Bill on the hot seat? Stop it...

     


    Bill Belichick is the greatest coach of all time he has coached for 48 years professionally and has been the head coach of the New England Patriots for 23 years. Belichick has 31 wins in the playoffs along with 298 wins all time. Putting Belichick up to 329 total wins 19 short of Don Shula at 347 total wins. Belichick was the head coach of the Cleveland Browns from 1991-1995, followed by being the defensive head coach from 1997-1999 for the New York Jets. Until he landed with the Patriots in the year 2000 and won 6 super bowl championships on 9 super bowl appearances. 13 appearances in the AFC championship game. and 17 AFC East division titles. Belichick was the coach of the year 3 times and paired with Tom Brady became the greatest duo in all of professional sports. Tom on the offense and Bill on the defense. 

    The notion of Bill Belichick being on the hot seat is pure comedy...

    Click bait being driven by the sports media world. Is there urgency absolutely! The Patriots since the departure of Tom Brady have been a laughing stock compared to their prior standard. The standard set, by Belichick himself the standard of the Patriot way. Tom Brady was a massive part of this, having Brady bought in as being a piece in the greater system removed any ego from the culture of the locker room. The Patriots were one unit one well oiled machine. If other players in the locker room saw Brady getting chewed out by Belichick they would be humbled knowing that the greatest player of all time is also apart of the system that is the Patriot way.

    Belichick is trying to restore this culture. That is why he did not go over price to bring in the likes of Deandre Hopkins, while people are obsessed with his stubbornness he has the track record to prove he knows what he is doing. Hopkins is a great player, he would help this offense a lot, but the offense was already a mess last year, bringing in this super star could alter the mentality of the locker room and send it into disarray, to Bill the culture he wants is the most important thing to him. He knows if guys can just buy in to what he is saying then the team will be successful. 

        The decision of Matt Patricia and Joe Judge running the offense was undoubtedly a mistake. Bill Belichick owned up to it at the end of the season saying it all falls on me. The fact that they were connected to O'Brien from the jump leads me to believe the two had spoken prior to the 2022 season, they knew there would be a reunion and Belichick had to bridge the year. So he took Patricia who was being paid buy the Lions to keep him off their books and instated him for the year. The experiment failed miserably but it got one OC out to bring in the guy that they wanted. Bill O'Brien. Now with O'Brien at the helm of the offense and Mayo and Steve Belichick running the defense Bill can really hone in on decision making where he really can thrive. 

        Final point on this issue, Robert Kraft got egg on his face once already. Letting the greatest player of all time walk in free agency. When he explicitly wanted to stay in New England, but the Patriots did not want to give him a two year deal. Brady would go on to win a seventh super bowl championship with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers while the Patriots would get obliterated in a single playoff game by the Buffalo Bills and be absent from the playoffs ever since. If Belichick were to leave because of being on a "hot seat" and he ended up in Los Angeles with the Chargers for the sake of argument. If you took Brandon Staley and replaced him with Bill Belichick they would win a super bowl in the same division as the Kansas City Chiefs. Bill running that defense with the elite weapons and QB in Justin Herbert the Chargers would be straight dynamite coming out of the the AFC West. This would put egg on the face of Kraft not once but now twice, I just cannot see Robert Kraft letting that happen again.

Red Sox Through the Month of March

Image
       The Boston Red Sox started off their 2025 regular season campaign on March 27th against the 2023 World Series Champion Texas Rangers. The Sox had lofty expectations headed into the Regular Season. Notable additions being super star left handed pitcher Garret Crochet, 2 time World Series champion Walker Buehler and Houston Astros super star 3rrd baseman Alex Bregman.     The Boston Red Sox put up a fantastic showing on opening day with a 5 inning performance from Garret Crochet giving up 2 earned and 5 hits. Not the strongest but with Garret Whitlock in the rotation the Red Sox were able to weather the Ranger offense until the dynamic duo of Kristian Campbell and Wilyer Abreu showed up and showed out. Kampbell in the late innings came up huge with competitive at bats leading to his first base hit and and set up walk. Abreu made the noise on opening night with a pair of homer runs including the game winner in the 8th inning.     While opening...

Week 1 Pats/Bengals

Image
          The NFL season has kicked off with the New England Patriots heading into the Jungle, Paycor Stadium in Cincinnati Ohio. The Patriots started the week as the biggest underdog in the slate of NFL games this week. I am no gambler but to the loyal Foxboro faithful, congratulations on cashing in on a major upset. Yes the New England Patriots coming off a 4-13 season went into Paycor and upset the 2022 AFC Championship winner,     Honestly the absence of Mac Jones under center cannot be understated. Jacoby Brissett is not behind the best offensive line in the league. Most would argue that on paper they are one of if not THE worst unit in the league. Brissett under pressure made some clutch throws. Hanging in the pocket and making some big time throws to players such as Austin Hooper who led the team in receiving guards with 31 yards. Along with Tyquan Thornton and KJ Osborne who went for 27 and 21 yards respectively. The offense undoubtedly ha...

Landslide on Lansdowne!

             The 40-42 Boston Red Sox had lofty expectations going into the 2025 Major League Baseball season. After key free agency signings of Alex Bregman, Walker Buehler, and Aroldis Chapman, trading for Superstar Left hander Garret Crochet, the return of Garret Whitlock, and Trevor Story, the Boston Red Sox had immense buzz, and optimism leading into the Regular Season. With Juan Soto leaving the division, and Gerrit Cole going down with a Tommy John surgery in early March, the path was paved for not only a Wild Card berth, but even competition for the division. The soap opera that has been the Boston Baseball Red Sox have shown anything but competitiveness for the American League East Division.      The major story of this season rides along the story of 3rd baseman Rafael Devers, and the dramatics of him giving up his position to make room for superstar free agent signing Alex Bregman. Rafael Devers was a brat during this process,...
