The story is there but no one wants to report it. Two friends are local sports reporters, who do free lance national work. They have colleague and classmates that work for all the Boston sports teams. Malcolm Butler ranked 12th out of 64 starting DBs his first year. The year of the Eagles Super Bowl he dropped all the way down to 48 out of 64. He wanted a contract extension was showing the behavior that left him going undrafted. The week of the Super Bowl Malcolm Butler said he may give his best during the Super Bowl if he didn't get a contract. After a season's worth of poor behavior and then threatening to throw the Super Bowl they benched him. His first year with the Titans Butler finished DEAD LAST, 64 out of 64 in the NFL.

"Snookered"

[@HawgWyldFishing]

Snookered is a term from the billiards game, Snooker. Which more or less means that you have given your opponent a nearly impossible shot to make, by hiding the object ball from the cue ball, by placing another ball between the two. So your opponent has no safe way to take a shot at the object ball straight on. Essentially forcing them to take a safer shot, that has a much higher chance of leaving you with an easy straight shot and an opportunity to make multiple shots in a row.

People criticize Tom for that last Patriots Super Bowl he was going against Aaron Donald and Suh as well as a bunch of other veteran studs! He didn't play great I'm a Brady apologist but I can admit that but he did what he had to do to win the game. However that Patriot defense that won them the Super Bowl easily could have lost them the game against Mahomes but Brady went score for score with Patrick to get them to that Super Bowl that the defense won for them So you don't take away anything from Brady or the defense because it's a team game and sometimes your balanced and when and sometimes one carries the other.

Hard to know what Bill knew about Aaron Hernandez before drafting him. I've see reports that some other teams removed Hernandez from their draft boards because of what they knew about him.

[@ppumpkin3282]

Bill was always a "bottom fisher" in the draft. Always looking for a player that was discounted by other teams for some reason that he could get with a lower pick than his value. Gronk was underestimated by other teams because he was injured most of his college career. But Bill had a vision of two tight ends who could block and catch. He then could have an offense that could block heavy with a running game, including his usual full back, or they could pass. Keeps defenses on edge. Many teams now are still trying to emulate it, but its hard to find two good TE's that can block and catch. Belichick was a genius, but he never appreciated how much Brady made his system work.

Tom Brady should have NEVER been shown the door , encouraged to leave, treated poorly, HE WAS THE FRANCHISE PERIOD!!!! New England will FOREVER REGRET allowing him to finish his career elsewhere. Huge mistake to end the dynasty like that.

[@marcuscastillo514]

But just made his career even better being able to win somewhere else in his first season. I think if he won in Tampa after maybe 3 seasons that would be impressive, but he did it in his first season and that makes him God tier

[@scottowens8474]

@@marcuscastillo514 oh I agree. He goes there they open out the gate that year and struggled to a 7-5 start at the bye he goes off on everyone demands some of his offense gets injected into the game plan and they don't lose again the rest of that yr winning the Superbowl against Mahomes and the Chiefs. Did nothing except separate himself from Belichick by doing that and then retires after 3 seasons in Tampa with a winning record overall 2 division titles back to back 3 playoff appearances and a Superbowl win over his heir apparent. Hard to end a 23 yr career any better than that. They really oughtta do away with the 5 yr wait period go ahead and enshrine him and give him his own wing by himself far as I'm concerned.

Sad thing is Tampa was in perfect position to go back to back they were better in 2021 but it all fell apart in that Saints shut game “knee gate” as I call it Godwin went out for the season on dirty hit which setup AB feeling like he had all the leverage and then T Wirfs went down and they were still a broken play from beating Rams

Ridiculous Kraft propaganda. He wasn't even a tenth as important as Bellicheck to the Pats success

Dynasty*

[@pickettmandi]

Old Tom Brady beat Mahomes in his prime, and in his house. Don't ever forget that.

[@joplinleo]

@@pickettmandi Tom beat the defense and Mahomes played the Patriots defense. I also remember the Patriots under Tom being absolutely destroyed by Alex Smith, your point? Not sure what any of that has to do with a Dynasty* marred by more than one instance of cheating.
