Starting a chant is difficult. Just ask Bill Belichick.
Bill Belichick desperately tried to start a ‘no days off’ chant during the Patriots victory rally
People literally took the day off, Bill.
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
The Patriots coach took the mic during the team’s victory rally at Boston town hall and wanted to show how personable and non-robotic he is. His chosen motto: No days off, which is a phrase basically nobody likes.
On some level, we get that it’s about how he puts in ludicrously long hours to make the Patriots the best, but you’re asking a city of people who literally took a day off to not take days off.
The whole thing flopped, which the NFLPA is probably happy about:
The crowd did start a big “M-V-P!” chant, followed by “WE WANT SIX!” Sadly, Bill’s didn’t go so well.
