Patriots QB Tom Brady to Marry Bill Belichick

Okay okay, maybe Tom Brady won't, but hey, at least they do have this ''relationship.''

Yep, Tom Brady and Bill Belichick, the player-coach tandem that can rival some of the best player-coach duos in any other sport, have this relationship fueled by that competitive spirit that both share. Well, that's what they say anyway.

Maybe there is a duo out there in another sport that can lay claim to being the best coach-player combination, such as Phil Jackson and Michael Jordan of the six-time NBA World Champions Chicago Bulls. It just doesn't seem possible to vault anyone to the head of the class when you consider what the New England Patriots have in Belichick and Brady.

Perhaps the best love team in football? No?

The relationship between the genius coach and the clutch quarterback is at the foundation of the success of the Patriots. It's in the special Tuesday meetings they've shared the past years during off days. It's in the tremendous amount of respect they have for one another.

Of course, none of this would be possible if Belichick kept Brady on the bench and stayed with Drew Bledsoe. He he... And to think the exact same thing happened to Bledsoe again this season through a guy named Tony Romo? He he...

''It's very good with coach Belichick. I think I've said before, we have the same goals,'' Tom Brady said. ''We meet at the beginning of every week and just get a feel for what he saw in the previous game and what he sees in the upcoming opponent. We do the same (on Tuesdays). Sometimes it's all football. Sometimes we talk about other stuff. We've been doing that for four years. So it's a great relationship.''

A gay one too.
