While the “feels like” temperature has soared to 1 degree, I can sense a little difference in the weather. And while my colleagues have endured a week’s worth of indoor recess with K-4th graders the sun has risen each morning since the news of Bill Belichick’s HOF snubbing.

The initial hue and cry over his first ballot failure was beginning to worry me. Even some people that I respect were making too much of this slight and affording it far too much ink/airtime. I find it hard to empathize with a miserable tool and am bothered more by some average Joe not getting a paycheck in timely fashion due to a banking or direct deposit error. I don’t think the coach is losing any do re mi because he’s going to have to wait a year to be honored in Canton. Several worthy coaches also didn’t make it on their first try and most weren’t complete jerks.

All that being said, I’m boycotting the NFL Pro Bowl and reruns of the Gilmore Girls until Belichick gets his just dessert.
