Also:
Belichick is currently tied for football championships with George Halas and Curly Lambeau at 6. Lombardi is in second with 5.
So add just another point of potential history to this upcoming season.
Simple question (and take some time thinking it over):
Has there ever been a US sports franchise entering a season with so many historic records at stake? (career personal and team)
I dunno - maybe the Stengel Yankees in 1958 or the Auerbach Celtics of 1966 or the Russell Celtics of 1969? (I’m still in awe of Bill Russell as the greatest single American champion of all time 11 NBAs, 2 NCAAs and 1 Olympic Gold - no one will ever match that.)
