In the midst of the offseason slow post-Super Bowl that comes prior to free agency and the NFL Draft, we have to entertain our football minds with exterior facets.
The New England Patriots Back To Being The Center Of The Football World
Thankfully, one of these is the new, 10 part series on the New England Patriots, 2000-2020, aptly named “The Dynasty”, of which the third and fourth episodes just dropped on Thursday evening.
Among telling the story in never-before-seen detail about the Patriots’ 20 year mega dynasty, the show is creating inevitable real-time drama and personal rifts between teammates and coaches.
Former New England Patriot, Danny Amendola, is one who has reemerged from the shadows to praise his former quarterback and take veiled shots at his old boss, Bill Belichick,

Danny Amendola Believes Bill Belichick Lacked True Appreciation For Tom Brady
Alongside declaring that the players’ true allegiance and raison d’etre was Tom Brady, not Belichick, Amendola went on to make some even thinner veiled cracks at the 6 x Super Bowl champion.
“I could’ve gotten the kid from Foxborough High School to tell you that you shouldn’t have let Tom Brady go,”
Some fairly scathing words from one of Tom Brady’s favorite, if perhaps somewhat understated targets, outside of his infamous relationship off the field with Olivia Culpo.
Even more damning is the hidden context of the statement, as Belichick’s go-to mock and jibe at his players was to compare them to the children of Foxborough High School. So in these words, Amendola manages to finally get back at the coach who ridiculed him, amongst many others, for multiple years.
What Next For Belichick?
However, regardless of the outpour from this, Belichick is still the greatest coach of all time, for the moment, and gets a year to reflect before deciding whether to continue coaching, as many believes he would be inclined to, or finally retire.
Despite his age, many expect Belichick, alongside fellow ex-Patriot, Mike Vrabel, to be amongst the prime candidates for the 2025 coach hiring cycle, and some are even placing pre-emptive pressure on Dallas Cowboys head coach, Mike McCarthy, in anticipation of a potential coaching change for “America’s Team”.
Even so, we will wait and see what unfolds, and enjoy more of this deep dive into what is often considered to be the greatest sporting dynasty of all time.
