The Jets' Derrick Mason said he's looking forward to seeing New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick in a little more than three weeks.

A documentary done by the NFL Network that premiered last night called "A Football Life," where Belichick is wired for a whole season, revealed that the two have a chippy past. After Mason caught a first down catch against the Patriots in 2009 with the Baltimore Ravens, the two had a brief sideline confrontation .

"Oh, (expletive) you Mason, just (expletive) you," Belichick said after Mason made a comment following the catch. "Why don't we talk after the game, just shut the (expletive) up."

The video appears to show Mason going over to pat Belichick on his backside and he begins to laugh, to which Belichick responds: "Can you look at the scoreboard? (the Patriots won by 6)."

Today in response, Mason said that he'll see Belichick again on the sidelines when the Jets travel to New England. He also made several sarcastic remarks about the Patriots head coach and the "spy gate" scandal back in 2008.

"(I won't see him) not before (the game), during the game," Mason said. "I respect him because he's a very good head coach. They won a bunch of games during those times (putting emphasis on the words). When they were allegedly...you know (referring to spy gate). They won a bunch of games.

"But nah, I respect coach, he's a good coach. But I will see him out there."

Mason is 1-5 lifetime against the Patriots with a little more than 70 yards per game. The teams play each other again on Oct. 9.
