And there's only 32 of these, and I'm going to go there.
I am. I am surprised. Do I believe he's going to stay there long? Absolutely not. I mean, the buyout tells you everything. Starting this June, he can be bought out for couch cushion change from NFL owners. I mean, come on. A million dollars? Belichick has got a million dollars of cash he could put in his pocket and pay that off. I mean, Belichick, that's nothing. He's worth hundreds of millions.
Like, that's nothing. So that alone tells me he doesn't want to stay there long term. He was shocked, I know, and so were people around him, that there wasn't more of a calling for him to be the head coach. So, yeah, am I shocked he's going to college? Definitely. Did I think there would be a team out there that would latch on to Belichick? I did think that. But I'm not shocked.
that the NFL rejected Belichick. His age, his control, his demeanor, everything that comes along with him. Yeah, there's going to be some organizations that are going to be like, wait, we don't want to deal with that. We don't know how much longer he's going to coach. And we're not just going to give him free reign to take over everything if he's only going to be here for two or three years.
And let alone this too. And this is the other aspect. Belichick has...
treated most of the NFL like for the last 20 years and I don't mean it in disrespectful it's just the Patriots are so you know uptight you know quiet lip they don't talk to anybody he doesn't let coaches talk to other coaches on the field pre-game right there's certainly a lot of coaches think there's a lot of arrogance that came out of New England over the last 20 years I've said this on TV I mean man over the last 20 years if you gave me a dollar for every coach I talked to oh
New England, yeah, I forgot they invented football. Oh, yeah, New England thinks they know everything. Oh, yeah, I know. Belichick's got all the answers, all that. They've burned bridges there. So there's a lot of people in football that just wouldn't want to deal with Belichick in general.
Yeah, I know. And listen, I'm friends with Mike, and Mike's the man, in my opinion. Yeah, he's great. He's somebody I talk about and talk football with a lot. And we see the game the same way. And when he does say stuff like that, I do go, ooh, all right, maybe, maybe. But again, too, I don't know. When it comes to business, I wouldn't exactly trust Bill Belichick in every word he says.
We've seen he can dodge questions and lie and bullshit pretty good to the media. And that's what I kind of find funny about the whole thing. He doesn't talk to the media for the last 15 years, and now he's a media darling telling everybody about how every team should play and coach and do all this. And I think it's very, very hypocritical, honestly.
I don't want to say that, but it's the first time I've questioned it. It's definitely gotten to a point. It's a lot, Chris. I know. I've had fun with this all week because I always go, next man up, next man up. I get it. It's cool. And I know we all want to latch onto that. But let me just give you a little story and an inkling into next man up, OK? Next man up, right?
After you get past the first guy to the second guy, it's usually like, well, there's a difference. There's a reason he's a starter and that's a backup. Once you get to the second guy and now you start going to the third guy, then it becomes like, oh, wait. Third guy's playing. I mean, we cut him last year. He wasn't even on a team. Now he's starting for us.
So like you could say next man up all you want. There's a big drop off. And that's what you worry about with them. It's banged up. And it's not like I don't feel horrible about their starters.
on the D-line and things like that, it's affected their depth to where when they come off the field, you look at the second unit and you go, oh my gosh, they have no chance against this offense or Josh Allen and this offensive line. And that's where you worry about it. They're going to have to adjust their style. And I don't know what that's going to be, Stugatz.
That's going to be the interesting thing. Do they just go super aggressive with their offense and go, screw it, we're going to outscore you and we're going to play that style? Or will they go a little bit like, hey, we can run the ball and control the clock and do that. We're good enough to do that on the offense, and maybe we play that way and not put our defense out there as much.
I'll be interested to see what Dan Campbell and companies' approach is there in Detroit. I still believe in them, but as you know, With the injuries, I certainly don't think they're the best team in football right now. You know I think that title goes to the Philadelphia Eagles.
Well, I mean, it's going to be hard not to play him. He wants to play. I've been around Mahomes too many times in my life and gotten the chance to know him a little bit. He's a psycho. He's the psycho you want in a good way. He's a gym rat. He's obsessed.
I mean, when I'm around them in Kansas City and Andy Reid, I don't know how many times Andy Reid's had to tell me, like, man, I mean, him, he's obsessed. Oh, my gosh, he's all over everything. He's a gym rat. That's what he says. He'll cut your throat out to win the football game. So he's that way. The big thing is let him play if he can do it. That's cool.
But don't let him play if it's so bad to where we might sacrifice the big picture of things, right? Like, just to be the number one seed is not worth it just to go, well, now we don't even have Mahomes for the playoffs, right? Like, all right, whoop-de-f***ing-do. You just proved last year you don't have to be the number one seed and you can win the Super Bowl.
So don't make that the main objective. The main objective is to make sure 15 can play in the playoffs because when you got him, you know you can beat anybody.
Oh, you shouldn't just walk off the edge. Just walk in and hold a big weight while you're doing it. All right. Hold a big one. Tie it to your ankle. All right.
