Bill has a really huge opportunity in media.

[@chrisslaughter8448]

i think he’s really testing the waters for it. as soon as there’s an opportunity to he a head coach again though i think he’s take it in a heartbeat. it’s been great what we’ve seen from him in such a short time.

[@theveryaverage]

Media has a really huge opportunity in Bill

[@flippnbricks2o8]

I’m kind of rooting for him. A lot of his players threw shade on him in that dynasty series on Apple TV. I thought it was a little unfair, but whatever I wasn’t there.

@@flippnbricks2o8yeah I heard that it was a proKraft hit piece on Bill

[@kb909]

This nine minute video contained more of Bill talking than I’ve heard in the previous 25 years of my life combined

[@tonyflanagan6312]

That's a fact ✅

[@stickman1742]

Listening to sports radio in Boston, I was lucky to hear him talk a lot when on with media people who weren't jerks. It was always great. Unfortunately, Boston sports media is filled with mostly complete a-holes trying to make a name for themselves. Bill would have no part in it and wouldn't give them the time of day. Most in sports put up with it, but he never would. That's why they hate him. Sports would be better if many in the media were weeded out, but not much can be done about it.

[@DontTreadOnUsBlog]

I mean... he used to do weekly film breakdowns of top plays from their last game and then another breaking down the upcoming opponent on the team site. Multiple Football Life specials, multiple Do Your Job specials, 30 for 30 with Parcells, special with Saban, ect. I get everyone has the perception of tight lipped podium Bill, but he's honestly done a shitton of talking over the years haha.

[@rondo8785]

💯%

[@HawgWyldFishing]

@@stickman1742unfortunately those people in the media exist solely because the team owners pay them to set narratives in a certain direction whenever they need to. Such as the hit pieces that have been suddenly appearing since Bills departure from the Pats.?those didn’t just happen because of the local Boston rumor mill. Somebody paid for that stuff to be written up in a story, and fed just enough of one side of a story, to make it seem favorable for the person paying for it, without ever openly hinting that that would be the case. Billionaire team owners who need their ego to be stroked are just such people.

[@spirenguard]

I need more Bill on this show, please have Connor do an hour long one on one interview with him.

[@ryant390]

He may never come back if he’s alone with Connor that long

[@murph4lyfe]

Have Donnie don don do the interview bill would love that

[@ryta1203]

I bet Bill thinks Connor is obnoxious.

[@michaellocastro8710]

u think boston connor should interview him? connor is literally the worst on the pod💀💀💀

[@mynamebashbarti]

Man seeing Bill getting into media makes me smile, it’s funny because dude is a grandpa but it’s so pure. You can tell he’s passionate and really give it his all. I hope he ends up on the Fox pregame show with the rest of the old timers.

[@chillbilling2743]

The audio person really fucked this one up

[@pkasper10]

🤣

[@monty1691]

they were at the draft it was loud...

[@WiFiRy]

Is Bill becoming PMS's own insider on the scene?

[@alexlindsey6446]

Hard to say but i would predict we will see much more of Bill on McAfee's show at least for 2024 season. Bill seems to enjoy this and it's obvious he has affection for Pat. The respect that Bill brings to anything is so admirable. That is one man who does things the right way. Fully prepared and then some. Nobody will ever accuse Bill Belichick of mailing it in on ANYTHING in life.

[@mbprivate4788]

Literally can’t get more inside than the guy whose brain is the center of the NFL universe

[@dannys472]

How's it even possible to capture that much background noise with lavalier microphones?

[@REVIVALFitness]

Might be the same guy who misspells their thumbnails and titles constantly

[@dclomg5]

​@@REVIVALFitness Haha!! So true. That stuff bothers me more than it should. A quick spellcheck b4 uploading and checking grammar real quick isn't that hard and takes maybe 5 seconds. It's not like a comment; it's a title that goes out to thousands. It's embarrassing.

[@ZackGPTOfficial]

Bill on this show is the first time I've been glued to these episodes

[@ParadiseTCG]

Coach is a real boss, screw the dynasty documentary

[@patricklemire9278]

I hope everyone bands together and keeps Kraft out of HOF. It was crappy bid to make himself look like the mastermind at the expense of his coach. Players and coaches need to make Kraft be a posthumous inductee if that .

[@n8doggy733]

Man im a Pats fan but im liking Bill even more....like he talks about any "topic" im listening

[@tinosmo1]

I never thought I was see the day where Bill Belichick became a media correspondent lol

[@bobbywyatt3]

Pat had the best pre draft, draft & post draft coverage period. Watching the climb as a lifelong WVU fan has been amazing.

[@zacharylowe8083]

We need Bill in a coaching role. He’s earned it. Unbelievable that he’s not hired right now

[@seanm600]

I’m sure he will. But for now this stuff is a great opportunity for him

[@Kps3030]

He wants to be a coach?

[@ralfs8447]

THIS is class A journalism!! You can say about Pat what ever you want, but it is no accident, that he gets more out of Bill, than a decade of press conference guys in their wildest dreams.

[@GSP-76]

I don't think ive seen Bill smiling this much if you combined the last 5 years of his life together lol.

