I'm sure Kraft gets someone in his team to release these rumours, just so the Pats can do their usual pulling together and fighting against adversity act. It's annoying because it always works.
Until Belichick does a Buddy Ryan and punches Brady in the face I don't believe a word of it
Their success is 50/50 as far as I'm concerned. They're both led by the need for perfection and the almost sociopathic need to dominate.
I have to say, as far as Belichick is concerned, on the one hand I hate him, but then I see him talking on episodes of A Football Life or 30 for 30 and I think he isn't so bad really. He seems to have a lot more personality when he's talking about former players or coaches that he admires, and his knowledge of the game is obviously second to none.
It wouldn't surprise me if he went into the media in some capacity when he retires, at least for a few years until he gets bored, and I think if he does he'll surprise some people and they'll actually start to quite like him.
