If Bill Belichick accepts the Medal of Freedom from President Trump, he should resign as Patriots head coach immediately.

Patriots head coach Bill Belichick has steadfastly refused to speak out of turn about anything non-football-related over his two-plus decades as head coach of the team.

Want to talk details of the loss that just reached the final whistle? Too bad; he’s onto Cincinnati, and you should be, too.

So, why is it that, at the tail end of the week when an armed mob of President Trump’s supporters stormed the Capitol building with zip ties and guns, intending to take the government hostage until they donated a second term to their megalomaniac temporary boss, Belichick stayed completely quiet, allowing a report to leak that he’d been offered the Medal of Freedom?
