Bill Belichick Despises Coffee
Bill Belichick doesn’t like coffee he told a local radio show this week.
“Look, I mean I understand I am probably missing it, but I just don’t like coffee. I can’t stand the smell of coffee. I don’t like coffee ice cream and I like every sweet that has ever been made but that’s not one of them. I don’t like coffee flavored anything. I don’t know. I just don’t have the taste for it. I’ve tried, but just doesn’t work for me. My grandmother put a glass of milk and poured like probably a symbol of coffee and I couldn’t even drink that. It’s just one of those things I didn’t develop a taste for.
“Nothing against coffee. Nothing against Dunkin’ Donuts. Nothing against anything, it’s just not for me. I don’t have a taste for scotch either.”
Unfortunately he also just found out he’s the spokesman for Subway’s new Meat Lovers Cafe Mocha Sandwich
Brett Favre Sez The Eagles Shoulda Kept Foles Over Wentz
Brett Favre had this to say about the Eagles quarterback situation on ESPN:

And that was a little bit surprising. They’re obviously banking on his upside. How many more years do you let it linger before you stick with [Wentz] or cut bait? That’s a question they only can answer.”
Well, Brett, the Eagles are first in the NFC East so what do you have to say about that?
