Don Shula calls Bill Belichick “Beli-cheat”

[LetsGoRams]

This one is also in a Westin Hotel.

Don's also got a new place in Orlando called Shula Burger. I haven't tried it yet,,, but I'm sure it's quality. His steakhouse kicks ass.

Damn, I was just in Orlando in November! I'll have to check it out when I'm back later this year.

Meh....

Shula and his Dolphins cronies are pretty annoying IMO, waiting for the last undefeated team to lose so they can light cigars and crap. I'd appreciate it more if it came from anyone but him. IMO he's just latching on to a catch phrase because he's still butt-hurt that his team isnt the only regular season undefeated anymore.

Wouldn't you be "butt hurt" if an something you accomplished was matched by someone who knowingly cheated and got away with light punishments?

Shula's is a helluva steakhouse. There's one (at least there used to be) in the Westin hotel in downtown Indianapolis, right by the old RCA Dome... I was there one night back in 2000 I think, and Edgerrin James and some of his buddies were eating at the table right next to mine. Was pretty cool - and a great steak!

Is St. Elmo's still open?

Is St. Elmo's still open?

Oh yea...

I don't live in Indy now (did for 2 years in early 90's), but still have buddies there and go there often. St. Elmo's is still going strong. I can taste those shrimp cocktail right now!

It's a great place to eat.....I lived in Indy many years ago.

Hate hate hate all things Boston.
+1 Shula.

Hope the Pats get obliterated this weekend. My buddy is a Pats fan. (I use the term "buddy" loosely here)

The guy and all his fellow Pats "fans" do more crap talking and name calling of OTHER teams it's unreal. Never anything good to say about anyone else. Always laughing at the misfortune of others. But when anyone goes in on their precious team it's a huge slap in the face. Whiny little d-bags.... Just like how I view Beli-cheat. Go Ravens.

I have to agree Deiter. I enjoy anyone busting on Bellicheat but the Dolphins and Shula are a Joke. That 12 game record in a time before Free agency was much easier to achieve than 12 straight wins would be today with a Salary cap, expanded passing attacks, free agency and rule changes.

Marino is a dick too.

For Shula to say that is out of character for sure...(But I love it none the less)...He's been one one of the most respected coaches in football about forever...The Cheatriots missed their shot at ultimate glory by losing the SB..3rd biggest upset in SB history, IMO...(1. Jets over Colts and 2.Cheatriots over Rams)

I think 1972 was a 14-game schedule...

I think 1972 was a 14-game schedule...

Yes you are correct but I still think it was easier to do then than even 12 straight games is to do now.....for all the reasons that I listed.

 

[Dr C. Hill]

Good for him! I think every single coach and player in the league should call out that disgusting organization every single day! They are a total Fraud! Doom on every single person who has ever been a part of that criminal enterprise! Why were those tapes destroyed again?

 

[Amitar]

I wish more NFL people would speak the truth on this subject.

 

[rhinobean]

Am I just being too much of a nerd if I point out they were definitely not laughing in that scene?

Nope!

 

[LazyWinker]

Since most everyone is usually oral sexing Bill Belichick, it's nice to hear someone question his integrity... even if it is Don Shula.

Rodney Harrison reacts to Shula’s use of “Beli-cheat”

Recently, legendary NFL coach Don Shula referred to Patriots coach Bill Belichick as “Beli-cheat.” The story created plenty of buzz — and generated a large stack of approved (and deleted) comments from PFT Planet.

On Friday’s edition of PFT Live on NBC Sports Radio, former Patriots safety Rodney Harrison defended Belichick against Shula’s remark, and also gave Belichick high praise.

“I just think it’s flat-out disrespectful,” Harrison said. “I always have respect for Don Shula. I don’t think that Bill Belichick deserves that. People make mistakes and do things, but Bill Belichick has proven that he’s the greatest coach of all time. You can look at the last decade of what he’s done, what he’s been able to accomplish. But it’s one of those things where as a coach, another well-respected coach, you don’t come out and say those things like that about another coach. I think it’s flat-out disrespectful.”

Shula’s comments, rooted in the lingering fumes of Spygate, overstate the value of the infraction (videotaping the opponent’s defensive coaching signals) and overlook the reality that plenty of mild-to-moderate (and worse) cheating occurred throughout the sport before, during, and after Shula’s coaching tenure. The bigger question is whether Harrison accurately pegs Belichick as the greatest coach of all time.

Cheaters stick together because they're all guilty.
