Belichick on the hot seat?

Looks like Bill Belichick might be in for a little grilling soon. Seems he's been named as the "other man" in a divorce proceeding in New Jersey. From the Boston Herald:
Bill Belichick has been named The Other Man in an ugly New Jersey divorce case and the jilted hubby has asked the court to let his lawyers quiz the New England Patriots head coach about his relationship with the missus, a blond fortysomething mother of two.

Vincent Shenocca, a 42-year-old New Jersey construction worker, filed for divorce from his wife, Sharon, a former receptionist with the New York Giants, on the grounds of "extreme mental cruelty." Shenocca's court papers say his wife of 10 years "has had a relationship with Bill Belichick for several years" and would not end it, despite her husband's pleas.

"This relationship appears to have blossomed, including more frequent telephone calls, and (Mrs. Shenocca's) receipt of large sums of money and expensive gifts from Mr. Belichick, which she has used to purchase expensive clothing, pocketbooks, watches, a treadmill and maid service, most of which she initially hid from (her husband)," the New Jersey court papers say.

Shenocca told his wife "that he did not feel comfortable with her receipt of expensive gifts and large sums of money from Mr. Belichick," the papers continue, but she "refused to consider (his) feelings and has continued her relationship with Mr. Belichick."

Shenocca's attorneys filed a request with the court yesterday asking for permission to take Belichick's deposition to quiz him about what exactly is going on between him and the attractive blonde. A hearing is set for early August.
That deposition would be worth hearing. I can only imagine:

Attorney: Please state your name and occupation.
Belichick: My name is Bill Belichick. I'm the HC of the NEP.

Attorney: How would you classify your relationship with Mrs. Shenocca?
Belichick: I'm a man. She's a woman. We relate. I guess that makes it a relationship.

Attorney: Would you say you had a sexual relationship?
Belichick: I can't say. I'm not an expert on that. There are experts for that sort of thing.

Attorney: I undestand you gave Mrs. Shenocca a watch. Could you describe the watch?
Belichick: It's a watch. It keeps time. It is what it is.

Attorney: Would you classify it as an expensive watch?
Belichick: I'm not a jeweler. You'd have to ask him.

Attorney: How much did you pay for the watch?
Belichick: I won't comment on contracts.

Attorney: What would you have to say to Mrs. Shenocca if she had attended the deposition today?
Belichick: I won't comment on the parties that aren't here. We're here to give a deposition and we have enough to do without worrying about who isn't here.

Attorney: Thank you.