[@HawgWyldFishing]

Probably like 10-15 years combined to add up to the last week of working with Pat

[@bruhbruhhh6592]

During the spectacular he was giggling at Mad Mel and I couldn't believe it dawg, hate the pats but good for Billy B

[@openthemind1244]

Bill talking AND smiling AND laughing?! *FLAG* 15-yard penalty for unnecessary use of AI.

[@popcrnshower]

Extroverted Bill is amazing

[@raygrunzinger1815]

More time with the draft board was needed. Just beginning to understand how Belichick could make his predictions. The draft board was one of the most fascinating things about draft night. And you were so lucky to have Belichick who is the EXPERT in setting it up.

Pat you are changing the media and journalism game! These guys wouldn't do this for just anybody. This is great!

As a Cowboys fan, I’d take Bill as our Coach and GM in a split second.. the skin on his elbow knows more about football than Jerry Jones.

[@rytheguy18gaming87]

great interview

[@richardhausig9493]

Bill is good at this. I'm a Jets fan but I can't hate him. He's really good at what he does.

[@alexlindsey6446]

I love it when Belichick smiles ... it's so genuine. Beginning around 4:33 after Goodell kids him about yelling at the referees....."ME?!" Great moment.

[@bgwhalley]

I'm still shocked nobody hired Bill as a coach. Are you kidding me?!

[@Darin451]

I never realized Bill really had such a sense of humor until I saw him on Pat's draft show thur night and then this video. Bill is awesome and i hope we see more of him this year

[@stickman1742]

He was always great in Boston when he talked to the few members in the media he liked. Most media members are vultures looking for a scandal so he avoids them like the plague. That's why they always show him looking grumpy. When he is around good trustworthy people he's always been great. The media jackasses are a loss for all of us. The reality is, everyone playing in these leauges hate the media members guts. They put up with them because they have to, but they absolutely detest most of them.

[@wishingb5859]

Bill nailed all of it! He prepared for this job as well as he prepared for Patriot Games! Thanks, Pat, for giving him a chance.

[@thecicimak9063]

You got it wrong,Bill gave Pat a chance!

[@RGVSeven]

I know bill had to hold back on his true thoughts. With talking about the hip tackle. Lmao

[@Lakingsfan140]

You can easily tell none of them were telling the truth. You know they have different opinions but can’t say it especially bill.

[@limitedbom2206]

My favorite part is about refs, rodger specifically brought up that chiefs offside because the amount of bitching their fans, players, and coaches did about that was insane. How spoiled do you have to be that the entire viewing audience can see he's offside and you're throwing tantrums like a toddler (looking at you specifically pat mahomes).

[@bruhbruhhh6592]

I mean sure. But also, he brought up the one example that everyone agrees with to deflect from how piss poor officiating has been overall

[@MidNS]

This show really is big time if you got those two to talk

[@cy4330]

BB should host his own show. Love listening to him, no BS just tons of true football insights and experiences.

[@HelluvaPatriot]

Hopefully BB is a reoccurring guest on PMS...it was a topic that kinda got glazed over on Draft Night...but, I want BB on this show in a more permanent role somehow.

[@nickbuick]

Why are they so against officials being fulltime. Are the 450 billion zillion dollars in revenue from sports gambling, merchandizing and franchise fees etc not enough to pay 100 people 75k a year each?

Bill with the full time ref comment 💯 Also bill saying add cameras he’s 💯 right on this in my opinion. Make it happen. Its easy. Will take out a lot of controversy.

[@HackedFishing]

I love seeing this side of bill. It's unbelievable

[@kyleperry2568]

Imagine if Goodell just kept saying "we're on to the draft" over and over

[@drew8653]

1) Another thing that makes the NFL the greatest league on earth is each game actually means something. I love basketball and baseball, but most of the time any individual game just doesn’t have nearly as much as stake as a football game does. 2) Quit showing Bill, it’s making it hard for me to keep hating him. It turns out he’s a fun guy to listen to and - it goes without saying - he knows his stuff!

[@tooslowbum5921]

One thing for sure is with the new kickoff you will see kickers trying to kick it out the end zones alot more for touch backs

[@idewmeth4203]

The exact opposite is going to happen lol

[@sirdollfin5448]

This is a distraction from how bad the nfl is going with how soft the nfl rules are. I love Pat and the show but it feels like ever since the epsn contract we've been seeing how these rules are "good news"

[@user-ud7ko4cq1n]

The smartest thing Dana White ever did, was embrace being an "in front of the mic" type of CEO. Part of the reason Roger Goodell has been so hated, is that he usually hides behind league memos and rigid formal press events. That doesn't cut it anymore to the younger generations. We want sports CEO's to be mixing it up on sports talk shows with common and wide-ranging press availability. It helps fans see their perspective on controversies and judge if they have a point or not. When they hide in their ivory tower, fans are going to default to disliking them, and fans should. Sports CEO's are paid obscene amounts of money. They owe it to their fans to take the heat and explain themselves in a casual environment where they haven't had time to prepare for every question they receive.

[@coburgerj1993]

I hope Bill & Nick can save football through their post coaching endeavors. Regulators round up
