Welker Says A "Lady" Is Key To Belichick’s Kindness

Today was media day for Super Bowl XLVI. Which means there will be guarantees, predictions, and some zany comments.

New England Patriots receiver Wes Welker has started with the funny stuff. When he was asked about coach Bill Belichick’s kinder, gentler mood of late, Welker attributed it to a “lady in his life”.

“I don’t know, I think he’s enjoying himself,” Welker said when asked about Belichick’s demeanor.  “I think he’s got a lady in his life, so that could definitely be the case; I don’t know.  We’re just coming here to try and win a ballgame.  However we do that or whatever demeanor we have to take, that’s what it’s going to be.”

I know Welker wasn’t serious about that. but it is kind of funny. It’s something you normally hear around the workplace or amongst friends.

Welker Fined $10,000 For Wearing An Unautorized Hat

On the heels of Marshawn Lynch being fined $10,000 over his Skittles inspired cleats he wore last week, New England Patriots receiver Wes Welker is being fined $10,000 for wearing an unauthorized hat. A hat he’s been wearing after games and during interviews all season.

Wes Welker was fined $10,000 by the league for wearing an “unauthorized hat during his postgame interview,” according to a league spokesman.

The hat in question is a Bonk Breaker hat. Bonk Breaker is a gluten free, dairy free energy bar and Welker is an investor in the company. 

Welker isn’t too happy about having to fork over $10,000 for some nonsense.

“Got fined by the NFL for wearing a @Bonk_Breaker hat in an interview after the game,” Welker wrote. “Thanks for warning me the other 16 weeks I wore the hat.”

At least give the man a warning if you have a problem with it. It’s like getting wrote up at work for something you did 9 months ago. It’s good that the NFL has their priorities together reagrding whta you can get fined for.
