Nope, that was good. I'm going to give Belichick that one because that was, again, they got rid of their quarterback because of that game, right?

All right. you're a smart guy and a good Patriot fan. I got to hit you with Spygate because I never quite got over the fact that Bill Belichick needed to cheat so badly that he outrageously cheated until Eric Mangini, his former assistant, then the Jets head coach said, Bill, if you do it, if you tape my signals, I'm going to turn you in. And he turned him in and they got busted.

Well, then they had a Deflategate scandal, right?

I do agree with that, because once they inflated the football to the right proportion, Remember in the second half against Indy in the AFC, is the AFC championship game? Or no, it was the semifinal, right? Yeah, Brady threw a party in the second half with a properly inflated football, right? Okay.

So as a Patriot fan, how do you explain what happened after Tom Brady is pushed out the back door and he's got four years to prove himself, Bill Belichick going solo, and they're terrible, right? It's 33-51 without Tom Brady. Good job on that.

Although if you watched him against Alabama in his Orange Bowl game, the last game of his college career, he was really good.

Okay, but if Brady wins six Super Bowls with game-winning drives in the first quarter or overtime, and he wins the AFC Championship game with three third and ten conversions in overtime, he's saving Belichick from himself because there are times when the defense is not living up to its billing of the regular season, where it's getting torched too many times in playoffs.

I give you the early ones, but... as Brady took over the team in year three, four, and five, the Patriot way became the Brady way. And I think he never got enough credit for running the locker room and keeping the locker room from rebelling against the tyrant who was Belichick. So Belichick doesn't last that long as the CEO of that team without a Tom Brady as the leader of the team.
