In light of the disclosure that Red Sox players were drinking during games - either in the dugout or the locker room or both, it sparked the Zen question of the week: How might another coach we know deal with this situation? Specifically, how might Coach Bill Belichick of the New England Patriots take on the issue of players needing a cold one to rally the team?

Let's go back to last weekend's Pat's game versus Dallas - the Patriots get the ball late in the 4th quarter needing a field goal to tie, but a touchdown would win the game. Tom Brady goes into the game to lead the charge and Coach Belichick looks to some of his veterans on the sidelines to substitute in - the problem is they are all over at a heated bench with a few cold Buds and a bucket of chicken downing the eats and drinks in honor of their teammates. Clearly coach can't sub them in because their fingers are all greasy from the chicken and won't be able to catch a ball.

What would Bill do?
