Sing and zing Patriots' Belichick

A former colleague who works in Philadelphia, sports writer Frank Fitzpatrick, devoted a recent column to some cleverly mischievous renditions of holiday favorites, one of which is particularly timely considering tomorrow's game between New England and the New York Giants with the Patriots going for a 16-0 regular-season record.

Here's the first few lines of Fitzpatrick's satire of Pats coach Bill Belichick.

"Billy the Pats' Coach"

(To the tune of "Frosty the Snowman")

Billy the Pats' coach was a glum and sneaky cheat.

With a torn sweatshirt and a headphone hat and a team no one could beat.

Here's the full version, as well as send-ups on Eagles coach Andy Reid, new Miami football exec Bill Parcells and baseball, in general.

most of the country will remember the patriots as cheaters, regardless of what the talking heads and the patriots fans say.

we all know belichick is a person willing to cheat. he got caught. what we don't know is how much he has done in the past or since he got caught.

cheating is part of his character, not one mistake he made along the way just this year. his character merits speculation of his ability to play by the rules - ever.

call me a hater if you want. but he's a cheater no matter what the blind sheep of "patriots nation" think.
