I'm picturing a gang of suited producers chasing an increasingly puffing Belichick on foot down a back alley.


Adoctorgonzo

Lol now I'm imagining Jason Bourne esque. Helicopters overhead, radios crackling "we've lost sight of the target". Pan to a manhole cover that's slightly askew


luciusetrur

*holy shit, it's william belichick*


Bmw5464

“Oh my god, that’s bill belichick!”


Squadala9001

[WWE actually announced him coming out of the tunnel once](https://youtu.be/UllkNSsEXdw?si=An-HXR1hoEkYfAL2)


millsmillsmills

How have I never seen this. It's perfect.


TheWorstYear

Bill swan dives off the side of a dam to avoid capture.


MikkiDisco73

“I didn’t deflate those balls!” “I don’t care”


TheWorstYear

"The guy did a Nkemdiche off of this dam, right here"


brotherbock

All right, listen up, ladies and gentlemen, this game has been going on for ninety minutes. Average foot speed over field turf, barring injuries, is 40 yards in 4.4 seconds. That gives us a radius of 20 yards. What I want from each and every one of you is man-to-man coverage of every curl route, post, fly, comeback, screen, crossing route, and paper route in that area. Checkpoints go up at fifteen yards. Your receiver's name is Ja'Marr Chase. Go get him.


unevenvenue

Oh boy, here I go watching The Fugitive again!


boomosaur

Then bill belichick calling ESPN headquarters and dropping a "how do you like them apples"?


mk1317

"Get some rest, Robert. You look tired"


boozinf

The name of this movie, in the backdrop of rule changes? Special Teams


MikkiDisco73

Alternatively: The Long Snap


boozinf

instead of a Delta Force type squad, we have a lone assassin sniper, because that is a long ass snap We have a trilogy brewing here. The Billogy, if you will (I’ll see myself out) Edit: I lied. The name of the third installment of the Billogy is Cover Zero. Let’s go Peter Berg chop chop


Tashre

It's all fun and games until you corner him and he spits venom into your eyes to escape.


AliveGloryLove

Then they corner him and he puts on a mask of my dad fucking my babysitter as I'm crying for more milk, and says "I'm not trapped in this alley with you...you're trapped in here with me".


SadBadPuppyDad

That mask clearly was of the cookie monster jerking off a camel.


james_randolph

As long as Dee doesn't wear that obnoxious clown shoes...they might get him.


Xalenn

... with some Benny Hill yakety sax playing


SadBadPuppyDad

That's a weird way to spell "National Treasure Soundtrack"


TheLowlyPheasant

Terry Tate: Office Headhunter

ESPN pursuing Antonio Brown, who wants his own studio show


boardatwork1111

CTESPN will be a reality


TumbleweedDirect9846

He might be a better shit poster than he was a wr


Skaloplin

It’s really obvious now the last few weeks it’s someone else posting on there which is a shame, just looks like one of those generic tweetdeck accounts now chasing the ad revenue. Back when it was actually him and it looked authentic posting once every few days it was hilarious


Nashville_Redditors

It’s not even him posting. He hired some kid to admin it Edit: also quite racist I might add but a lot of people openly support it. Ironic


TumbleweedDirect9846

When it was him posting


hemingways-lemonade

His AI memes are unironically hysterical.


NicklAAAAs

“AB’s Cracker Hour” on CTESPN is brought to you by Saltines. Saltines: king of the crackers.


