Bill Belichick

I'm trying to understand what all the fuss is about. He's got a girlfriend who is young enough to be his granddaughter, but that's neither a crime, nor frankly frankly that unusual when it comes to older men of great fame, wealth, or both. I think people are just making fun of Belichick because he's not the guy you'd expect to be dating a 24-year old, and all that implies. He and Andy Reid would be the guys you'd probably least expect to go down that path.

I think it’s less about her age, and more of the fact he spent nearly 50 years cultivating a brand of “zero distractions - do you job and win football games.” And now his life is slowly turning into a TLC reality show. The fact the root of all of that is a 24 year old girlfriend, just makes it the easiest talking head fodder available.

The minute she thinks she has enough of his money secured to be set for life she will be out the door, Belichick knows this and will keep her around as long as he can. Apparently it is worth it to him to have the company of a beautiful woman in her early twenties while he is an average looking guy at best in his early seventies.

Whether right or wrong a 50 year age gap would be interesting and discussed whether you’re a famous coach or some random guy from a small town. Difference in scale of course given his fame but he’s not being treated differently than anyone else in that regard.

I still can't wrap my head around the fact that she was a newborn when he was celebrating his first Super Bowl victory with the Patriots, shortly before turning 50. It's almost like she was just waiting in incubation for his NFL retirement.

Myself I have no problem in that regard:
