Bill Belichick Tells Amusing Story About Threatening To ‘Cut’ Tom Brady

Bill Belichick has been a revelation as a studio analyst.

Who would have thought?

The New England Patriots head coach made his debut last Friday on NFL Network’s “NFL 100 All-Time Team.” Belichick, along with co-hosts Rich Eisen and Cris Collinsworth, will reveal the NFL’s all-time team over the course of the six-part series. The best moment yet came Friday night, and Patriots fans will love it.

Hall of Fame linebacker Ray Lewis joined the panel after being named to the all-time team. At one point during the discussion, Belichick shared a hilarious story in which he once joked about cutting Tom Brady if the Patriots quarterback ran a certain play.

“I told Brady, if you throw that Y-Shake on Ray Lewis, I’m gonna cut you,” Belichick said.

Brady’s response was perfect.

“If I throw that Y Hook route on Ray Lewis, you deserve to cut me,” he said, per Belichick.

Great stuff.

The third episode in the series will premier next Friday. Let’s hope it offers more great anecdotes from the greatest coach in NFL history.