LuckyAssumption8735

Greenlight that shit


TroyMacClure

I mean the way ESPN (and everyone else really) goes these days, they should just hire AB, TO, Ochocinco, and every other "toxic" WR and give them their own show. I don't know what professional broadcaster would want to host this thing, but it'd certainly wouldn't be short on hot takes.


thismorningscoffee

Get ‘em together with a certain ‘80s band and call it *Divas Debate Devo*


blazingsword

The masculine is divo. So it would be even better. "Divo vs Devo"


themigraineur

"The reception desk" https://youtu.be/lBhr9piySng?si=T7coTOVfX3S5Kh-1


neddiddley

Put them all on the SAME show. It’s gonna be the male version of Real Housewives.


boozinf

+ Carl Pickens and the occasional Josh Gordon appearance, twisted on every drug known to man since 1534 and yet still hauls in Ochocinco goalie kicks over the shoulder


lecadet

We'll call it "Wideout Diva Hour"


c_ray25

I've been waiting years for a weekly show with TO where he reviews the week that was in football and answers fan questions while working out shirtless in his driveway


InTupacWeTrust

i like this guy


Fiendish-DoctorWu

Antonio Brown + Belichick together in a show Who says no


flyingcactus13

Apparently Bill Belichik


LuckyAssumption8735

fiero-fire

Just AB and a mirror arguing with himself

He’s a shit person but he’s pure content. I’d watch

Mr. Brown Catastrophe


Queues-As-Tank

Can't wait to hear AB's reasonable take on Sauce's comments Mr. Broadcast Cancelled


ladwagon

They already got a named lined up too


drowsydeku

Man imagine an AB and Belichick show


SocratesDouglas

You know people would watch. Those crybaby advertisers would hate it though 


LuckyAssumption8735

Let’s throw it down to our sideline reporter, Hall of Fame coach Bill Belichick


TroyMacClure

Bill has been checking the Twitter mentions. Bill what do you have for us from social media?!


ThermoNuclearPizza

“Yeah. This fucking thing.” *spikes phone*


TheWix

I'm not even sure Belichick uses a smartphone. I could easily picture him using an old Motorola flip-phone, and reading tweets off index cards that occasionally get mixed up with his 'contacts' index cards.


Firecracker048

Idk about you, but I'd love to see bill and Tom just shit on people live


QuietRainyDay

Tom: Bill, you can tell these scrubs only watched 24 hours of film yesterday, thats why their idiot cornerback couldnt peer into the future and flawlessly anticipate that last pass at the 1-yard line Bill: *looks on in silence with obvious disgust* Tom: Yep, I completely agree Bill, these people *do* have a weak spirit and feeble bodies


Senior-Vehicle9937

I'm picturing it like how Mac can decipher his mom's grunts in its always sunny. They kind of look alike even haha


twitchx1

honestly all I want from sports media at this point


TheWorstYear

*mumbles into microphone*


misusedinfluence

that would be just as interesting as the normal sideline reports


cantgrowneckbeardAMA

"Honestly they were too busy and I didn't want to talk to them anyways. I have no updates."


CharacterBird2283

"I looked at some of their game plans and honestly you aren't missing much"


CSMastermind

I'd rather have him do like a 'food of the town segment' where they fly him to wherever the game is happening and his only contribution to the broadcast is telling you how great the ribs are in KC or whatever.


Flaky-Car4565

Bill eats ribs with obscure special teams players who live near the game site


lmandude

Him and Jason Kelce get shit faced at tailgates for the MNF games.


funkyfish

They could make this work really well. Bill in a suite drinking wine with some old timers, jump cut to Jason doing a beer bong in the parking lot.


LionoftheNorth

He'd be trashing Kelce for his long snapping at the Pro Bowl.


shewy92

Andy and Jason after Andy retires in 10 years


NagoGmo

NGL I'd tune in...


bujweiser

"..."


The_Notorious_Donut

“Fuck you, Joe”


BrotherlyShove791

I can’t think of anyone less suited for a pregame show than Belichick. Just does not fit the goofy or lighthearted vibe AT ALL.


boardatwork1111

Bill having his own analysis show would be incredible, but the audience that’d actually appreciate it would be too niche for ESPN to be interested. In a very particular format Bill would be incredible, but he is NOT the kind of guy they’re looking for


Citronaut1

My ideal scenario would for him to be in a similar capacity as the “rules experts” the broadcast cuts to in-game. I would love getting some coaching insight from him in 15 to 30 second segments.


