Did you know that Bill Belichick is an original gangster?
original gangster
The mobsters, bootleggers and gangsters of the 1920's and 30's, such as Al Capone, Lucky Luciano, and Bugs Moran. Anyone who claims otherwise are lying out their ass.
Person 1: ORIGINAL GANGSTER ON DECK.
Person 2: Shut the f**k up.
This surprising little gem came about when Irvin was asked whether Coach Belichick would be laughing in the face of all his critics. He replied (much to the amusement of LaDanian Tomlinson and Marshall Faulk):
He's the best though man, he's on OG. He's an original. Original gangster, man. He comes in, and he can take over any moment and every moment. That's an OG.
Seriously! I'm not lying! Watch it yourself!
Really, is there anything to suggest that Belichick is anything but an OG? His cold and fierce demeanour, the fear he strikes into his enemies, his willingness to recruit other notorious NFL gangsters (Aaron Hernandez may have been taken a little too literally). His baggy hooded fashion sensibilities may even hint at a gangster persona lying deep within our head coach.
And if there ever was an OG in the NFL capable of pointing this out, would it not be the great Michael Irvin?! Do you think Bill Belichick is an original gangster? Let us know in the comments.
