Today on quickslancer podcast.

Gerard Mayo checks in to tell me whether I'm all wet or I'm on to something.

Bill Belichick only willing to coach a certain kind of guy in 2018.

I'm going to drop the voice right now.

Nobody knows Bill Belichick better than Gerard Mayo.

All those years he spent with him, Phil,

the reverent tones that Bill Belichick speaks about Gerard Mayo with,

we have that asset at our beck and call occasionally,

so we called him up to get insight on whether or not I was on to something.

So here's Gerard Mayo, who has been on the Patriots during Bill Belichick's tenure and was there in 2009 during what we perceived to be a fairly dysfunctional time.

Did you feel it all during your tenure as if Bill said, you know what, I'm going to retake some

control of this team and became a little less tolerant of the BS.

You were a captain.

He's got higher respect for you than perhaps any other player aside from Devin.

What's your perception of what I wrote?

Yeah, you know, I think you hit some points on the head, right? I think you... player aside from Devin. What's your perception of what I wrote?

Yeah, you know, I think you hit some points on the head, right? And I think he pulled out some great quotes where, you know, Bill kind of talked about,

you know, he's at the point in his career where he's going to coach people that he likes, right?

And I said this before on multiple podcasts before.

If you like the game, if you love the game of football, you know, the X's and O's the history of football, you're willing to put in the work to succeed, Bill's going to love

you.

If you're one of those guys who, you know, you just like what football has to offer.
