Belichick pays own player to start fights on team in 90s?

in the latest accusations of weird-poo-belichick-has-done, one of his former players on the Browns is saying he paid the guy to start fights with players when practice was going slow.

Belichick's Browns were coming off a 1994 season in which they allowed an NFL-low 204 points on defense, but when his 1995 squad lacked that same punch in practice, Belichick turned to the quirky, hyper-aggressive Eaton to set a fire.

"If practice was going slow, he'd look at me and just say, 'It's time,' " Eaton told the newspaper. "He wanted me to get on somebody's (case) and start a little fight. I was known for that and it paid off on Fridays. There'd always be some extra money in my locker. Practice players don't make much, so I really appreciated it."
