I'm on twitter with the dweeb that helped produce Man In the Arena, and he and another guy claim that Belichick was going to be fired in 2001, if not for Brady, and now they're citing Belichick's admission that he was going to be fired. They say Belichick admitted Brady saved his career in 2001.
In 20 years of closely following the Patriots and Belichick, it's the first time I've heard anyone reference that Belichick said that. Does this sound familiar to any of you? Can anyone speak to Belichick saying this?
