Bostonist hearts the Herald's habit of mashing up anything sports-related with other subjects, such as online romance. Today, as the Super Bowl approaches, Joe Dwinnell contacted a shrink to help fans find meaning in Bill Belichick's hoodie and cope with various neuroses. The good doctor warns that fans might want draw clear mental boundaries between themselves and the Patriots coach:
Q: Bill Belichick is so dry, but that’s good. Should we all go through life in hoodies and smirks?A: We should all go through life being ourselves. Belichick thrives on a task-oriented, no-nonsense approach. Others might like a more casual style or a bit of comic relief. What works for him might not work for you.
If anyone considers using Belichick as some kind of spiritual guru, they already have a few issues. But the best question by far is the following:
Q: The Giants don’t have cheerleaders, are they trying to take the sexiness out of the game?A: Hey, where I come from, shivering in Soldier Field with the Chicago Bears coached by papa Bear George Halas, I don’t remember sexiness as part of the game.
Bostonist would like to add that if the questioner has some sort of hangup regarding Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders and can't imagine sexy without a pigskin, then he has a limited imagination.
