I’m not really worried about the other 31 teams.
BILL BELICHICKI’m not really worried about the other 31 teams.
BILL BELICHICKI cannot comment on any player who has ongoing criminal charges and legal situations.
BILL BELICHICKI don’t think there’s anybody in this organization not focused on the 49ers…I mean Chargers.
BILL BELICHICKI’m not going to be able to talk about the people who are involved specifically in any ongoing judicial process.
BILL BELICHICKI think that we’ll continue to try to look at ourselves in the mirror and see where we can do a better job, maybe where we can improve the process. But I think the fundamentals of the process will remain the same.
BILL BELICHICKI obviously understand that each team has the opportunity to prepare the balls the way they want, give them to the officials and the game officials either approve or disapprove the balls. That really was the end of it for me until I learned a little bit more about this .
BILL BELICHICKI was out of the country for a period of time but followed everything closely through other people in our organization and we’ve made the decisions that we felt were right for the football team and we’ll continue to do that and be as diligent as we can going forward.
BILL BELICHICKWe never use the condition of the footballs as an excuse. We play with whatever or kick with whatever we have to use and that’s the way it is.
BILL BELICHICKI would say that during the course of the game, I honestly never – it probably has happened on an incomplete pass or something – but I’ve never touched a game ball. It’s not something I have any familiarity with on that.
BILL BELICHICKWe have absolutely done as much work as we can on finding out things like that and we’ll try to get all the information that we can as that would apply to any current situation, which I can’t talk about.
BILL BELICHICKHowever bad we can make them, I make them. Any time that players complain about the quality of the footballs, I make them worse and that stops the complaining.
BILL BELICHICKNot all teams use the same tests and certainly those tests are far from being 100 percent as well. It’s part of the process.
BILL BELICHICKI’m trying to coach the team and that’s what I want to do.
BILL BELICHICKI don’t Twitter, I don’t MyFace, I don’t Yearbook…
BILL BELICHICKTo live in the past is to die in the present.
BILL BELICHICKSo many different things happen in a split second during the course of the play, just like it is for a quarterback. The more of those things that you can do right, slow down, get the most important things, not get distracted by all the stuff that’s happening, but just really zero in on a target.
