On Ronnie the Angry Troll saying that BB asked to have the book done:

Page 274 of Education of a Coach, Halberstam writes:

"When we finally did meet, I suggested that there might be a book in the education of a coach ... eventually, he agreed to cooperate. ... It was also agreed upon that he would not review the book when it was finished."

Exactly, folks. Borges is caught in two out and out lies regarding the books.

The other part I can't fathom is when he talks about BB and Pioli as if they're attention whores. What??????? Does BB ever get miked up for NFL films like Billick, Gruden, Shanahan, Tuna, Cowher, Vermeil, etc. When was the last time you ever saw BB on a TV commercial?

Quite humorous.

When the book came out and Halberstam was on his publicity tour, he said that BB had considered doing a book and had a friend approach Halberstam about it. By the time they met to discuss it, BB had decided he didn't want to do the self promotion thing and Halberstam didn't want to do an "as told to" book. But then Halberstam came up with the idea about the education of a coach and BB warmed to it.

So techincally, I guess BB did approach Halberstam. I'm not sure why it matters and why Bogus feels the need to say it ad nausem. Michael Holley addressed this bit of mis information on the radio last week and said again, he approached BB not the other way around.

Does it make BB a bad guy because he thought the story behind the 3 time SB champions would make a good book? I for one hope that when he retires, he'll do a tell all and answer all the questions I've always wanted to ask him.

Uh, uh. The book is 70% about his father, Steve. Halberstam had exactly 0% interest at first in doing a book about Steve Belichick. Let's face it, it probably wouldn't sell to the masses. BB stipulated that it mostly had to center on his father and the fraternity of football coaches. Halberstam had to accept those terms to be able to write the other 30% about BB.

As it turned out, the book had an interesting and rather untold angle to it regarding the exceptionally vagabond existence of high school, college and pro football coaches.

Borges' comments, at least in relation to the Halberstam book, indicate that he never read it and completely has no idea what it is about.

Wow, the hate and jealousy just drips of this guy. Watch his facial expressions when he talks about the books. Too funny, he doesn't even try to hide it anymore. Such a transparent, sad and pathetic man.

Really, doesn't he have any pride? Poor soul.
