The average daily social media usage of internet users worldwide amounted to 145 minutes per day in 2020, according to Statista.
In Bill Belichick terms, that is one full football game in real time or his full tenure as the Jets head coach.
To The Hoody, social media may as well be a MSNBC in the Bible Belt—he knows it exists, but on principle refuses to acknowledge its existence.
That changed on Friday morning after Belichick was asked by a reporter if he helps players handle the negative reaction that accompanies on-field failing, particularly referring to running back
“First of all, I don’t really know or care anything about social media. I don’t know what’s out there, isn’t out there. So that’s irrelevant to me. But it doesn’t matter, we played football before there was social media and it didn’t matter then either.”
Belichick followed up his anti-social media response with a 10-minute diatribe on the history and importance of the long snapper, a topic which evidently gives him great joy.
We’d all be a bit better off if we took a page out of Bill’s playbook. Less social media and more…long snapper talk?
Eh, maybe I’ll just watch another Norm compilation. Whichever one the YouTube algorithm serves me. I am nothing if not a sheep.
