I'll admit that I've had some issues with Bill Belichick over the years but there's no way to deny his coaching ability. He's a great coach by any standard. In Bill Belichick: A Football Life, now playing on the NFL Network, he was miked up for the entire 2009 season. His team, the New England Patriots, played the Saints that year. That immediately had my interest because the Saints scored a signature win that Monday night. Anyway, the show has some insight into his normal work day and normal game day but not much. To be honest, it looked like he had total editorial control. The nuns who taught me English at Our Lady of Perpetual Help would call that essay flowery. Worth seeing, though.

"I'll admit that I've had some issues with the Devil over the years but there's no way to deny his deviling ability." There, fixed that for you. ;)
Okay, that's over the top. It still sounds like that documentary is an infomercial for the Dark Side though.
Not exactly, Dave. We don't see the Dark Side at all. All we get to see, for the most part, is Obi-Wan Belichick. Darth is off in a closet somewhere.
My issues with him are the PatriotGate thing and the running-up-the-score thing: Brady playing late into a 59-0 beating of the Titans in 2009 and even later into a 52-7 beating of the Redskins in 2007 and claiming they were "just trying to run their offense". When he was on the other side of a beating far less severe against the Saints, he threw in the towel with over 5 minutes left and yanked Brady.
