That someone is New York Post reporter Brian Costello. (I’ve known Costello since I was in college and he was working at the local paper; you might recall he is the reporter who asked Brett Favre about Jenn Sterger.) There’s no video yet, but apparently the question was phrased liked this:

Costello: Bill, has the Spygate saga tarnished your Super Bowl wins?

Belichick: Yeah, we’ve moved on from that.

And that was it.

Immediate internet reaction – especially from Boston types – was largely dismissive. Which is surprising, considering Belichick hasn’t won a Super Bowl since Spygate was uncovered in 2007 (lost in the Super Bowl in 2008 to the Giants, no playoff wins from 2009-2011).

There have been a lot of gushy words written about Bill Belichick this week – he’s won consistently for a decade, he’s in a Super Bowl with a pathetic defense that has a wide receiver playing DB, as a coach he’s ornery but brilliant, he doesn’t need a running back or high draft picks to succeed, and on and on – but good luck finding much about Spygate, which probably is the biggest black eye the NFL has had in the last decade.
