The Patriot Way

Amusing.  Fitting.  Hilarious.  All words to describe Bill Belichick's press conference earlier in reference to signing Tim Tebow.  We all expected Bill to be Bill, and the Patriot Way of no distractions to be upheld, yet it seems the manner in which Belichick goes about things never ceases to make you chuckle--even when it's not supposed to.  

But I think this is the best for the team and for Tim Tebow, as the hooded man made clear today.  There will be no distractions, as Tom Brady is the number 1 quarterback without question, and there will be no media distractions either.  This gives Tebow a unique chance to learn from a great mentor such as Tom Brady, work behind him with no expectations, and work in a system that has guys like Josh McDaniels who believed in him at least once before.  And we know he's going to work hard.  With guys around the league getting into off-the-field trouble, we know Tim will do the opposite--providing work-ethic and another great teammate to an already sound Patriot locker room.  Bill Belichick knows the tight ship he runs, and he knew he could take a chance on Tim Tebow without any distractions.  And he's doing just that.  After all, it is the Patriot Way.
