Kyle Van Noy Planing Revenge On Bill Belichick For Paintball Incident

Patriots head coach Bill Belichick shot Kyle Van Noy with a paintball right in the eye. Will Van Noy forget the shot? I don’t think so.

Van Noy had a visit to the NFL Network studios, and talked about the paintball adventure his team had in June. The sixth-year linebacker mentioned his revenge for Belichick, too.

“I’ll get my revenge. It’ll be during fall camp somehow,” he told NFL Network. “I’ll have to plan something good. He probably doesn’t even know he shot me. It was good, but I’ll get him back, though. He just doesn’t know when it will come.” 

Van Noy also talked about the players he admired as a kid.
“I’ve admired a lot of different players. I like to pick something from each player. A big one for me was Derrick Brooks — I was a big Buccaneers fan growing up. I picked the [Bucs] because they had the pirate on their helmet. I enjoyed watching him. From him to admiring Tom (Brady), Adrian Peterson, Sean Taylor, Ed Reed, Brian Dawkins, DeMarcus Ware, there’s so many guys. That’s just naming a few. I’ve just admired their approach and how they played the game.”

The New England Patriots won the Super Bowl, and Van Noy knew that they were on the right track.

When asked if he believed that the Patriots would win the big game, Van Noy said, “Yeah, the whole time. You (as a fan) were probably devastated and shocked, saying the F-word a little bit. For us, we just knew that we didn’t play to our capability, and we knew that all we needed was one play to get us started. That was our mindset in the second half. In the locker room, there was really no big speech that set everyone off. We all looked at each other and said, ‘Let’s go to work, the right way.’ That was our mindset, just one play at a time in the game. We kept that mentality and it just snowballed and snowballed, and you couldn’t stop it once we got going. A lot of people don’t [realize it], but the defense only gave up 21 points in that game. That’s really good [going against] a team as high-powered as they were playing the entire season. We knew that we had a really good defense and we just needed to keep at it.

It was fun. It really was. I felt like I was representing not only myself, but Patriot fans and my teammates in general. I got to smile. … I feel like I wasn’t cocky about it, it was more about having fun and enjoying the moment. That’s what our team does, we enjoy the moment. I just got in the position to be able to speak on the national level. I just tried to enjoy it because we try to tell everyone that we have fun (in New England), too.”
