When asked if he ever relaxes especially after the win before next season his response was priceless. "We are already 5 weeks behind everyone else in preparation for the 2017 season."
Made me shake my head and think, thats why your a champion. I bet Marvin is still marinating a rack of ribs for his Valentines Day buffet. Thats one small piece of the puzzle(other than the obvious ones) why the Patriots are in it year after year and we can't even win ONE playoff game.
I've read in countless articles how Lewis is looking for another extension and will most likely get it but us as fans who have no control over day to day operations in the Bengals organization, but we do have control over one thing. Our expectations. Nothing worse than getting your hopes up, only to end up in the same place year after year.
I don't care who we draft or pick up in FA, Marvin isn't going to coach them up the right way and in the right atmosphere to win. So the waiting game will continue...
Belichick/Brady just epitomise that quote about genius being 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration.
So relentless in following a process of preparation that means they try and do everything in their control to succeed. Even by the huge work ethic of the NFL they stand out...
For mortals it must be exhausting to work in that environment - thats why i think some players just do not fit there and some so called 'lesser talents' thrive ....its not the 40 yard speed, or the height /weight ..its your appetite to work and adhere to the plan that defines your success there, not your previous achievements or media presence
