PREDICTION: ..this could be Belichik's FINAL GAME as a Head Coach in the NFL.

WIN or LOSE, the media is going to crucify him for all the dirt
they are going to uncover after the Superbowl..

..Goodell and the NFL just can't have it. Walt Disney can't have it. AMERICA–CAN'T–HAVE–IT.

The other conscious and decent NFL owners have really had enough of this continuous BS..

These athletes and the coaches are intended to be role models sa much as possible
(they are clearly flawed human beings as we all are).

BUT, the NFL would like to retain that 'All-American Boy Next Door" which is (was) the American Dream

While it is impossible to do so, as society and culture become ever-more
abrasive/corroded.. fixing games, and cheating is COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE–
..and cannot be tolerated, WILL NOT be tolerated.

I expect that Commissioner Roger Goodell to make circumstances unmanageable for Belichik/Kraft to the point where everybody understands that the best thing for the Patriots
would be for Belichik to disappear.

As it is, if Belichik is left in this position, next year will be a logistical nightmare for the
image oriented New England Patriots/Golden-Boy Tom Brady. (as A-Rod was for the Yankees)

Yankees road games in A-Rod's final season were filled with the opposing team's fans
jeering the Yanks and holding huge cut-out cartoons of syringes.. which is a NIGHTMARE
SCENARIO for the MLB's marquis franchise led by then Derek jeter.

the Patriots will likely suffer a similar fate with Belichik as coach, endless chants
of "CHEAT-ERS--CHEAT-ERS" will be too much for this franchise (or Goodell, or the networks) to endure.

I think this may be it. NO MORE Belichik.

and if that is indeed the case–
we are all sorry that you were ever trusted
with the position of Head Coach in the NFL.

you are a blemish on position held by greats of this league:
Lombardi, Landry, Shula, Knoll, Walsh and others

Good Riddance ass-wipe.
