Quick hit thoughts/observations on Belichick: A Football Life part two
Part two of Bill Belichick: A Football Life took us through the end of the disappointing 2009 season. Some of the things I took note of:
– Did it get any more awkward than Belichick and Mr. Kraft’s interactions? None were worse than after the playoff loss when BB just trudged right by him. Love Mr. Kraft for giving BB the freedom he has, but it’s clear he’s just a passenger with the money.
– How great was it to see BB celebrating the AFC East championship in the empty Gillette parking lot? Seemed like he had a little buzz going too. Can you imagine coming upon that tailgate in the wee hours after the game? Shows how much he enjoys winning.
– How come no Ed Reed man-crushing before the playoff game this time?
– Obviously the BB pirate costume will go down as one of the great comical moments of his career. Get ready to see more pirates at Gillette this season, especially around Halloween.
– One of the most interesting parts of part two, and something I never really connected the dots on, was the influence of the type of players BB watched growing up at Navy on the types of players he covets for the Patriots. Hard-working, disciplined, willing to do whatever was asked from them, ready to sacrifice all for the team. It’s an easy connection to see now, but I just never put it together.
– I felt like a negative nelly when I tweeted that the Patriots playoff hopes were being carted off with Wes Welker after he tore his ACL, but it looks like the Patriots players agreed with me, hence them mailing it in against Baltimore.
– Interesting that they didn’t touch at all upon Late Gate, one of the only mini-controversies of the season that they avoided.
– Was there anything better than the ending? With BB seemingly acknowledging that he has a lot of coaching left in him? That’s what I call ending on a high note.
The hit that altered the course of a franchise.
