Page 2: Ask BB

[xmarkd400x]

Dear Coach:
I'm starting to think that maybe I didn't handle the whole SpyGate thing all that well. Did you really hand over all of the evidence that would implicate you in any wrongdoing? If not, can you do so now? Please? Pretty please? I would really appreciate it.
-- Roger

Roger:
You're funny. You make me laugh. And I almost never laugh. But, yeah -- I TOTALLY gave all the evidence that would implicate me. Yep. Totally.

Thanks for the e-mail, though. You looked funny when you're were writing it, all shaking and weeping and stuff. (I have a surveillance camera in your office.)
-- Bill

Unbelievably lame. ESPN really is a cesspool.

 

[RayClay]

Pretty brutal, but I LMAO over most of it. Let's face it, it's likely after Sunday and after the year, we're going to be the targets, just like the Celtics were under Auerbach.

I really think Bellichick is a good and honorable person, but he sure doesn't do anything to promote that image, and on the football field he's a cold blooded killer.

Red had a different style, but he maintained such a psychological edge his opponents made awful personnel and trade moves trying to get him.

Whatever works.

 

[RayClay]

I will say that belongs on a rough humor magazine, not a page of a respected sports publication, but ESPN gave that up long ago.

No author mentioned, but I bet our Sports guy Simmons had a piece of that.

I have no respect for them...... It's not even all that funny. Well, if you are like 14 or something, perhaps it is.

 

[DarrylS]

Difficult to give any credibility to an unsigned article, maybe the author should go to Sears to see if they have any testicles on sale.. otoh it was pretty irresponsible journalism and the attempts to demonize Bill are startling.

 

[Patjew]

I found it not funny and not in-line with Belichick's personality. A smart piece would have left me thinking, "yeah, I could see BB saying that."

 

[363839]

Just another smear piece disguised as humor.

 

[Halifax_Pats_Fan]

pretty lame indeed

The Page2 section of ESPN is designated as humor.

But...................... It's not funny? It's just dumb. Even if you hate the guy, that's not really all that creative. If, as PatJew points out, it was the least bit relivant to how he ACTUALLY is, it might be funny.

Something like.

Dear Bill........

I just caught my wife in bed with a Tom Brady blow-up doll and she was moaning that she wanted to be with a real man. I'm heartbroken, and I turn to you for your wisdom and guidance and am need your help. I have no-one else I can turn to. Please HELP.

Devastated in Indy ..........

Dear Devastated,

Look Peyton, how many times can I tell you this. It is what it is. Look, I really don't have time for this.......... I'm simply focused on the Colts this weekend. You wanna talk about the Colts, fine...... Next question.

BB

See 5 minutes, and I'm not ESPN writer.

If it were funny, I'd have no problem with it. But it just sucked. Good satire is funny because it's based in truth. This was generally lacking in humor.

 

[Lampshade]

I'm betting The Onion aren't desperately trying to poach that writer away.

 

[xmarkd400x]

I liked it. I looked at the article as an "over the top, what the media would have you believe about BB" piece. Not everyone has to share my view.

 

[roguepatriot]

Personally, I thought the idea was good, but our mysterious author could not contain his vitriol and make a decent piece out of it. The only half-decent one was the one from Roger, and I am sure there is something more you could make out of our wonderful commish. Maybe he is just not very creative; oh I forgot; this is ESPN.
