Belichick rooting against old team

PHOENIX -- Bill Belichick coached for the New York Giants for 12 years and he and he won two Super Bowls with them as their defensive coordinator (1986 and 1990).

As much respect as he has for the Giants organization, Belichick said that there is no way he is going to rout for them on Sunday.

“When I was with the Giants, the fans were very supportive and they still are; they are great fans,” Belichick said. “I have all the respect in the world for the Giants fans, the Giants organization and their football team. I am on the other side of the field this week so there is no way I am pulling for them.

“Those 12 years were great there and I appreciate everything that happened during those 12 years with the Giants; from the organization to the players, team, fans and community. But, that being said, I have moved on and I know they still love their team and they should. I love our fans and the support we have received in New England and I am proud to be a New England Patriot. We are going to go out and do our best against the Giants on Sunday.”
