Great documentary. Really makes me miss those dynasty days. I didn't appreciate them as a fan like I should've. Couple of thoughts:
- Rare to see someone that happy as you saw when Jimmy won the National Championship
- Loved the whole story about how Jerry wanted to take credit for the Casilas trade, and what he told Jimmy about it. Very telling. Again, goes back to what has been said on this forum time and time again: Jerry wants credit. Wants to be one of the guys.
- Belichick looked completely uncomfortable and awkward on that boat.
- Jimmy's wife is a stone cold fox for a 70 year old, or however old she is.
- Barry and Lacewell sitting together. One looks like he's got 50 years of life ahead of him, the other looks like he belongs in the ICU.
- Really amazing how that circle (Lacewell/Jones/Jimmy/Switzer) kept crossing paths throughout time.
It just seemed like although driven, Jimmy was a dick to him
I disagree about Bellicheck. I thought Bellicheck looked at him as an equal and really enjoyed sharing there knowledge of the game with each other.
I hate Jerry to the core, but in a way I can understand why he wanted to be the part of it. Jimmy could have relaxed a little with Jimmy and gave him some nuggets to work with.

I wasn't suggesting BB isn't in the same class as a coach or isn't an equal to Jimmy. I meant that he literally looked awkward on that boat like he didn't belong on a fishing boat. Looked out of place.
Eh. I can agree with that to degree. At that same time, you don't get to where those two were in their respective profession without an ego the size of Texas. I think it chapped Jimmys ass to see Jerry on air taking credit for things he (Jimmy) did. And that 500 coaches comment was way out of line. There isn't a person alive who wouldn't take exception to that.
The whole mean mugging when the old man just wants to make a toast.... yeah, unneccessary. But it is what it is.
Granted, we're both guilty of copyright infringement, but I did it first.
