Florio (who I am always side eyeing) brought up a good point.
Belichick in those emails is trying to take credit for the value of the team. Calling himself “the leader of an organization that
grew from a $500 [million] franchise to an $8 [billion] organization.”
But then even the most trash franchises like the Commanders ballooned up to 6 billion in value over the same period of time. Then he never mentions Kraft in the book who was directly negotiating tv deals and helping to end strikes which did far more to increase the value of franchises.
Yes the Patriots being as successful as they were definitely moved their ranking in value higher in the horse race, but like
90% of that jump was going to happen no matter what. Bill's trying to act like he is some business miracle maker.
