That's just me.

On a side note of the hall of fame debate, let's be assured that Tom Brady is a shoe in for the hof, and he rightly should be. People get too caught up in stats and numbers, but when you are leading your team to the Super Bowl almost every single freakin' year, you don't have to have the best stats in the NFL to be considered a future Hall of Famer. With that said, I still hate the New England Patriots and I dislike Brady, the player.

Brady and Belichik are products of one another - a perfect marriage of clutch QB and great X's and O's coach. Belichik was widely regarded as a D-coordinator in over his head before Brady fell into his lap (thanks no less to a Bledsoe injury). I doubt Belichik wins any of his Super Bowls without Brady since they were all decided by 3 points or less. On another note, both are very fortunate to have had Adam Vinatieri as their kicker. It would be very ironic if the AFC Championship came down to a Vinatieri FG at the gun.
