Simply Billy Being Billy

I'm not even sure how to address "ClockGate" except to point out that the Patriots were within field goal range with 50 seconds to play regardless, so the extra time was a non-factor. But here's a nugget from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette on some sniping between Belichick and the Steelers' coaching staff while Matt Light was injured:

"When [Bill] Belichick saw [Steelers trainer John] Norwig approach Light, who lay on the grass field, he came out to shoo him away. Belichick told Norwig to 'get away from my [expletive] player' according to several sources. A surprised Norwig left and later could be seen talking and laughing about the incident with several Steelers doctors on the sideline."

Belichick was most likely worried that Norwig would take it upon himself to disclose more information about Light than Bill's standard "he's got a pretty serious leg injury" that we heard from Bonnie Bernstein during the broadcast.
