Ex-Dolphins star explains why Don Shula wasn't a big fan of Patriots coach Bill Belichick

[Burnt Reynolds]

I love this!

"He called Belichick, 'Beli-cheat,'" Anderson said. "He was straightforward. He was, 'This is how we have to do it, and these are the rules, and this is what we're going to follow.' He didn't like, I think, the people that didn't follow the rules, and he did."

Football used to be about honour - each side puts out their best and you play to see who is best and BB football is about how to circumvent the rules to win at any cost

There was only one Shula.

I'm genuinely curious whether the guys in the pile after a fumble would agree with that. Even in Shula's day.

Did you ever play football? Fighting for a loose ball is not about circumventing the rules

Im pretty sure some of the things going on in that pile are against the rules

 

[Dolph N.Fan]

Yeah Shula said that a few years ago. It will be a sad day when Belichick breaks his wins records.

I played team sports as a kid, including football. I ran track in college, but that was the highest level I played anything.

Honor means more than just not getting caught doing the wrong thing. Or so I was taught.

Anyway, my point was that I suspect the things that go on in the depths of those piles might be something less than honorable.
