There’s nothing like two credible NFL sources disagreeing about an alleged tirade thrown by the leagues meanest task master.
Adam Schefter and Mike Florio seem to have a difference of opinions on whether or not Patriots head coach Bill Belichick reportedly threw a profanity laced tirade at the league meetings.
They were in a meeting the other day with Dean Blandino, the head of the officials, and Bill Belichick got up there, and in profane language, told the NFL: ‘We spend money to send the Pro Bowl to Brazil, we spend money to go overseas to London, but we can’t spend money to have four cameras in the end zone, four cameras to help determine the correct call in the end zone on certain plays?’ He went off, and the way it was explained to me, from people in the room at the time, they were laughing at it because his language was so profane and because he was so incensed about it, and the NFL didn’t know how to handle it. But the bottom line is, they did not introduce the four cameras in the end zone, they thought right now it’s too cost-prohibitive for the NFL even, and they don’t know how to do it. They’ll probably continue to look at this, but Bill Belichick left these owners’ meetings not particularly happy.
PFT then disputed Schefter’s report:
Three different sources who were in the room says there was no profane tirade from Bill Belichick at the league meetings.

Maybe there was a tirade, maybe there wasn’t, but did Schefter miss on his report.
