Forget what we said about any of the other interviews this year. This one was the best, hands down. Some of the local media has finally had enough of Bill Belichick acting like they’re beneath him and started to (sort of) call him out for answering questions like a child. While there’s still the segment of the media who will forever worship the ground he walks on, there are guys…

Jermaine Wiggins – former Patriots, Vikings, Jets, Colts, Panthers and Jaguars tight end turned 98.5 The Sports Hub and then 93.7 WEEI radio personality – is getting to live that dream right now. This week, Wiggins’ son Jermaine Jr. – a senior…
Peter Joneleit/AP Photo Things had been far too nice during Bill Belichick’s weekly appearance on Ordway, Merloni and Fauria the past few weeks. With the Patriots’ winning games, the annoyed, wise-ass Bill was still lingering in the interviews but wasn’t omni present. That changed on Monday when the guys talked to the head coach for the first time since the embarrassing loss to the Rams. Answers were short, and the…
Another win, another less annoyed and pissy coach this week. Still, the guys got into some interesting stuff out of coach Belichick as the Patriots stay out on the west coast to prepare for their Thursday night game against the Rams. Ordway opened the segment asking Belichick what’s been different and what’s allowed guys in all three phases to play with much more confidence and contribute in big ways over…
With WEEI in the midst of its “Giving Tuesday” fundraiser to help “K” cancer on Tuesday, we decided to hold off on the recap of Bill Belichick’s weekly OMF appearance until today. Ordway, Merloni and Fauria had a much happier coach on Monday than they’ve gotten in recent weeks, but there was still a few of those awkward silence Bill moments that this interview is now known for, but it…
Troy Taormina-USA TODAY Sports Yikes. If the past few weeks were two of the best Bill Belichick interviews by Ordway, Merloni and Fauria, then this one easily wins the award for most awkward. Belichick was not in a chatty mood as you’d expect after the 27-20 loss in Houston, so, credit to the guys for not backing down, but pissy Bill can make interviews quite cringeworthy. Right from the jump…
Jim Davis/Boston Globe Well, well, well, we have a winning streak. Ok, it’s not a big winning streak, but according to “Major League” Lou Brown once said two games is a winning streak, so we’ll take it. Here’s another week of what stood out to us from BB’s weekly interview with Ordway, Merloni and Fauria: Ordway opened up the interview asking Belichick how important it was for the Patriots to…
POOL/Getty Another week, another loss for the Patriots and head coach Bill Belichick. This is a tough place to play and coach in when you’re winning, but when you’re 2-5 after being yearly Super Bowl contenders for the last 20 years, the sky is obviously falling and everyone deserves to be cut and or traded. Hell, some people even want Belichick fired already. So, with that in mind, here’s what…
In a rather stunning turn of events, Bill Belichick actually answered questions from Glenn Ordway, Lou Merloni and Christian Fauria like a normal human being on Monday. After the embarrassment that was the 33-6 blowout on Sunday, it was just assumed that BB would be his usual ornery self when he met with the guys on Monday. That wasn’t really the case though as Bill gave some legitimately honest answers…
The Patriots are now under .500 through at least five games of the season for the first time since 2002. So, when Bill Belichick met with Glenn Ordway, Lou Merloni and Christian Fauria for his weekly appearance on WEEI on Monday, it was sure to be all sunshine and rainbows, right? We got the good old sarcastic Bill back for a good chunk of this week, and credit to the…
