It’s the business that you guys are in too. We try to get as much information as we can and make the best decisions that we can for the football team.

BILL BELICHICKI told you the one change we would make in the initial start level of the football pressure, but that’s really about it.
BILL BELICHICKIf you sit back & spend too much time feeling good about what you did in the past, you’re going to come up short next time
BILL BELICHICKTom’s [Brady] personal preferences on his footballs are something he can take about in much better detail and information than I could possibly provide.
BILL BELICHICKFor a team to accomplish their goal, everybody’s got to give up a little bit of their individuality.
BILL BELICHICKI feel like I’ve had a strong relationship with Robert [Kraft] and his family since I was here in 1996 and I think it’s gotten stronger every year that I’ve been here with the Patriots.
BILL BELICHICKThere are no shortcuts to building a team each season. You build the foundation brick by brick.
BILL BELICHICKAll sources are not equal. When you get information, you take the information, you evaluate it, and you do the best you can with it. So, there’s a variance in the quality and the amount of the information. It’s a case-by-case basis. Each one’s different. There’s no set formulas.

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 think it’s relatively easy to play defense against a team that can only do one thing. Unfortunately, that’s not what we’re talking about here with Seattle.
BILL BELICHICKI think we all know that quarterbacks, kickers, specialists have certain preferences on footballs. They know a lot more about it than I do. They’re a lot more sensitive to it than I am.
BILL BELICHICKI’m not going to be able to talk about the people who are involved specifically in any ongoing judicial process.
