Sal Alosi Has Nothing on Bill Belichick Who Once Blocked Marvin Harrison

The video archives have not been kind to Bill Belichick. First there was this clip of Belichick being a jerk to the Steelers many years ago (definitely a must-see video). And now … well this video makes the Sal Alosi controversy look like a squabble over a parking ticket. As played on Comcast New England and relayed via Greg Bedard on twitter, here is the Bill Belichick-Marvin Harrison video from 2004:

Now compare that to the infamous Sal Alosi video and tell me which is worse. Alosi’s move seemed like a spur of the moment instinct based on a desire to help his team win. Belichick’s was clearly pre-meditated and motivated by a desire to go out of his way to impede an opponent’s movements.

All along I’ve empathized with Alosi who has become the fall guy in the case. I’m sure he’s not a man with malice in his heart but rather someone who was trying to play a role in helping his team win and made a stupid move. Belichick on the other hand has evil in his heart. But he is one darn good coach.
