You've not watched the first two episodes, but you know very well, I defended Belichick this morning.

Look I think this is like the third or fourth documentary that I've been interviewed for that so it's like how many times can I rehash the same things and it wasn't trying to give anybody a hard time it's just I've done multiple documentaries on this topic and I've lived through it and I'm happy to talk about it after they've interviewed everybody else but just rehashing the same continuous issues over and over again. It gets a little redundant for everybody I think.
