He's right that I question the notion of 'football experts', i.e. checkmarked dudes on Twitter or dudes who talk on ESPN. I don't think those guys have any particular deep knowledge, and I think that's pretty much borne out by the evidence. That's true of most sports too; Shaq is an all time great NBA player, played in the league for decades, and has spent the last however many years talking NBA on TV every night but he still says ridiculous things constantly. You could argue his experience makes him 'an expert', or you could actually look at the things he says and recognize that he doesn't have some deep understanding of the game that many others without his resume also have.
You're absolutely correct that he is misrepresenting what I've said about Belichick though; I've never said he 'isn't an expert, but merely the beneficiary of Tom Brady' or really anything even remotely close to that. That's an extrapolation of my question regarding Belichick's record without Brady, which of course Tempo doesn't want to talk about because it kind of sheds some light on how dumb some of the things he says are.
Oddly enough, Lombardi was railing against ESPN's coverage of the NFL and, apparently, Ostrovsky's, or whatever his name is, calling for Fields to demand a trade that Tempo appears to have posted, in his podcast.
Yeah, makes you wonder about Belichick since the record is not great without Brady. Yet, obviously, he did come up with some great defensive game plans to win Super Bowls. He has also blown a couple though, like that Giants game, and was gifted a couple due to the other team's sheer incompetence (Seahawks, Falcons).
I'm on Team Spark on this one.
