Let me give it to Bill Belichick: He’s responsible for three of the greatest moments of my life as a sports fan.

Four years later, however, he crafted the game plan that held the Buffalo Bills’ explosive offense to under 20 points and a last-second field-goal miss in a 20-19 Giants win in Super Bowl XXV. (The words that came to symbolize that miss, “Wide Right,” also came back to haunt the Bills this year. This time it helped the Kansas City Chiefs, though, so it left a bit more of a sour taste in my mouth.)

Then, Belichick went on to the head coaching gig with the Cleveland Browns in 1991; he was somewhat less successful there, leading the team to one playoff appearance and one playoff win.

He got another head coaching gig with the New England Patriots, where he was somewhat more successful, going to nine Super Bowls and winning six of them.
