| The latest in the Jets-Pats saga: Derrick Mason vs. Bill Belichick (US PRESSWIRE/Getty Images) |

A Football Life: Bill Belichick premiered on NFL Network Thursday night and it offered a rare glimpse into the inner workings of the New England Patriots and the man behind all the success this century: Bill Belichick.
Blog partner Josh Katzowitz hit the highlights from documentary, and perhaps no moment was more candid -- or hilarious -- than Belichick kindly telling then-Ravens wide receiver Derrick Mason what he could do to himself before reminding him that the Pats were, you know, winning the game.

On Friday, Mason, now with the Jets, tweeted about the exchange (here, here, here and here).

Mason insists that he's not upset (he used "LOL" three times in four tweets!), although he seemed to take pleasure in calling Belichick "the messiah" (we thought he was "the emperor"). That said, suggesting that “Had I said that to him, everyone would have been in a uproar! I have to much respect for the game to speck to a coach in that manner!” sorta misses the point since Mason initiated the trash talking.
As for the note that "even PFT hating on me," Mason was referring to this post from friend of the blog, Michael David Smith, who later added this update: "Mason clarified on Twitter that he’s not upset with Belichick — but he is upset with me."
And Tedy Bruschi thinks Chad Ochocinco spends too much time on his Twitter machine.
In case you're wondering, the Patriots host the Jets on October 9.
