You're not from around here, are you?

Hey all --

Early on in Bill Belichick's press conference this morning, a reporter from Canada's TSN brought up the unthinkable: a 16-0 season. The reporter began by saying that "others" are saying it's possible, and does Belichick think it's flattering?

(See? You cringed too!)

"That's so ridiculous," Belichick said. "Seriously. Does anyone have any questions on the game?"

Thankfully, there were some questions about New England's game with the Bills, and Belichick was doing his best to talk up the 0-2 team.

"They have a style of play that's very distinct that will be hard to get ready for in a short amount of time," he said. "Defensively, they have a lot of quickness...their special teams we know are very good."

Belichick also talked about defensive end Aaron Schobel. As soon as his name was brought up, Belichick said, "he's killed us. He's killed us."

Schobel has more sacks on Tom Brady than any other player, including Miami's Jason Taylor, with 10.5 in 2 games. Taylor has 8.5 in the same number of games.

In the locker room, Tom Brady held court in front of his stall for several minutes, but it was quickly broken up when Randy Moss -- whose stall is right next to number 12's -- came wanting to get into his space.

Sammy Morris, drafted by the Bills, Rosevelt Colvin, nominated for AFC defensive player of the week, and Mike Vrabel also drew big crowds.

Chad Brown has moved his locker from the north end of the room, where his number put him with the defensive linemen, to the south end of the room, where as he told us, he can be with his linebacking brethren.
