Part 2 of A Football Life aired on NFL Network last night (read our review of Part 1 HERE), and while there was plenty more insight provided into the world of Bill Belichick, the runaway highlight from the show came during the Patriot’s 2009 week 8 bye. Former pats WR Randy Moss organized a Halloween party for the players & coaches, and sat down with the Hoodie to see if the coaches would be interested in joining.  Belichick slowly warms to the idea, eventually saying “it’s a great holiday! Candy and costumes … how can you beat that?!?”

That scene is followed by footage of Belichick arriving at the roller rink dressed as a pirate, with his girlfriend playing the part of wench, where he’s greeted by Moss as Spongebob Squarepants and other players who are just thrilled to see Bill let his hair down a bit.  And just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, Belichick laces up the skates and takes to the rink to get his pirate roller boogie on … yaaaarrrrr:

Bill is definitely starting to show a more human side in this episode. Other highlights include:

• A look back on his father, Steve Belichick’s career as a Naval Academy football scout, where young Bill got his first taste of the game, and his days playing for Annapolis High
• After failing on 4th & short earlier in the season, Belichick stresses the situation to his team in the film room and goes for against the Colts on 4th &2 on their own 28 yard line … and don’t make it.  The Pats lost the game 35-34, and Belichick was roundly criticized for the decision. But in talking with his players, he refused to apologize for “being agressive and trying to win”.
• Belichick re-living their Super Bowl XXXVI victory against the Rams in New Orleans, going to far as to run the out-and-up route that resulted in the team’s only touchdown by WR David Patten
• Toward the end of 38-17 beating at the Saints, sharing his frustrations with a steely-eyed Tom Brady on the sideline, saying “We have no mental toughness … I just can’t get this team to play the way we need to play. It’s so f@*ing frustrating.”
• Following consecutive losses in Weeks 12-13, using the legendary 1985 Hagler-Hearns fight (known at “The War”) to help deliver a message to his team about getting back up after being knocked down
• With his team up 35-7 against the Jags in Week 16, unleashing on his defense on the sideline, calling them “punks“, among other colorful descriptors
• In preparing for their Wild Card playoff match-up against the Ravens, Belichick talks to his players about Sun Tzu, author of The Art of War, and his quote, “Every battle is won before it is fought”
• And finally, we learn the name of Bill’s boat:

Looks like this year’s hottest Halloween costume is noneother than Minnesota Vikings coach Brad Childress (also known to some as the “Amber Alert” look).

Childress, however, may have done them one better.

Brad has balding, bearded followers! (Source: BustedCoverage.com)
