Now this is a coach that thinks about every detail! He probably had his staff prepare a five day earthquake survival kit for all players and coaches.

It sounds looney tooney but I think one day

There is going to be a big scandal involving his Patriot years (the ones so far seem smallish). How has he been successful for so long?! I mean even the best teams get decimated by injury one year in ten! This is football, not baseball. Injuries occur, rule changes happen on a yearly basis, players decline hell GMs, coaches, coordinators, team doctors make bad calls....yet some how the patriots lead tha division and are top three in that conference for coming up on twenty years! you can't tell me there is something fishy going on......I'll take my aluminum foil hat off now....

according to the TB12 method, the secret sauce is hydration and pilates.
I mean REALLY....they are so successful

Brady can market a cheesy gimick like this and get away with it. I will say, as much as i envy/hate Brady's success, he seems like a pretty decent guy. excluding the TB12 method!

to your initial point, I also wouldn't be surprised if there has been other shady business that comes to light - between spying on practices of opponents, deflategate, not reporting concussions, you know they are trying to find every single edge. it would not surprise me one bit if they sent escorts to the hotel rooms of refs or pumped trace amounts of cannabis smoke into visitor's locker rooms
Okay Bill..

Personally I wouldn’t be in any big rush to do it again,” Belichick said Monday during his weekly appearance on WEEI radio. “It’s a long way to go for a game..."

1) Hey Roger, can you take a hint.
2) Since the Pats stayed out west after playing Denver,
Bill's team didn't have a long way to go...oh BB.
He's simply the best coach ... ever.

He knows the rules, he walks the fine line, he lives for details. Maybe he's the reincarnation of GS Patton. If not a football coach, he'd be a great general (or admiral).

They've had their share of big name injuries, lost coaches to other teams, lost or released big name players, etc. over that timeframe. In my observation from living in NE, BB either finds players that fit into his scheme, or schemes depending on the skill sets of the players he has. Doesn't ask anyone to do too much, or do anything they can't do competently. And they all buy into it.
They also play in a crappy division

I love everything about him. I thought Spygate was a joke and Delflategate, a fake issue for Goodell to make amends to owners who thought the Pats go off lightly for Spygate, was even more of a joke.

The Pats are leading the NFL again in fewest turnovers with new, tighter rules for ball inspection. So whatever advantage some conjured up about the softer football giving the Pats a turnover advantage has started to be dispelled. The league could dip the ball in oil before every play and Belichick would figure out a way to make it work to the team's benefit. He's just ahead of his time as a coach - like Paul Brown, Dean Smith, Greg Popovich, Cael Sanderson, etc.

And, like all great coaches, he is blessed with a player who has a PhD in their craft. Brady in this case...

He's actually a lot like Don Schula. Per Bum Phillips: "He can his'n and beat yours'n and take yours'n and beat his'n..."
