I want to be done with the anti-Belichick propaganda that was AppleTV’sThe Dynasty.
And fill those synapses in my brain with something more worthy of them.
Like the names of all the Japanese characters inShogunor what happened on the last season ofCobra Kai.
But every time I’m out onThe Dynasty, they pull me back in.
First Julian Edelman criticized the tone of the the show.
He set the standard.
Coach Belichick was the standard.
Without him, none of this was possible.
Theres no doubt about that.
To see him go was sad.
I mean, I had a tear.
Without him I wouldnt be where I am today.
I needed that jot down of experience, Gronkowski said.
Im so glad I went to the New England Patriots.
That fit my lifestyle.
That fit my culture.
It fit who I am as a person.
I believe that I was (destined) to go to the New England Patriots as well.
I would not change my first nine years of being with the New England Patriots.
I was open arms welcomed by all the New England fans.
No doubt about that.
I loved the fans up there.
I loved the culture up there.
I love the Boston culture.
Just everything about it (embodied) what I represent.
It was just an amazing time.
All the championships won.
I kind of needed that structure as well in my life.
So I would never, ever, ever change a thing.
Gronk saw benefit in the advice he was getting from Tom Brady’s masseuse/business partner/life coach.
Conflict is inevitably going to ensue.
Alphas are gonna alpha.
But what we got in the documentary was none of this sentiment from Gronk.
A lot of these things.
And those parts of the interviews ended up on the editing bay floor.
It was the intention all along to make this a story about … something else.
What that editorial intent was, your guess is as good as mine.
Is it meant to be a cautionary tale about blind ambition?
The dangers of hubris?
Winning at all costs?
The abuse of power?
The negative affects of arrogance?
All I know of sure is that the producers found their villain.
I imagine we’ll be hearing more from the others who appeared on camera distancing themselves from this thing.
And I hope the Krafts are among them.
No one really has any idea how much involvement the Krafts had in the production and editing ofThe Dynasty.
Because I say again, Bill Belichick does not deserve this treatment.
