Military Philosophy

Recommended Posts

"I think it's more a function of the team than it is the individual,'' said Belichick, of his team's ability to stay hungry. "The essence of a team is that you really want to do something because all your friends and teammates are counting on you. You don't want to let the other guy down. It's more of a military philosophy. Any team that's good, that's really where the motivation is. In the end, when you have a commitment to each other, that's really where the power is.''

Good article y'all might want to read... doesn't fellate the Pats too much, while providing a glimpse of why Belichick's regime has succeeded so well.

Belichick is clearly a Marxist, but the problem with Marxism is that it effectually excludes the elite. In a purely egalitarian system such as the one he promotes in New England, it supercedes individual success, which necessarily subverts individualistic desire, and thus, runs counter to human nature. In other words, Belichick's system allows no room for the Ty Law's of the world (long term), and it feasts on the lower-level player, such as a Tedy Bruschi, who buy into the system for a short time, or a long time, depending on their ability to fool themselves that their personal sacrifices are truly appreciated, or, if you're like Troy Brown, you are merely a part of the machine, and when you are in a position to be paid at a level that is not necessarily commensurate with your level of production, you are out on the street, loyalty be damned. What does all this mean? That Belichick is Stalin.

Thank you, and good night now!
