Bill Belichick’s hot seat in New England has grown hotter than ever. One notable Patriots fan isn’t happy about it.
Comedian Bill Burr criticized Patriots fans and media members who questioned whether Belichick should remain the team’s head coach in the midst of their 2-8 season during an appearance on “The Rich Eisen Show.” In the seven-minute-long clip, the Canton native questioned why anyone would ever want the Patriots to replace Belichick considering his success, arguing that people are just looking to spice up a discussion.
“That whole conversation about him, that they’re going to fire him, is just scuttlebutt invented by the local radio, where they were just like, ‘It’s just the time,'” Burr said, mimicking sports talk radio hosts.
