Football! And Bill Belichick

Sorry it's taken me so long to post - school is busy. When I graduate and spend 6ish months doing nothing, you can expect many more posts.

Anyway, I had to post now because of this article, by Elizabeth Merrill. ESPN has so much shit going on they're always looking for something to cover, but they pulled a Beverly Hillbillies and accidentally struck gold on this one, coming as close as they can to revolutionizing a view of Bill Belichick (I assume David Halberstam's book is inifinitely better).

ANYWAY, ESPN's goal is to always cause controversy, and I can't tell if this article is yet another satirical joke at the expense of Bill Belichick, or if it is a legit piece about him. I came to the conclusion you could probably read it as both. It has enough bullshit for you to make an argument to hate him, but if you really read it, you'll realize he is an amazing person and an even better coach.

Just because in this era, nobody can understand how someone can devote so much of their life to one thing - and be that good at it - doesn't mean Bill Belichick is a bad person. He is exactly the opposite, and arguably the greatest coach of all time. His genius is so advanced to a level that people cannot comprehend it, and if people interpret his legacy correctly, he should be revolutionary to the game of football, and in the futture I hope Jonathan Brady Moynahan is competing for the Bill Belichick trophy.
