Le notizie Nfl di oggi.
Belichick quits one day after getting Jets' job
(AP) - Bill Belichick quit Tuesday as coach of the New York Jets, one day
after being elevated to the job when Bill Parcells resigned. Belichick
insisted he is not burned out after 25 years in pro coaching, but he said
the uncertainty surrounding his place in the organization dictated his
decision.
Mitico Bill, ha rifiutato la designazione al trono !!!!! Questa frase: "I
just know what I need to do. I just don't feel I can do it right now." e'
una coltellata alle spalle di Purcell che rimaneva nello staff dirigenziale,
ma il buon Bill non si fida dei Jets del futuro.... Il presidente dei Jets
ha subito replicato: "There is no question that he is obligated to work for
the New York Jets as the head coach or not anywhere else in the National
Football League" --- tie' cosi' impari.....
Nessuno vuole andare ai Patriots
Broncos' Kubiak withdraws from running for Pats job
(AP) - Gary Kubiak, offensive coordinator of the Denver Broncos, withdrew

New England voleva Belichick, ma niente da fare, allora ha fatto girare la
voce di Kubiak, ma niente da fare.
Bella o brutta notizia ???

Il corispondente ISPA da Foxboro ha scovato oggi ben quattro articoli sul
"Boston Globe" riguardanti l'affaire Belichick, cosa alquanto insolita per
un coach di un'altra squadra. In nessuno di questi viene menzionato il nome
di Kubiak......
Vi riporto un pezzo di uno di questi articoli:
A parachute in New England
By Will McDonough, Globe Columnist, 1/5/2000
 I don't know anything for sure, except this entire charade is being
orchestrated to bring Bill Belichick to New England as the next head coach
of the Patriots. I don't know anything, but my instincts tell me that before
this week is out, there will be some kind of settlement, most likely put
together by NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue, that gets Belichick out of New
York and into New England.
Tagliabue was the peacemaker three years ago, when Bill Parcells left the
Patriots to go to the New York Jets. The Patriots said he couldn't do that
because he had a contract with them as head coach. Tagliabue ruled in their
favor, and worked out compensation - four draft choices - for New England to
release Parcells.
When Belichick stunned everyone, including Parcells, by quitting the Jets
yesterday, he created the same situation. He's under contract to the Jets as
head coach but wants to get to New England. The question now is, how much
does New England want to give up to get him?
Anche gli altri articoli sono della stesso tono, cioč che si sta ripetendo
la stessa situazione di 3 anni fa, a parti inverse. Anche Peter King su
CNNSI sostanzialmente crede che Belichick finirą ai Pats, e giunge
addirittura a non escludere a questo punto un ritorno di Parcells sulla
sideline dei Jets!!
L'unica cosa certa č che la telenovela Parcells-Kraft sembra veramente
infinita....

 voce di Kubiak, ma niente da fare.
questa, per una volta, e' una situazione di facile comprensione, anche se
apparentemente complessa.
I problemi sono due. E possono essere sintetizzati in due "cognomi" : Hess
(NYJ) e Kraft (NE).
Accettare la posizione di head coach col casino all'orizzonte dei Jets( fine
della dinastia Hess. E l'impegno di  Belichick era con Hess)
sarebbe stato folle.
Fidarsi di un deficiente traditore come Kraft ("Bob the rat", qui in
Connecticut), idem.
Gli sviluppi di questa situazione potrebbero rasentare il ridicolo. Non e'
impossibile, infatti,
che i Jets finiscano per riprendersi il "costo" dell'operazione Purcell (quasi
quasi ci scommetterei).
ciao,
alessandro
p.s. scusate la crudezza del linguaggio, ma dovreste sentire i commenti degli
analisti del Connecticut su questa
vicenda. Si respira aria di vendetta ;-)