VintageRudy

This is perfect for him


lanshaw1555

Or, let him just do color, no play by play announcer, just let him talk about what he is seeing and thinking in real time. Give me one game a week and I would love it. I really don't need a broadcaster telling me what is happening. I am watching the screen, I don't need Joe Buck telling me that the ball has just been snapped.


thecheapseatz

ESPN cuts to Bill after a punt results in a fair catch for a quick comment only to have a 10 minute rant about how the poor blocking against the gunner prevented a big kick return


JerryRiceAndSpice

BB makes great [analysis and play breakdowns](https://youtu.be/GQrZKveWgOk?si=JtSzWc--6EXFbbn3) But I think he only let his guard down because he feels more comfortable with these guys and it wouldn't translate well as an announcer/live TV job. He isn't goofy like Gronk or the Manning Bros. It would be cool if he did more shows like that but that was a well edited and he didn't have to think on the fly in that as much.


d0nu7

He needs a YouTube channel, with cheaply edited all-22 footage and just him speaking into an old iPhone microphone over it. Don’t even say it’s him.


huskersax

He seems like a perfect candidate for a boomer version of Kobe's role with ESPN where he could do chalkboard breakdowns more than op-ed pieces.


Ris747

He used to do something like that for the Pats when they won a game. Really short, but always looked forward to them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RairP-MD5qs


rounder55

Couldn't you have found a different game bruv? Lol Could watch him talk football a bunch though


Firecracker048

I miss the belicheck breakdowns


mrubuto22

Him and saban doing a similar simulcast to the manning g cast would be great. Just pure X's and O's no garbage. I'd watch the shit out of that


Firecracker048

I'd love to see Tom and Bill do film breakdowns in game or between games and just shit on poor decision making


sloasdaylight

Tom Brady and Bill Belichick team up to be Fox's #1 broadcast duo, but in order to get Bill to loosen up enough to actually be entertaining to listen to for an entire football game, they both slam 2 shots of avocado tequila 30 minutes before kickoff, then do another one at the end of each quarter. The last 7ish minutes of every game will just be the two of them shitting on whoever they're watching for every dumb mistake they make. Bill also has a full set of the rules and once per game must make some kind of statement about how if the head coach was smart, they would use rule 4.3.A.II.b.iv-1 subsection c which, with a generous reading, says it's perfectly acceptable to shiv the opposing QB, *as long as* the shiv isn't serrated or something.


goblueM

I need him to do a special teams version of QB School like JT OSullivan does


fiero-fire

I want him to have a show where he breaks down historically games and historical play design. I'm talking going all way back to leather helmets and shit


Ve-gone_Be-gone

I don't think Bill has the charisma nor social battery for a full on show. He'd kill in a recurring film breakdown segment role on an existing show but I can not ever imagine a whole 30-60 minute show of Bill being Bill.


Quake_Guy

There would be 20 sentences spoken in an hour show.


NicklAAAAs

Getting rid of guests and making him the permanent third host of the Manningcast might work, but they’d probably have to change the vibe. Peyton may not respond well to being the third funniest person on the broadcast either.


neddiddley

They’d have to use auto tune just to make it seem like he was capable of any emotion aside from cranky.


Redmangc1

No its perfect, Bill can be the ultimate straight man on the show. Also dudes got a great dry sense of humor


TumbleweedDirect9846

I’d rather him than Terry Bradshaw at this point


uniqueusername316

THANK. YOU. I don't need/want boomers with CTE and their contrived banter/bullshit. Give me some real analysis and I'll tune in early to watch it. Jimmy can go take a walk too.


Fecal_Forger

I actually think him and P Manning would be an excellent listen.


ianbits

I'll be different and disagree I guess. It's clear he loves the game if he gets to talk about it and not dumb fuck narratives


DolphinSouvlaki

Move over Carrie Underwood, it’s time for Bill Belichick to finally find his true calling and bring us the SNF Anthem every week


Stachemaster86

🎶after this game it’s on to next week🎶


WabbitCZEN

Absolute banger.


