How much more gas do you figure Bill has in the tank and what's motivating him to carry on with a lackluster team?

He's already the NFL coach with the most Super Bowl rings (6), twice as many as the best of his peers, but it appears it will be a while before his Pats are back in contention again.


He's in third place all-time for coaching wins:

1 Don Shula 328
2 George Halas 318
3 Bill Belichick 275
4 Tom Landry 250


He sits in 5th place all-time in terms of winning percentage

1 Guy Chamberlin .759
2 Vince Lombardi .740
3 John Madden .731
4 Ray Flaherty .701
5) Bill Belichick .683


He's 68 years old.

Is Belichick committed to rebuilding the Patriots into a Super Bowl contender? Would he consider jumping ship to another organization that would vastly improve his chances of getting a 7th Super Bowl ring? Does he have his eyes set on the record for most wins by a coach? Is retirement likely to come sooner than later?

I don't think this is disputed, except by Pats' fans who are intentionally blind to it. But how much farther do you think Billy-boy goes before calling it quits? Will he deviously craft new ways to circumvent the rules?

Billy-boy ain't giving up!


Belichick, the NFL's longest-tenured head coach, notably once said he didn't plan to coach into his 70s like former Bills coach Marv Levy. He later softened those remarks.

Asked Sunday morning whether it's safe to say he wants to return next season, he replied: "I'd say that would be accurate."

Ha ha! Billy's "end game" is to learn to send text message to intended recipients!



BOSTON (CBS) — Bill Belichick texted the wrong Brian to congratulate him for getting the Giants’ head coaching a job, according to a lawsuit filed by former Dolphins head coach and former Patriots assistant coach Brian Flores.

The lawsuit showed text messages of Belichick sending congratulations to Flores for landing the Giants job on Jan. 24. That text was sent two days prior to Flores actually interviewing for the job.

After Flores initially appeared confused by the text message, he asked Belichick, “Coach, are you talking to Brian Flores or Brian Daboll. Just making sure.”

Belichick replied: “Sorry – I f—ed this up. I double checked & I misread the text. I think they are naming Daboll. I’m sorry about that. BB”

The lawsuit alleges that Flores was then “forced to sit throug a dinner with Joe Schoen, the Giant’s [sic] new General Manager, knowing that the Giants had already selected Mr. Daboll. Much worse, on Thursday, January 27, 2022, Mr. Flores had to give an extensive interview for a job that he already knew he would not get — an interview that was held for no reason other than for the Giants to demonstrate falsely to the League Commissioner Roger Goodell and the public at large that it was in compliance with the Rooney rule.”

Some "friends" are fleeting, Bill. Of course, Belichick never struck me as the type to have friends anyway.


New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick is many things. One of them is a coward, according to Donald Trump. Yahoo Sports columnist Charles Robinson reported Sunday on a forthcoming book, ”This Will Not Pass: Trump, Biden, and the Battle for America’s Future,” which is due to hit bookstands in May.

One of the items discussed is Trump’s attempt to give Belichick the Presidential Medal of Freedom shortly before leaving office in 2021. However, in light of the Capitol insurrection, Belichick declined the honor. And that didn’t sit well with Trump, according to an excerpt obtained by Yahoo Sports.

“One of the rejections that had bothered him the most had come from Bill Belichick, the legendary coach of the New England Patriots who had declined Trump’s attempt to grant him the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
In the immediate aftermath of the riot, it was just not possible for him to appear with Trump. Back then, Trump said, Belichick had “chickened out.”

But get this, Trump claims: The coach had just a week earlier been playing golf at Trump’s nearby course. Trump had run into him there on the second-to-last hole. “He came up to me on the seventeenth,” the former commander-in-chief recounted with relish.
Stretching credulity for anyone familiar with Belichick’s gruff persona, Trump claimed: “He hugged me and kissed me.”

Another "end game" achievement unlocked...


Bill Belichick moved into sole possession of second place on the all-time wins list as the visiting New England Patriots defeated the New York Jets 22-17 on Sunday at MetLife Stadium.

Belichick now has 325 wins (regular season and postseason), with Sunday's game breaking a tie with Hall of Famer George Halas, the longtime Chicago Bears coach (40 years). Don Shula holds the all-time mark with 347 victories.

Belichick downplayed the milestone, crediting players and saying: "Maybe we'll talk about that when it's over, add them up at the end."

However, Patriots owner Robert Kraft presented Belichick with a game ball for his achievement.
