A recurring theme throughout Super Bowl week has been the upbeat nature of Patriots coach Bill Belichick. The team has clearly had more fun this season and even Belichick himself couldn't help but mock his 2009 decision to for it on fourth-and-2 against the Colts in a regular-season loss. So why the sudden change? Patriots receiver Wes Welker attributes it to the coach "having a lady in his life." Let's hope Belichick doesn't fine Welker for putting his foot in his mouth and the Patriots receiver learned his lesson after speaking out last year.
