more so.
You're just trying to muddy the water in order to make a point of some sort.

Apparantly Bill only knew what was publicly released and when it was publicly released. He knows no more about his player than you or I. Which completely supports what I said. He was not aware of the severity or claims he was. Neither of us knows if what he is saying is 100% (or higher) accurate because we don't know if he had more information than publicly available. It is accurate in terms of what was publicly available. I don't really care and that was never my point if you actually read what I wrote.

I'll take him at his word. he got no info from his player or the Cards and did no vetting whatsoever in their rush to sign a wr at all cost with no regard to integrity.

Keep it simple though. Floyd passes out driving. Blows an ungodly bac. Gets released by his team because of the deed and being publicly chastised for being unrepentant then the Pats signed him a few days later only having publicly available information with no vetting at all and I'm sure are shocked that gambling (or murder) is going on in their club.

Got it. On to other teams lack of integrity.

Fully vetted himself? Public got the extra information on Thursday, those that have the ability to get the information had it before then. Belichick plays a I know what you know mentality when he should know a lot more then the general public. I am not saying there is anything wrong with him giving the media the bare minimum but come one with the Belichick is God routine. He knew Hernandez was implicated in a shooting while at Florida that was pretty serious. He knew where that could lead and chose talent over character. He knew Floyd could have killed someone in that vehicle and is probably going to be suspended but he chose talent over character. It is what it is but he is not this person that is blindsided by these situations and then handles them the best he could have. Some are consequences from his willingness to look the other way on character when a player has superior talent.

I don't hate the pats. Never have. And I don't think they are better or worse than most teams on this sort of thing.

It's just that their fans act so pious and it amused me.

I'm easily amused though.

Pious.
You keep saying that word. I don't think it means what you think it means.
