But those are not his only traits that have made him great.
Not by a long road.
No, this diabolical genius possesses qualities far stronger than knowledge and admiration.
In a way, those are his most admirable qualities.
They’ve guided his steps along this incomparable football journey he’s on.
And all who have crossed him has suffered because of them at one time or another.
Last night on the Manningcast, it was the Atlanta Falcons turn.
Especially CEO Rich McKay [who] is Blank’s Littlefinger.
The one who has the ear of the king.
And he’s not about to cede that power.
Because he’s someone who can be managed and controlled, in ways Belichick will never, ever be.
If the Falcons were interested in winning, they’d have gone with the obvious choice.
The people making the decisions are interested in keeping their jobs, even at the expense of continued irrelevance.
So they made that choice.
As for Belichick, good for him.
Why should he compromise?
He doesn’t give up control to you.
You give control over to him.
If you want to hire him, you do it on his terms.
He’s a package deal.
The walking, talking equivalent of a “28-3” t-shirt.
He simply has every skill you look for in a broadcaster.
Tells you things you didn’t know or would’ve missed.
And above all else, willing to hold grudges and settle scores whenever the opportunity presents itself.
The Year of Belichick continues.
And I cannot wait to hear who he destroys next.
