Mike Freeman's 10-Point Stance: Belichick Derangement Syndrome Strikes Again

1. Another BDS victim

My favorite Bill Belichick story goes like this:

When Belichick was head coach of the Browns, an official from the league office came to the team's facility for a planned visit. Belichick was supposed to have gathered the team for the visit. The official found him in a dark room, watching film. The door was open, but the official knocked anyway. Courtesy and all. Belichick didn't move. Knock, knock. Still nothing. Anyone there? Finally, Belichick looked away from the team, but only momentarily—just long enough to tell the official he didn't have time to get the team together.