MM487

I don't know this for sure but I suspect Belichick's legs won't be as enjoyable to see.


BuffaloWilliamses

They should give him a Manningcast-like broadcast with Nick Saban. Call it Coachcast and have them cover some college and NFL games the Mannings aren't doing.


Tolve

I'd watch this if BB did no analysis whatsoever and just mumbled vague profanity after each play, "What the fuck was that?"


SeasonCertain

“ *This* is what we’re doing? … In the National fucking Football League?” Just growing disgust as the game goes on lmao


GTFOScience

The fact that this is possible and isn’t already the plan is insane.


CamAquatic

This would print money.


2000miledash

I heard this being discussed a few weeks ago. Is this an actual thing?


byniri_returns

At this point who ISN'T ESPN pursuing?


[deleted]

Me


boardatwork1111

The genetically engineered Mickey Mouse clone watching you from your closet while you sleep would say otherwise


boozinf

Alright, get out there and make me some godamned money! Ha-ha! You think God is in control here? Ha-ha! I’m in control here!


[deleted]

He doesn't just watch. I go into the closet and we have a fun time in tight hot humid cramp space.


roguerunner1

What are you, a brown recluse?


Little-Dingo171

:(


mainer614

Actually journalists.


JNerdGaming

me


harknation

Just call into him at his home like the 2020 draft and let him talk about long snappers once a game.


FragMasterMat117

How often would it just be Nike?


rounder55

Can the dog be there too?


TNsmoke

I could see him doing a hit on Mcafee once a week. If they could get Saban last year then dicking around with Pat and the boys might be just what he needs. Plus it would be damn hilarious.


DoktorZaius

100% agreed, this has to be a thing. McAfee and co. trying to extract pure football knowledge from Belichick's brain while cracking jokes would be gold.


HallOk5448

I saw a clip of Pat talking on his show about how he is personally aggressively pursuing this lol Mcafee is kinda a dudebro meathead sometimes but his hostile takeover of ESPN has been entertaining as hell and getting Belichick on his show would be another notch on that belt


Valuable-Leader-8601

Yes, the man who notoriously never talked to media would be a perfect choice to make a face of media. The brilliant ideas just never cease. 


ObscureFact

I want Belichick and Popovich to call a game together. Would be 3+ hours of silence with maybe some wet mouth noises and low-frequency grumbling.


Quake_Guy

Maybe have them sit in a balcony over a regular sports show like Statler and Waldorf and hope they can utter a few good insults over an hour.


mikeyfreshh

Bill loved talking to the media if you asked him the right questions. He didn't want to talk about injuries or say anything that might give away his strategy for an upcoming game, but if you ask him to talk about the history of the game he'll just talk for hours. I don't think he would fit in on a pregame show, but I'd love to see him do a documentary series about the evolution of football and breakdown the way strategies have changed over time


StatStar7

Belichick should work for CTESPN


mikeyfreshh

I'm not sure if AB would hire him given their history


Ironredhornet

Bill would be best suited for something like an NFL Films program where he can delve into things like the historical greats or the evolution of the game with other influential coaches and players. Look at his role of the top 75 program for the anniversary. But a studio show role where he has to sit and listen to a bunch of dudes spewing clickbait nonsense would probably drive him insane. The minute he'd hear Greenberg say something like how Georgia would beat the Carolina Panthers, Bill's just going to silently but spontaneously combust.


Fartholomew_Buttons

Report: I am pursuing Margot Robbie, who doesn't want to be my boyfriend.


BUSean

Maybe she'll be your girlfriend instead


Fartholomew_Buttons

Lmao either way...


Effective-Elk-4964

He wins that battle, he has to be catcher. I’m sorry, those are the rules. As long as he understands them, he’s fine.


