I don't know who that Thornton guy is, but that is a pretty good column well worth a click. Thanks for finding it.

At times it's so anti-Belichick, it lapses into self-parody
Once again ignoring the tiny, insignificant point that making Brady the permanent starter in 2001 was one of the all time best decisions in the history of sports. That's not even hyperbole. It's objective fact. And it took balls. But this show seems to assume it's somehow still controversial.
"Sure, everyone talks about how Hernandez murdered Odin Lloyd in cold blood. But no one ever mentions the two touchdown game against Houston."
All fucking gems. And there were more.
There are some good writers out there who can put a few paragraphs together, but Jerry is the undisputed king of the killer one-liner and nobody
is even close. His zingers can make you laugh or almost feel sorry for the target of his wrath. He sees the world in a way that is different from practically everybody I know and it has
served him well as one of the better observers of the Super Bowl era who has found a unique niche among the hack clones who are all trying to push our buttons to harvest clicks.
