Belichick put out a statement Monday after a report surfaced he would receive it later this week.

Absolutely! He is only concerned with his personal viability going forward. I had always given him the benefit of the doubt and uh...no more.

All great football coach had a great quarterback. Belichick lucked out. Tom Brady was picked in the sixth round, so they certainly weren't looking to build a franchise around him. If it hadn't been for Mo Lewis cheap shotting Drew Bledsoe after he was out of bounds, Tom Brady would be selling insurance and Bill Belichick would be coaching Detroit, (after a stint in Jacksonville)...

>>He shouldn’t be allowed to get it next week.

Right. If you decline it, you need to do something else to earn a second one.

Not being an NFL couch potato, I only said ‘why’ when I saw the report that Belichick was going to get a medal of freedom.

Well, wait until Biden is in there. He will give you the Cy Young award.

Do people talk before things like this are announced? Good heavens. It does put Bill in an awkward spot being in the NFL and all. No idea what this award would mean to him, did he do anything to deserve it? Ah anyway, it’s not right that accepting a medal from the President could mean he loses the team and no longer coaches, but here we are.

Why did President Trump do this? Who cares about a football coach?

I respect and admire President Trump, but under the circumstances I’d rather see him scorch the earth and destroy some socialists on his way out.

Dear President Trump,
a noble gesture on your behalf
and
this idiot intended-recipient has made an ass of himself

not to worry (like who cares if someone that 99.99999 percent of the world has never even heard of... accepts or declines an award?? this has to be the least newsworthy event of the week, ha!)

the vast majority of Americans respect and thank you very much for all your fine efforts on behalf of our nation
