With all respect, sir, I disagree. People are way more complex than that. And success-even mutual success-often sparks resentment in the unlikeliest of places. Perhaps ESPECIALLY in the unlikeliest of places. Familiarity breeds contempt at least as often as it engenders loyalty. There is an old European proverb for which there is no exact American interpretation, but the general thrust is : "When my friends prosper, I die a little."
That's just my take, Ray, and I could certainly be mistaken in this instance.
BTW..I would bet big that Belichick roots hard against Brady. And that Tom returns the favor. Unless, that is, they are saints as well as GOATS.
