There is no way to deny the sheer impressiveness associated with this man, and frankly I'm tired of the press casting doubts about his greatness every time a tiny chink in the armor appears, as was the case last night. Billick outcoach Belichick? Are you kidding me? Don't you know who you are talking about?
Bill.
You are talking about The Bill. The Mad Croatian who's name translates to the Shortening of the Way in English. The man who once made Eric Mangini's eyebrows fall off by staring intently at him for several minutes. You better stop and consider the forces you are messing with here. I'm not going to be responsible if this happens again. Doubt him at your own peril.
Let's run down his list of accomplishments and regain some perspective:
