The Herd with Colin Cowherd
Colin Cowherd mentioned the title as Ian O'Connor’s earlier biography that presented a more critical view of the Patriots’ dynasty, contrasting it with Jeff Benedict’s more favorable account. He referenced the book while discussing the team’s history but did not strongly endorse it, treating it as an alternative perspective.

It was reported that Bill Belichick is writing a book, likely with Simon & Schuster, to offer his perspective after numerous other books portrayed him negatively.

I was thinking of you flying back from Boston the other day. So I was flying from Boston on vacation. I came back to LA and I watched a couple episodes of Dynasty.
Now that's Jeff Benedict's book, and that is, you know, it's understood in the industry that that's a very craft favorable interpretation of Dynasty. Yours was not.
