When something special ends, that sentimental didn’t-we-have-it-so-good? mood that often accompanies a final scene can make revisiting the beginning of it all irresistible.
Especially when you’re not entirely convinced that it had to end. And probably never will be.
That’s where I find myself a few days and multiple wild NFL playoff and coaching plot twists after Patriots owner Robert Kraft (and to some degree, presumably a large one, his son Jonathan) decided to fire Bill Belichick last week after 24 seasons, nine Super Bowl appearances, six Super Bowl victories, and two back-to-back ugly seasons to close his tenure.
