2. Mangini can only wear hoodies with torn sleeves from now on

What is Bill Belichick’s favorite thing to wear? We see it all the time on the sideline. He has some dirty, worn out Patriots sweatshirt on with some khaki pants. But it doesn’t stop there. You have to make sure the hood is up and the sleeves are torn.

So if I was Bill Belichick, I’d make Eric Mangini wear the exact same thing for the rest of his life. “You want my friendship, you have to wear the hoodie!”

Imagining Mangini with hoodies with the sleeves torn off seems pretty hilarious to me. Belichick doesn’t really pull it off, but because he’s such a good coach and wins consistently, nobody seems to be bothered by what he wears.

Imagine when Eric Mangini shows up on the sets of ESPN or Fox Sports 1 and has to wear a hoodie with torn sleeves. It’s some of the best revenge that Belichick can serve up to Mangini.

The longer the list goes, I’m not sure if the former Jets’ coach will want to reconcile this friendship with Belichick.
