Having John Lynch Won't Clear The Stink That Hovers Around Coach Belichick

Belichick: So Johnny, we just signed you for $1.5 million. Yeah, Yeah, I know you’re a Hall of Famer and maybe you’ll behead Laveraneus Coles on a Favre overthrow. But let’s talk business. You spent four years in Denver, and they look like contenders this season. So where should I hang digital video cameras at the new Mile High?

John Lynch: Coach, I just want to play good football and help out in the community. I think we’re better than Denver anyway. Don’t you think?

Belichick: Come to my office after practice.

It makes Joe sick to see good-guy legend John Lynch join the likes of the Cheatriots.

Oh, well. Let’s hope No. 47 does a curtain call Sunday for the Bucs faithful, and proudly wears the Bucco Bruce hat to Canton one day.
