A pair of comments made by Jerod Mayo and Robert Kraft didn’t sit well with someone close to Bill Belichick.
Former Patriots executive Mike Lombardi, who co-hosts a podcast with Belichick, ripped into Mayo, Kraft, and the organization after recent criticism made about New England’s former head coach. In an appearance on “The Bill Simmons Podcast,” Lombardi took aim at Mayo for several things, from perceived digs at Belichick to the way he wears his cap during games.
“Mayo, he’s programmed to blame Bill for everything,” said Lombardi, who also worked for the Patriots as an assistant on the coaching staff from 2014-16.
