Let’s recap Bill Belichick’s football season cap off, shall we? First and foremost, his undefeated New England Patriots [team stats] melted like ice cubes in the desert sun at Super Bowl XLII.
Then there’s the Spygate thing that just won’t die. And if that isn’t bad enough, team captain Kevin Faulk [stats] gets busted for weed at a Lil Wayne concert in New Orleans. Just a Lil agita!
So whaddaya think Coach will do when he finds out he’s the coverboy for the latest issue of Boston Spirit, the city’s premier gay mag???
Hopefully he will get a kick out of the headline next to his grumpy puss: “Where Lesbians Love.” We certainly did!
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?”
The answer: Yes, if he’s a Tom Brady [stats]-caliber playmaker. No, if he’s an underperforming bench-sitter. This is Boston after all.
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.”
And the most under fire!
BTW, not one of the city’s sports teams, except for the Boston Cannons, the lacrosse bunch that drafted an openly gay goalie in 2005, would talk to Spirit reporter Cyd Zeigler, Jr. for the story. But, the scribe notes in a sidebar, at least Patriots spokesman Stacey James returned his calls.
