Bill Belichick drops an awesome zinger at the NFL

The Patriots will be proposing four rule changes at the NFL annual meetings this week, including one to add more cameras to the field to provide more angles for instant replays. So far the only argument the league has made against it has been the associated costs, which is a fucking joke considering the league turns in a multi-billion dollar profit every year, somehow maintains tax-exempt status as a, get this, "non-profit organization", and paid it's commissioner $35.1 million in 2013.

In classic Belichick mode at this morning's coaches breakfast, a sarcastic coach took the league to task.

"The camera idea we've been talking about for years, but that's never been formally discussed by the membership...We just spent, whatever it was, how many millions of dollars on the replay system. I mean, there's a thousand cameras in every stadium, so that if somebody spills a beer on somebody, we have it on record, right? Maybe we could have a bake sale. Raise some money for the cameras. Do a car wash."

The best part of this line is imagining Goodell fuming but powerless to do anything about the seemingly innocuous comments. But make no mistake, shots fired. As Mark Cuban said yesterday, "they're getting hoggy".
