Well....let's pretend that the ESPN story is crap....Kraft, Brady and BB all have denied it.....what would they need to say to convince you that it is indeed crap.....you have a load of " unknown " sources versus the 3 individuals in question saying it's baloney.....
Belichick will coach the Patriots in 2018...I'm 99.99% sure of it....he;s too old to start somewhere else...he still has Brady who's playing at a MVP level and has the best team in the AFC and a top 3 teams in the NFL....
If we've learned anything in the last 18 years is that they care about winning above all else...and staying in NE is his best shot at winning,,,that above all else is why I think he'll be there next year....
That story actually is giving them another " us vs the world" situation and we all know how BB uses those situations into a very focused team...
