Big Bad Bill

There really and truly is no fool like an old fool.

Say, on another topic, did you happen to see the interview Bill Belichick, former coach of the New England Patriots and current head coach at the U of North Carolina, gave to "CBS Sunday Morning" on Sunday morning? 

Nattily attired as always.

There's a change in Bill these days. If you remember his post-game interviews from his heyday in NE, it was as if he regarded every word that he forced out of his mouth as a golden pellet of wisdom he hated to give away. One or two word answers were his game, and then he would bolt away from the mic as if he had heard himself being called in to supper.

Oh but now! OH! He has a book, an autobiography to sell you, and the words just came out like they opened the sluicegate on some hydroelectric dam. Buy my book! I'm a nice enough sort! Read my stories!

Until Tony Dukoupil asked the 73-year-old swain about the 24-year lady sitting over there eagle-eying the interview about how those two crazy lovebirds met. She is one Jordon Hudson, the current girlfriend of Talkative Bill. She said, "We're not talking about this."

You'd better do as she says, Bill. You know that look all too well.

And doggone if he didn't just sit there and not answer the question! He looked like he was afraid she would send him off without his Ovaltine tonight if he said another word about it.

There was an old song about something like this...here's Leon Redbone's version of "Big Bad Bill Is Sweet William Now."

I wish them many happy years together. He can tell her all about things that happened before she was born, and she can pretend to care!
