Congrats to the Patriots. As a somewhat chagrined and embarrassed Chiefs(Chefs?)fan, I have been watching the Pats for a number of years now. i don't follow them closely but do of course catch the highlights and pay attention to their greatest asset; Bill Belichick. I have been as impressed with his coaching as any coach I can remember watching in the last 35 years. Especially his take no prisoners approach to the first Superbowl he coached. John "Boom" Madden was just having a hissy fit when Belichick went for the win at the end of regulation instead of kneeling and taking a chance in OT. This sort of thinking outside the normal coaching channel is why he is the BEST in the business. I have been a serious Pats admirer ever since watching that Superbowl. The guy is flat out driven. When he is speaking to his men on the sidelines, their eyes are focused like lasers on his. They BELIEVE in his coaching and PAY ATTENTION to what he is saying. It is no wonder they win so many games. I realise talent has much to do with this but who would have thought that a sixth round QB like Brady would be where he is without some serious tutelage? Talk about coaching. The guy loses both of his co-ordiantors in one year and the team still beats the crap out of just about everybody they play. The have cut supposedly "integral" parts of their team like Viniteri and the WR(can't remember the name)and just keep winning. It reminds me of Shanahan at Denver. Just keep plugging guys in and winning. Except Belichick does it even better. Sorry guys, I know I sound like a Pats fanboy. I truly am a Chefs fan(well, it depends on how long they leave Herm/Carl here)but as an NFL fan I just can't get over the Patriots. Go Pats and add number four to the list.
