If you have to explain a halftime show, then it wasn’t entertaining.

Clearly the Maye voters have a different interpretation of value. The "replace the player with x player" scenario was too hard to mentally process.

In case anyone forgot why he doesn’t have any rings. It’s in the title of the article.

It’s so weird that they wouldn’t rubber stamp Bellicheat for the hall of fame. He was only responsible for: Spygate (2007): The Patriots were caught filming New York Jets coaches' signals from an unauthorized location. Belichick was fined $500,000, and the team was fined $250,000 and lost a first-round draft pick. It was revealed they had filmed signals of various teams for seven seasons. Stealing Play Sheets (Prior to 2015): Former employees alleged that a Patriots staffer would steal the visiting team's scripted offensive plays from their locker room at Gillette Stadium during pregame warmups. Radio Interference (2000s): The Patriots were accused of frequently jamming opponent coach-to-quarterback radio lines, causing them to go out on key plays. Bengals Videotaping Incident (2019): A Patriots videographer was caught filming the Cincinnati Bengals' sideline, which Belichick claimed was for a behind-the-scenes feature on a scout and not related to coaching. Deflategate (2014-2015): While the focus of this scandal was on player involvement with under-inflated footballs, it remains associated with the team's reputation for bending rules under Belichick's tenure. Illegal Substitutions 2015 (at the NFL owners' meetings), the league passed a rule change making it illegal for a player with an eligible number (who reports as ineligible) to line up outside the tackle box. Such a player must now align closer to the center (within the tackle box, like a traditional lineman). Violating this results in a 5-yard penalty for illegal substitution. This directly addressed the Patriots' tactic, ensuring ineligible-declared players couldn't masquerade in wide/skill positions to confuse defenses. The rule was proposed partly in response to the Patriots' playoff success with it and aimed to promote clearer, fairer substitutions without overly restricting creative play-calling.

McD’s defense was always the liability. The complimentary football he spoke about was always theoretical. I would have understood if they had fired him after 13 seconds for pretty much the same reason they fired him for now.

With McD gone now all the retreads can’t come back whenever anymore

Clearly the refs money is on Denver

The Eagles got less heat for firing Reid

I have it on bad authority that Josh cried because a loss hasn’t gotten the coach and gm fired before. You didn’t hear it from me.

I have finally made peace with the fact that the NFL is entertainment with legalized gambling. I will watch it like the soap opera it is and not take it so seriously anymore.

in before the thread is locked

Whoever they rig it for. Probably the QB with the prettiest nails

DeAndre Hopkins is a shining example of both. Said he wanted rings, then took the highest dollar amount. After he got that last bump, decided to go to a contender for less for the past two seasons.

If he's been calling the same play 29 times a game and HASN'T had a secret notebook full of plays like Coach Klein, I'm not sure who to be more disappointed in.
