Belichick's Hatred For Mangini: A New TheoryDuring yesterday's game, Phil Simms mentioned this interesting tidbit:
When the Jets hired Eric Mangini, he gave Chad Pennington a copy of the Patriots scouting report on Pennington.
Scouting reports belong to the Patriots, don't they? Is a departing coach going to a division rival authorized to take copies of scouting reports on opposing players - especially those who play for the coach's new team?
Could this be why Belichick had Mangini locked out of the Patriots facilities? Could it explain Belichick's animosity?
