Belichick Gets A Cover

If you have ever read First To Third, then you know that the New England Patriots and anything related to them recently are a fun target.

Especially Bill "Emperor Palpatine" Belichick.

The Patriots may not have won the Super Bowl against the New York Football Giants, but Belichick got the honor of donning the front of a magazine cover for an upcoming issue.

The magazine? Spirit, a gay and lesbian magazine.

The Evil Genius, sporting his shiny barber smock in the photo, really isn’t the focus of the Spirt cover story. Sadly. He’s just a prop to illustrate the piece that asks the age-old question: “If one of Boston’s professional athletes announced he was gay would his team and the fans rally around him?”
Spirit Publisher David Zimmerman said they chose Belichick to be their March/April covercoach because “he is, currently, the most recognizable coach in the New England area.”

Palpatine is probably real happy about this. I can just hear his comment now:
"We're gonna worry about this issue at hand. Gonna move past it once the next issue comes out. That's not a question, we are done."

First To Third has no problem with the gay and lesbian community, but just takes any opportunity it can to tease Belichick (not that he even cares what I have to say).

Suck it Belichick. Wait, wait, I don't want to think about that.
