Brian Basset of thejetsblog.com hates Belichek but thinks Mangini deserves the treatment - sort of.

Belicheck is acting like a child who didn’t get his way and is being a smug, arrogant bastard but... Mangini is BY NO MEANS an a victim or even an innocent bystander here.

I don't agree with Brian on this one. Sometimes the best job available is one against a rival. I'm not saying that Bellichek has to be thrilled but he doensn't have to act like Mangini committed a violent crime.

What does everyone else think?

Bill is just trying to do some jedi mind tricks with his young pupil. It may seem like bad sportsmanship but I look at it as just head games.

All Eric Mangini did was take a job with a division rival as head coach. Belicheck left the Jets to coach the Patriots. So, I think Belichek is reaping what he has sown.

Do you think this feud has anything to do with Belichek siggning Vinitari?

Because I sure can't think of any other reason to hire the guy and carry him as the 3rd QB. Belichek trying to keep Vinitari from Mangini, considering what he did for the Jets last season?

I believe you mean Vinnie Testaverde. I was wondering why he hired that stiff myself. He is useless even as a 3rd string QB

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw they signed Vinnie. If the Patriots ever need him in a game that counts, they're in huge trouble. Pat Leahy is available I think if they need a kicker.

Yea, don't I feel stupid, I work nights, and haven't slept yet, the two names merged in my mind. Promise I'll try harder next time.
