O’Mallion Hampton in Bilbericchick joins the Tar Heels in North Carolina
Former North Carolina RB O’Malion Hampton just missed out on Bill Belichick’s reign of the Tar Heels, but instead chose his NFL dream.
Seriously sports
I first met Bill Belichick decades ago. It was after training camp practice. We spoke briefly, but in 20 minutes he packed a lot of football, ideas, beliefs and strategies into the conversation.
More conversations continue. The soccer on top of the football is wrapped in a large football. When you spend more time around the Patriots, you will notice something else: Belichick ran his team with an iron fist. This is not news speed. Many people know this. It only repeats at this moment when you see Belichick’s personal life overflowing like a teenage Vogue cover story.
For those who may not be completely unaware of this, you need to understand this. Now, when North Carolina coach Belichick ruled the Patriots for over 20 years, it was the most relentless, most strictly controlled organization in the history of the NFL, and perhaps the history of professional sports in America. There wasn’t much looser on my lips. Leaks occurred, but they were rare. Patriot players were worried about saying the wrong thing to the media, so they didn’t irritate the head coach.
Many of the organizations were in super-large secret lockdowns. This was this way for almost the entire tenure of Belichick. And he rarely talked about his personal life. It was in Cincinnati. I’m going to watch the movie. Do your job. You can only control what you can control. Player expressions and beliefs were often suppressed for the benefit of the system. Former Cincinnati Bengals Wideout TJ Haumanzadeh once mentioned the Patriot player:
And what about his personal life? pftttt. Almost never. The Patriot method was to dismantle everyone in their personality for the benefit of the organization. To that end, Belichick has made it himself.
Belichick, which we now see, is so foreign, because he lives such a public life with all sorts of personal dramas and Instagram messages and human messaging, alien, it’s like this:
Belichick was sometimes messy professional life. There were Spygate and Deflategate. There was a gate. But personally? There is almost nothing publicly.
What we are looking at from Belichick now is in a way good. He abandoned his android exoskeleton to publicly show human frailty and emotions. I love this. He is truly one of us. It also shows that Belichick is struggling with control. Along with the Patriots, he controlled the news. He controlled the football PSI. But now that he’s promoting a new book, the news is in control of him. This should be very uncomfortable for Belichick.
When Belichick’s girlfriend Jordon Hudson repeatedly interrupts Belichick’s interview CBS morningWell, it was absolutely wild to watch. Tom Brady would have been scared to do that. This doesn’t even criticize Hudson. There is an element in this story that Misogyny joins the chat and we all need to be aware of how we describe her.
The point is not messy. That’s what we I’m watching that. If Belichick’s girlfriend had said 10 years ago that he was interrupting him during a TV show about the book he was promoting, I would have laughed at your face.
Or if his girlfriend had said that his girlfriend had released an email sent to a small group of insiders, I wouldn’t have stopped laughing on your face.
There are some emails that are very Belichic and he’s trash who talks about the media.
“This is about what I expected from the media,” reads part of the email. “We have experienced how important it is to put “I (expletive deleted)” in a book, and of course the characteristics of this article. This is mainly about admitting mistakes and talking about Super Bowl mistakes. See what the article title is. I’ve noticed. I accept this article for this.
Then there was this notable part. “I once again see this book as my professional life and how I worked along the way, and as a leader in an organization that played for $10 and grew into a $8 organization that won six Super Bowls in 25 years.
What I heard on that graph is that Belichick has lost control and doesn’t like it. Welcome, Bill!
All of these ask questions:
Who is this Bill Belichick?
And what have you done with his Android body?
