Bill Belichick Hates Meteorologist

You can add Meteorologist to the list of things that Bill Belichick doesn’t like. During his Friday press conference before facing Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos in Foxborough, Belichick was asked if he ever looks at the forecast for a game and adjust his game plan accordingly.

When you play in New England, you have to be ready for everything. I’d say based on the forecasts we’ve gotten so far this year, none of them have been even very close to what game conditions were. There was 100 percent chance of rain last week and the only water I saw was on the Gatorade table. You know, it is what it is. You know as well as I do, it could start one way and change during the game. we have to be ready for whatever it is, but my experience of going with the forecast in this area two days before the game, I mean I’d bet a lot that they’re wrong, just based on history because they’re almost always wrong. An hour before the game, maybe. You might have something to work with there. I think [if] you start game planning for what the weather is going to be and you game plan wrong, you’ve wasted a lot of time.

Just to be clear, Belichick is not being critical of meteorologist.

Look, I’m not saying I could do it better than them, I’m just saying they’re wrong a lot. That’s a fact. They’re wrong a lot. We all make mistakes. I’m not being critical of them, I’m just saying I don’t think you can go based on that.

I’m starting to dig the whole long sleeve dress button down under the short sleeve windbreaker.