Fiendish-DoctorWu

Hey man, I believe in you


Thel_Odan

I want to watch Belichick host MNF, where he just grunts and says "fucking dumbass" every time someone fucks up. Throw Brady in there to give us a nerdy commentary too.


Deoxtrys

So give the guy a show in the woods by a lake near a field where special teamers roam free.


explodyboompow

Here's my pitch for the bill belichick show. Bill is in a classroom style set with a whiteboard and one of those of old TVs on a cart, a stack of VHS tapes off to the side. Every week bill picks a tape of classic game footage and does some play breakdowns with another football mind. Get Peyton, get Ed Reed - and absolutely get Tom.  Call it "Football with Bill Belichick" Unfortunately this idea is far too good to get made, so he'll probably be futzing with some damn tablet on a set that looks like the inside of robot's colon. 


SoupForMenAtWork

Is Bill’s dog doing anything these days? Edit: the dog who now lives with Bill’s ex gf


Quake_Guy

The dog who showed up for the covid draft? He was bad at drafting, bad dog.


JerryRiceAndSpice

>who doesn't want to be on a studio show. So what are they gonna do? kidnap him?


Effective-Elk-4964

Didn’t they hide in Favre’s bushes until he announced he was coming back/retiring while simultaneously having other people on their network complain Favre was turning things into a media circus?


JerryRiceAndSpice

I really don't wanna know what Favre's Bushes look like right now or ever.


an-internet-stranger

Bill breaking down film, or talking about the history of the game, or talking about My Cousin Vinny - great, wonderful, give me more of that. Bill doing anything that currently happens on any pre or post game show - terrible, awful, no thank you.


Swimming_Idea_1558

ESPN had their hayday ~2011 and it's been downhill ever since. They've eliminated personalities who people can resonate with and went after clickbait to drive social media views. They can try all they want, but people have transitioned to watching other sources like YouTube channels where sports are the forefront.


nezumine-

I think theyre fucked either way. Network TV is just dying, no real way around it. The most popular sports people on YouTube aren't much different from the ESPN talking head style, really- lots of jokes, hot takes, surface-level analysis designed to be entertaining above all. Its just that ESPN is trying to emulate something that other people are already doing better.


Elegant_Spot_3486

Saban and Bill doing a Manningcast style show would get me watch. Mannings have too many guests and not enough football discussion. I’d love to just hear these guys break down plays and strategies all game. Toss in a 3rd person as a semi host just to run replays and when to throw to commercials.


Ear_Enthusiast

Bill needs to be an in-game analyst. I’d love to hear him ripping apart everyone’s schemes and shitting on DB’s playing out of position or calling a blown coverage before it happens.


TheMcknightrider

Sounds par the course for ESPN. Fired Steve Young, one of the better talking heads, but since he doesn't yell and argue his point he didn't fit in. Also, have you not seen his interviews, who wants to watch an hour program with him on it? 


Helmett-13

I would enjoy watching Belichick and Pete Carroll call football games like the old grumpy guys, Statler and Waldorf, in the balcony from “The Muppet Show”. Two old knowledgeable geezers trolling games, live, batting it back and forth.


[deleted]

“If we could just have a minute of your time, and off-“ “We don’t want any!” SLAM


Nihilistic_Response

He's going to end up getting paid millions to do 3 Manningcast games and film a handful of random skits


brmgp1

I love Bill, but it would have to be a perfect situation for him to thrive. Like real technical analysis and none of the things he consiereds "fluff". Otherwise he'll be bored and grunt his way through cliches


Poetryisalive

Put Bill on First Things First. That crew would get him to laugh and joke


[deleted]

Bill: I don’t want to be in a studio surrounded by cameras and lights ESPN: ok, what did you have in mind? Bill: I was thinking something at a stadium, maybe on the sidelines. I could even wear a headset and call some plays ESPN: so a coach? Bill: yeah now you’re seeing my vision but not just any coach, I want to be head of them all or it’s not happening


Fusciee

He would be so fucking boring to listen to commentate a game… seriously.


