Don't be ridiculous. He was getting his hair done.
Seriously... he seems like a nice guy, but he's definitely a Type A personality. He supposedly hates to lose, at ANYTHING, even a game of checkers in the locker room, and when he loses he gets really pissed off. I think it's probably that whole dual personality thing where he has both a giant ego and yet paradoxically huge feelings of inadequacy due to splitting time in college and being drafted late (which to this day he admits motivating him). You're talking about a guy who was on the Patriots' roster as the #4 QB who supposedly introduced himself to Kraft while walking by carrying a pizza and saying something like, "Drafting me is the best thing you ever did." In his weekly radio interviews he's like Belichick's Mini-Me: self-deprecating, almost never saying anything bad about another team or his teammates, and whenever they try to bait him into it he literally simply answers a different question (e.g. this week they asked if Cromartie's comments irritated him, and he responded with a bland paragraph summing up as "the Jets are a very good team"). And on the other hand, he scored a supermodel wife.
He might actually BE an asshole on occasion, but begging the refs for a flag every now and then probably doesn't qualify him as one.
Now, Belichick, on the other hand.... probably a GIANT asshole.
