Read Brian's book, The Long Snapper. It's a good read.

He was on the radio this morning. Said he never heard Belichik say anything about him cutting his finger before the SB game until recently. And Belichik said his first thought was that Kinchen had done it on purpose, so he'd have an excuse for the bad snaps.

I'll be "that guy" in this thread...

The article was good...but Brian is an arse in real life. Little brother Todd was a great guy. Brian...not so much.

He was nice to me. Went to church with him around the Super Bowl time. We served as deacons together. I moved, so I haven't seen him in 12 years.

Well, he's a unique guy, yes. But I can tell you personally, as someone who worked with him as close as anyone for 2 years that he is genuinely a good guy. Some strange techniques about life maybe, but he's a good guy

I was working in the clubhouse at CCLA around this time. He would come in and work out a few times a week. I was always star struck. Then he'd throw his sweaty towels at me to wash.

Wow

Brian is one of my best friends and the Godfather of my son. He's definitely unique (but aren't we all in our own way) but far from being an arse. He walks the Christian walk like it should and would give you the shirt off of his back in a snow storm. Your comment really wasn't necessary nor relevant to the topic.

I sold my four door Honda accord (green) to his father sometime around '82. I'm not sure if it was to be for Brian or Todd...can't remember? Ask him if he recalls.

Since Todd didn't start driving until 1984 I'm sure it wasn't for him.

That's not the same guy I know. I think you have some sand stuck in your craw. Maybe something didn't go your way with him. He's a stand up guy. You're dead wrong.

This is true. Well when he was at LSU anyway. The company I worked for at the time worked LSU players during the summer. I worked with Brian and he was an arse back then ... people change, hopefully he changed
