| New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick got a big dose of karma after cutting reserve wide receiver Tiquan Underwood on the eve of Super Bowl XLVI. |
It’s pretty funny how I just wrote about how wrong New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick was for cutting reserve wide receiver Tiquan Underwood just 24 hours before the biggest game of his life in order to add defensive lineman Alex Silvestro from the team’s practice squad.
The only problem with Belichick’s nonsensical plan – and one that many, including myself expected – was that neither Underwood – or his replacement – Silvestro – would even see the playing field and sure enough, Silvestro never got in the game. Only two Patriots defenders didn't play in Super Bowl 46 and Silvestro was one of them.
To make a long story short Eye On Sports readers, Tiquan Underwood was released for absolutely nothing – and mostly because Bill Belichick had to show the world just how ‘ingenious’ he is.
Some random comments from around the Internet generally agree that Bellichick was wrong – and foolish for making the late switch.

Why not cut him last week ? You let him practice all week, fly his people in, go thru all the festivities to cut him the eve of ? I'm sorry you don't conduct business like that.... Let that man have some dignity... Very embarrassing

Messed up. Why hours before SB 46? The guy must be devastated. Good luck Underwood, I wish you the best.

And couldn't they have just cut OchoStinko instead? He's the least useful player on the roster.

The hell with Bill, he has never shown any class and cutting someone the night before is uncalled for. They had 2 weeks to figure it out, so either the Pats are way behind on their planning for the game or the coach is an #$%$ clown!

That's cold blooded Belichick. That's embarrassing not only to the player but his family.
Needless to say, maybe Belichick’s thinking about karma today!
We reap what we sew in this world and "hoodie" just got "karma'd I know that's not a word but maybe it should be,"Hoodie" is finally getting paid back in spades for his arrogance,Seymour ring a bell? Tried sending him to his perceived purgatory but hasn't quite worked out that way seems both teams have the same amount of Super Bowl wins as you said "karma's a b&tch Hoodie" and it has come home to roost right where it belongs
