Who says Bill Belichick is a boring quote?
As the Patriots coach walked off the MetLife Stadium field, he threw his arm around his son, Stephen, and added an exclamation mark to the Patriots’ 37-16 victory over the Jets.
“Thirty-seven points on the best defense in the league, s— my d—,” the Patriots coach said in celebration.
The remark just adds to the humiliating defeat the Patriots handed the Jets. The man in the hoodie doesn’t deliver gems like that to the press, but he clearly relished in beating the brash-talking Rex Ryan and the Jets.
“That tells you how big a game that was for both teams,” Ryan said Monday. “I don’t take offense to it. Quite honestly, I said the exact same thing to my son when we were walking off the field after we beat them in the playoffs about their offense being the No. 1 offense in the league. I’ve got no problem with that.
Ryan was asked if he thought Belichick knew about that previous conversation, which the Jets head coach then admitted never happened.
“Realistically, you know my son wasn’t at that playoff game, right?” Ryan said. “But it sounded like a hell of a story.
“It’s something I’ll bring up to him after we beat them in the playoffs again this year.”
Belichick was asked about the comment Monday morning on WFAN.
“Any conversations I had privately I’ll keep private,” he said.
Later, at his regular Monday news conference, Belichick said, “I don’t remember it that way. I don’t think we’re here to talk about that. If you want to talk about the game, great.”
