What? There are 2 sides to the story?

Ok, this is almost the funniest story I have seen about the NFL in a while. Just a few quotes that made me smile.

Astounding allegations: Bill Belichick did something friendly by MJD

“What's astounding is the notion that Bill Belichick would do anything out of friendship, or really, out of any motivation other than winning.”

“1) The 'This was an honest trade' side. Bill Belichick would never do anything to hurt his own cause, Cassel still had a lot to prove as a quarterback and the Patriots desperately didn't want to be on the hook to Cassel for $14 million this season, especially if they believe

Tom Brady will be healthy.
2) The 'Oh, this trade is stinky' side. There's Belichick's reputation as a man who, shall we say, is willing to bend the occasional rule, The Belichick/Pioli relationship, the reports that the Bucs were willing to go as high as a first-and-a-third rounder and not only did Kansas City get Cassel cheap, but the Patriots threw in Mike Vrabel as well.”

“He'd cheat in a game of Connect Four against a poor orphan child.”Personally I’m with the writer about having a hard time believing that Belichick did something as a favor to someone he calls a friend. I’m willing to believe that blackmail is a much better possibility. If I was the kind to bet money, mine would be put down on the "blackmail behind trade to Kansas City" line.
