Bill Belichick names new boat "7 RINGS"

So New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick gets a new boat and promptly names it "7 RINGS" after winning his 7th Super Bowl.

So, what do you think? Total dick move, or totally cool move?

I'll just note that in the photo he appears to be on the boat with all his friends. LOL

He's earned it no matter what anyone might think, me I think that's a pretty modest setup.

And not for anyone else to judge quantity vs quality of one's friends, we all make our bed and then we lies in it.

He looks pretty content to me.

The use of Roman numerals will make it easier to add one more - VIII.

Re: Bill Belichick names new boat "7 RINGS"

The Patriots pulled off an amazing comeback to get that boat its name!

But my inner nerd associates it with a bit of Tolkien:

Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne,
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie,
One ring to rule them all, one ring to find them,
One ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.


I really hope they can keep up their momentum. They should cultivate another quarterback in the next few years.

Sorry to say, but no more rings for Bill.

Not a new boat. He renamed VI Rings.

Re: Bill Belichick names new boat "7 RINGS"

Like and admire him or not, he's got the seven rings. At least a couple came with the New York Football Giants! And, concurring with above, the boat is rather modest for someone of his means. Just enough to do some fishing, even some serious fishing, and have some fun with his family and friends. Can he be a d**k at times, yes. Is VII rings a d**k move? No, I don't think so. Have fun Bill!
