I’d send him my book called “Football Scouting Methods” but I think he probably already has it .
Something tells me he already has the original manuscript..

What an awesome story to share with us!
What was it like when you got the envelope in the mail? FedEx? Hands trembling?
Could you even tell it was Patriots Place?
Who is dope that clicked on “Useful”?So, in November, I was back in Mass to continue cleaning out the house of my Aunt who passed last January. During the cleanout, I found 5 books from the US Naval Academy. All 5 books were from the mid 40's-early 50's. 4 of the books talked about each of the ranks a Cadet would hold while at the academy. The 5th book was a book on Football.
Well, I knew immediately that there was one person who would appreciate these books more than anyone. Bill Belichick. So I sent them to him and it was delivered to Gillette on the 24th.
This is what I got in response.

Just wanted to share with everyone..
Underrated postHe never wrote me back after I sent him a copy of “Drafting Wide Receivers for Dummies”
Awesome story, always great to hear/see things like this. A few years ago a colleague of mine was preparing to retire and her and her husband are huge Clemson Tigers fans (which is fairly rare in Atlantic Canada). On a whim I decided to email the Clemson Athletics Department and ask if Dabo Swinney might be willing to write a short note to her for the occasion and we could present it to her at the retirement party.
Didn't hear anything for a few weeks and I basically forgot about it but sure enough, shortly before the retirement party, a letter (on very impressive letterhead) arrived "From the Desk of Dabo Swinney" with a very nice message to her and autograph. The funny thing was that for weeks afterwards she did not believe it was real. I actually had to show her the email I sent to Clemson before she believed it. Always had a soft spot for Clemson after that happened.
Robert, Jonathan and Myra Kraft, Vince Wilfork, Tom Brady (briefly), Vince Wilfork, Ty Law (several times in a personal setting), John Cafferty, Dan Koppen, Andre Tippett, Bill Spaceman Lee, Oil Can Boyd, Terry O’Reilly, Lyndon Byers, J Mascis, some others I guess... no really great stories unfortunately. They were all clothed.Give us a list.
And stories where appropriate!
Press “list” and you’ll know.Who is dope that clicked on “Useful”?
I know, I just wanted him to know we knowPress “list” and you’ll know.
He needs to write a book one day.
