The New England Patriots are a relentless Super Bowl-winning machine, so dominant and so cold and so merciless that everyone else in the league jumps on any hint of internal discord. And now, they’ve got it: head coach Bill Belichick has cut the privileges Tom Brady’s personal trainer, Alex Guerrero.
Until recently, Guerrero flew on the team’s charter and could walk the sidelines of both home and away games. A business partner of Brady, Guerrero has an office near the Patriots locker room and has treated several players other than Brady.
But now, Belichick has blocked Guerrero from the plane and the sideline, and no players other than Brady may go to Guerrero for treatment at Gillette Stadium.
