There are two schools of thought on Bill Belichick. One is that he’s a humorless football Jawa devoid of empathy or any animating purpose save destruction or creeping MILFs. The other is that he’s probably all those things, and that rules, because “he wins games for us!” That latter opinion is proffered by New England sports fans, so 99 percent of people rightfully ignore it. For the sake of pre-Super Bowl sanity, let us ignore them both—along with all the predictable statistics and hype. Instead, let’s consider the possibility that Bill Belichick is quietly kind of awesome.
