With the new story coming out about Pats linebacker Ted Johnson playing with a concussion (because Mr. Belichick told him to), some big similarities are being drawn between art and real-life (if the NFL is considered "real-life").
That's right, one Bill Belichick is acting more like 22-time District Champion Bud Kilmer from Varsity Blues. Check it out:
- Two coaches with more success that any other in their respective leagues.
- Both are considered untouchable by criticism from fans and media (except for hugs).
- Now, in declining years, both are so desperate for a win they will push players further and ruin futures for their own selfish ways.
Ok, so the last one may be a stretch for Bill, but still. You really think Ted Bruschi "came back" from a stroke that quickly under his own free will? My Aunt had a stroke 5 years ago, and she won't be anywhere near getting back on the Patriots for at least another 18 months. Other than those, let's look at the other story lines:
- One great, go-to QB gets injured, another steps in and takes his place with great success.
- Tough, good running backs that get no where near the credit the QB's do.
- Whip-cream bikinis.
Now, I doubt any of the Patriots teachers are strippers, and I don't think any own a pig, but it still works. Will there be a coup in the 2007 season? Will an injured Drew Bledsoe take over coaching duties? We'll have to see. But unconfirmed reports have brought us the following quote from Ted Johnson to Belichick:
"I. Don't want. Your life."
