New Patriot book not much different from others | Opinion

Every couple of years there’s a new book released about some combination of the following: Bill Belichick, Tom Brady, Robert Kraft, the New England Patriots. Which new book always promises to be full of new insights or behind-the-scenes access of some kind or another. This is almost never true, in that the insights are almost never new, the observations are usually pretty bland and predictable, and the access is pretty straightforward. The fact of the matter is, Tom Brady and Bill Belichick aren’t really opening up to anybody on a regular basis, emotionally, and when they do, we’ll know exactly when it’s happening (see: Belichick’s partnership with David Halberstam called The Education of a Coach, which was fantastic).
