Marisa Tomei comments on Bill Belichick’s Mona Lisa Vito reference
By Robby Sabo
Academy Award winning actress Marisa Tomei recently commented on Bill Belichick’s use of her character in his ridiculous press conference.
In a nutshell, it’s like this: if you believed any of what Bill Belichick had to say on Saturday in that ridiculous scam of a press conference, then you need to put an end to your belief in the tooth fairy and the Easter bunny.

That’s right, it’s now safe to remove your tooth from beneath the pillow and throw in the garbage. Besides, the late great Stuart Scott would be ashamed you used the “cool side” so strangely.
The fact of the matter is Belichick and the New England Patriots are genius schemers. There is nothing that goes on with the football program that he doesn’t know about. He has more power than any other coach in the league by a wide margin.
That press conference was precisely calculated by the master himself.
People around the league are still laughing at that explanation.
It was funny though. To think Belichick, a man of few words, would actually reference some of the things he did blew minds across the nation.
One of his references that earned him few “cool points” with the media was that of Mona Lisa Vito from the motion picture My Cousin Vinny.
Via NFL:
“I’m not a scientist. I’m not an expert in footballs. I’m not an expert in football measurements. I’m just telling you what I know,” Belichick said Saturday. “I would not say I’m Mona Lisa Vito of the football world, as she was in the car-expertise area.”
Hilarious, Bill.
Belichick clearly was on a mission last Saturday. He wanted to announce to the world that he worked very hard all week trying to get to the bottom of this nonsense. After all, nonsense is exactly how he’s trying to perceive the allegations in his attempts to minimize this madness.
He wanted to throw it out there so we would magically forget about it until after the Super Bowl.
Academy award winning actress Marisa Tomei, who was the woman behind the character Belichick used in his schemes, commented today on the unexpected reference.
Rich Eisen Show via NFL Network:
“It’s pretty funny,” she replied. “I was on a plane from Miami and my phone was just lighting up when I got off.
“I kind of had to catch up on what was going on and the whole ball-gate or deflate-gate.”
Eisen then asked her if Mona Lisa could get Brady and Belichick out of the sticky situation they see themselves in:
“That’s a lot of pressure on Mona Lisa. I think she’d want to because, you know, who doesn’t love him? But, I don’t know, ultimately maybe, you know, she’s a New Yorker. So she’s a Jets fan.
“I don’t know. It depends how many other cases are in the queue, perhaps. But he was definitely, you know, ‘dead on balls accurate,’ as she would say. One more moment, I know they have more important challenges at hand, as he well said.”
Regardless of what kind of magic Mona Lisa can pull, Belichick seems to have at least some people under his spell.
Hopefully Roger Goodell isn’t one of them. If he is the already strong feeling that Goodell is one of Robert Kraft’s “patsies” will only grow stronger.
