Monday Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Reports are that Bill Belichick plans to write a book. This is not surprising and I don't think it has anything to do withe book or series The Dynasty and how he was portrayed.

Two will usually hang back, to come in at the end when they will not get hurt, and the thing to do is destroy the first man who attacks or whom you presume to be the toughest aggressor." This sounds a lot like the Tom Cruise dialog from his first Jack Reacher movie - almost directly...
