One of the major storylines this week has been Tom Brady vs. Bill Belichick with who deserves more credit, Brady is winning the battle, etc.
ESPN's Matt Hasselbeck joined The Greg Hill Show Wednesday morning and was asked about it and brought up something not many people have -- Belichick deserves credit for the year Tampa Bay is having.
“A lot of people, even on our show, the Sunday NFL Countdown pregame show that we’re going to do, that question will come up: was it more Brady or more Belichick? I think it would be unfair to not give Bill Belichick credit for the year that even Tampa is having this year because I see Brady in Tampa doing things that he learned and perfected in his 21 years in New England," he said. "I equate it to this: if I went to Harvard and went to Harvard Business School and then went and had success in the business world, am I going to be like, that’s just me in the business world, that’s not Harvard? No, Harvard trained you to get ready to have success forever.
“… To think Brady deserves all the credit without Belichick or vice versa, I think they just go hand in hand. They should go in the Hall of Fame together in my mind. They’re a team."
Brady and his Buccaneers will play Sunday in Super Bowl LV, while Belichick's Patriots went 7-9, missing the playoffs for the first time since 2008.
