First class, buddy.
Look, enough is enough.
I liked watching the Bills back in their years of dominance, and I always liked watching Jim Kelly play, since he was with the Gamblers. That was a cool team. I hoped against hope for the Bills to win a Super Bowl, even though I had no real connection with Buffalo in any way. I just enjoyed that team, from afar.
But the public furor over Belichick has reached idiocy levels. Far too many people who have contributed nothing to the world aside from their opinions and verbal farts are judging a man who they do not know, and do not understand.
Have you read
Education of a Coach? If you had, you would know something about his nearly single-minded devotion to the sport, and about his incredibly touching devotion to his Dad, a salty Naval Academy football lifer, who loved the college game, his family, and the Academy, possibly in that order.
And if you had been exposed to more of the immense praise from men such as Bill Russell and Jim Brown, you would know something also about the man's pride, and the respect he commands from people who respect intelligence, toughness, and winning, and who hate phonies, fakers, and bullsh*tters.
I'm not saying he's a great man, or that he's not flawed, and that he hasn't made mistakes (plenty of them). He's arrogant, and can be rude, and is clearly a bit of a monomaniac. But he is far more interesting, and complex, and caring than the general public thinks, and it is a shame that no one is listening for those stories instead.
