What I find so odd and off putting are the people still indulging in the idiotic ‘Brady or Belichick?’ nonsense, now supplemented by an equally specious ‘Should we blame Belichick or the Krafts?’ when discussing BB’s departure.
JFC, we as a fanbase had two-plus decades of unparalleled success thanks to savvy, supportive, homegrown ownership along with two of the GOATs at their respective jobs. It’s almost definitely never happening to any franchise in any sport ever again. It’s to be celebrated (there may be a thread on this somewhere) and, at this time, yes, mourned as well.
So, let the Felgers and Adam Joneses of the world piss and moan and play pointless blame games. At least they get paid to be assholes. But for those of us with eyes to see, these were the very best of times, when excellence was achieved again and again and again—and three more times after that. We got to witness something great, something beautiful in its own way, something most sports fans will never experience. I’ll always get a chill and a thrill remembering it all.
