That interview with Jim Brown was a very good read. Thanks for posting it. I’d urge everybody to good read it through in its entirety.And here's quite a different face of Belichick - Jim Brown comments:
Brown: I don't compare myself with anyone. Let me tell you about
someone I do admire. Bill Belichick of the New England Patriots
has contributed more to the work I surround myself with than any
black athlete in modern times--financially, intellectually, every
way. He's been in the prisons with me. He's met gang members in
my home; he's met gang members in Cleveland [where Belichick
coached the Browns from 1991 to '95]. He's put up money. He's
opened up areas of education for us very quietly and very
strongly. Imagine what would happen if Michael Jordan did the
same thing.
Makes you wonder how BB cant stop the Bills or Bengals.How could this be... the game has passed him by?!?!?
Right. We all need to praise every move Bill makes on the field because he contributes to charities off the field.That interview with Jim Brown was a very good read. Thanks for posting it. I’d urge everybody to good read it through in its entirety.
If you do you’ll find that the context makes his statement about Belichick even stronger. It was his response after he was asked what current athlete he admires, compared with Bill Russell or himself. In the conversation up to that point the focus had been black athletes, and his answer was BB. I‘m afraid that juxtaposition will whip some of our resident Belichick haters into a real lather.
Who's saying that?Right. We all need to praise every move Bill makes on the field because he contributes to charities off the field.
Not really... The old axiom applies ⇉ Styles make fights.Makes you wonder how BB cant stop the Bills or Bengals.

but then again, ymmv... I'm not one of those who is looking for any perceived flaw in his work to try and tear him apart... Like some here constantly and consistently do.

Case and point...All these BB feel good stories seem kinda hollow without real wins as back up. Buffalo has owned the Pats since Brady left. The Bengals passed for 375 yards in their victory vs the Pats. Used to be that great QBs got shut down vs NE. Top WRs were basically invisible the whole day.
Like Rex Ryan, the ranking of BBs defense is what's most important anymore. Thats where all the energy has gone to keep up appearances. No post season wins, but did you see that DVOA? Rex ignored the offense when he was HC and low and behold, look at the 2022 NE offense. What a joke.
I'm sorry, you don't get to remove 19 years from his resume... ****s real bro, it happened, no matter how much you want cherry pickThey are 10-20 against teams .500 and above since Tom Brady left. The author also used poor examples with the Pats going 0-3 against the Bills and Bengals this season with both QB’s shredding the defense.
Let’s win some games against good teams before writing pieces like this.
And you wonder why you're met with derision and hostility.Right. We all need to praise every move Bill makes on the field because he contributes to charities off the field.
Interesting, that Belichick, the coach of the Browns, 30 years after Jim Brown retired respected Brown enough to do all those things. While the owner of the Browns fined Jim Brown over “dirty dozen”, resulting in Jim Brown quitting football. That same Art Modell was still the owner of the Browns when Belichick was supporting Jim Brown’s causes, but was he involved, nope. Modell cared only about the money, players were a commodity to make him more money.
So you can't respect him as a man who does good things unless he has a winning record every year?All these BB feel good stories seem kinda hollow without real wins as back up.

Right down party lines.And they crawl out from under the rocks, and all of them predictable as ever.
Kraft needs to know about this DVOA.So you can't respect him as a man who does good things unless he has a winning record every year?