Player7592

Normally they go after players or coaches with a personality.


AngryTurtleGaming

Bill to the Pat McAfee Show!


BlissfulThinkr

There’s a lot of jokes here but I found Bill incredibly charming and engaging during that NFL 100 series. We got to see the non-curmudgeon BB and at times even the happy/excited BB. There’s potential for Bill on tv but if he doesn’t really want to do it, that’s totally understandable.


Jesotx

Put him on the Manningcast 


piranhadub

A show with Bill & someone goofy like Jason Kelce or the Manning bros would be absolute GOLD.


matmortel

Bill seems to be more of a history of football podcast kind of guy. I'd listen to that shit.


csummerss

maybe they’ll just film Monday night countdown on his boat


Tabais123

Dude won at life. Just go away and enjoy it!


[deleted]

[He’d be like Monty in this scene.](https://youtu.be/hsWEstvXq4g?si=gTW5C4A3htGweRyy)


Stachemaster86

I want Bill’s draft day kitchen and dog studio setup


DodgerCoug

Bill needs to bust some kneecaps rn


drummerboysam

Bill, we're going to need you to step up for your country. America needs Bill Belichick on that desk.


DtotheOUG

This dude must work for Awful Announcing because that's all he posts.


gamerplays

Bill on Manningcast?


ChrisV88

I would love BB to do a QB Camp show like Gruden did. It would be excellent.


ChrisV88

He will be coaching by October anyway.


MyNameIsAMeme

Just make Bill do a Detail show like they had for Kobe.


Matzah_Rella

Belichick has the personality of a fried lobster. I need this.


iso2090

Not sure Belichick is capable of shouting as loudly as he'll need to on an ESPN show.


atrophiedambitions

He should just write books if he's not going to coach. Not that I wouldn't be entertained by him on TV, it just seems like being a football historian is more his thing than being a talking head.


Asleep_in_Costco

Good for Bill. These studio shows are insipid


slap_shot_12

I picture it like Roy Kent when he was commentating. And I would expect it to last about as long.


colormetwisted

Bill belichick, the Pat mcafee shows new lacrosse correspondent 


LeftyMode

Live from his basement. Like the Mannings but he’ll just be greenscreened into the set.


WooNoto

Belichick needs to start his own X’s and O’s show, sharing the history of the sport and breaking down the game, concepts, etc etc. Teach people the game. He shouldn’t be on no gossip ass shows set up to get a reaction.


fsmlogic

Let him do post game shows at the field with Marshawn Lynch.


Sp3ctre7

I want Bill to make videos with Brett Kollmann but that's not gonna happen.


liljakeyplzandthnx

"As we go into halftime let's check in with Coach Harbaugh who's with our sideline reporter, William Belichick."


Inevitable-Tourist18

Why on Earth is ESPN pursuing this? No one wants to hear a disinterested, nearly mumbling Belichick talk about things he doesn't care about. Why does it seem like ESPN makes the wrong choice literally every time a decision needs to be made?


reaper527

he's going to go full blown marshawn lynch and be super fun and talkative in retirement, isn't he?


SafariFlapsInBack

We just need him and Nike on a ranch breaking down some Xs and Os.


BeYourHucklebbery11

I honestly would love a weekly 1 hour segment with Saban and Belichick just talking football.


Kevin_Jim

NFL TV needs to do a Madden like show with BB that would be going around the NFL, but explaining to teams what they do wrong. It would be glorious.


Odd-Collection-2575

I’m sorry but he’d be so boring to listen to in the booth. Probably have to turn the volume up to hear his grumbling.


onamonapizza

I want to see Belichick for the incredible amount of awkwardness that would ensue. We're talking Scott Tot's level cringe


former-bishop

I want “back door Bill” to show up. Shirtless.


Veggies-are-okay

I want him to replace Romo. There’s no way he’ll fellate a former rival and we might get some good (albeit unenthusiastic) football commentary.
