Ex-Patriot Chandler Jones sings ode to Bill Belichick following departure from New England
One of Bill Belichick’s former players seems to be taking his departure from New England rather hard.
Chandler Jones played for the Patriots under Belichick for the first four seasons of his NFL career after they selected him 21st overall in 2012.
Despite spending more time (six years) with the Arizona Cardinals, it seems pretty clear that Jones really treasured his time in Foxboro, Massachusetts.

Jones posted a video of himself on Instagram singing an ode to his former head coach.
The shirtless Jones is seen wearing overhead earphones and singing into a mic to the tune of Chris Stapleton’s “Tennessee Whiskey.”
Seemingly titled “Oh Bill Belichick,” the song makes references to SpyGate, DeflateGate and the Pats dynasty.
The lyrics are as follows:
“Oh, Bill Belichick, how I miss you. I just wanna kiss you. Oh, Bill Belichick. Oh, Bill Belichick. They just got rid of you. Oh, Bill Belichick. Won’t we make some stew? Oh, Bill Belichick. Oh, Bill Belichick. You didn’t flatten that ball. It was Tom Brady. You didn’t Spygate. You didn’t Deflategate. Bill Belichick. He’s innocent. Got seven Super Bowls He got seven Super Bowls. They called it a dynasty. He got seven Super Bowls. Oh, Bill Belichick. Oh, Bill Belichick. He made me the man I am. He made me the man I am.”
Jones has not played in the NFL since 2022 and was placed on the non-football illness list this past September. He was released from the Las Vegas Raiders after an arrest later that month.
Jones went on a social media rant ripping the Raiders in early September in a series of since-deleted posts that were seemingly prompted by his inability to get access to the team’s gym.
Jones claimed “they won’t let me in the building” and that he did not want to play for the Raiders if Josh McDaniels or Dave Ziegler were running the team, They were both fired during the season.

ESPN GAVE ACADEMY FAKE NAMES TO OBTAIN MORE EMMY AWARDS FOR INELIGIBLE ON-AIR TALENT: REPORT
The team announced Thursday they were mutually parting ways with Belichick after 24 seasons.
Belichick, 71, took over the Patriots job in 2000 after spurning the Jets at the last possible second. The team went 5-11 in his first season and missed the playoffs. However, Week 2 of the 2001 season changed the trajectory of his coaching tenure, the franchise and the entire NFL. Drew Bledsoe went down with an injury and Tom Brady started in his place.
Brady went on to lead the Patriots and help get Belichick six Super Bowl rings. The two dominated the NFL in two different eras before Brady went on to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Belichick was unable to build a similar team and only made the playoffs once since the legendary quarterback left.

Belichick wrapped up his career with the Patriots with a 266-121 record. His teams won 17 AFC East championships. The last four years were a little rougher as he made the playoffs in 2021 but finished under .500 in three of those seasons.

The Kentucky Wildcats basketball team may still make the NCAA Tournament, but Dick Vitale thinks this iconic program should be much better than their 19-12 record this season considering their whopping $22 million roster.
The legendary ESPN college basketball analyst didn’t hold back his feelings about the Wildcats as they played Florida during Saturday’s prime SEC matchup. After the Gators hit some free throws to extend their first-half lead to 26-19, Vitale started to lay into the Wildcats.

“I’m going to say this right here, I’ve done several Kentucky games, win or lose, $22 million this team [which has been reported] in terms of the NIL for their players,” he said, per Awful Announcing. “I think in $22 million, they could have put together a better roster than they did. I really do.”
The Wildcats ended up losing by a score of 84-77, and Vitale continued about Kentucky near the end of their 12th loss of the season.
“I’ll tell you one thing, you don’t want to walk out of here thinking you got a moral victory,” Vitale said, referencing a hard-fought game against the No. 5-ranked Florida team. “Moral victories don’t count at this level of basketball. And you hear some of the people, ‘We played them close. We played them tough.’
“The bottom line is you’re Kentucky. You’re Kentucky. And you’ve got to leave here with a win, especially at home. There are no moral victories. Come on. I don’t want to hear that.”

The Wildcats were once the top program in the country under former Coach John Calipari, who left for Arkansas after being unable to make a long March Madness run in recent seasons, including a shocking first round upset to the Oakland Golden Grizzlies in the 2024 NCAA Tournament.
The Wildcats have been coached by Mark Pope since, and they made the Sweet 16 in last year’s tournament before losing to Tennessee.

But this year, Kentucky is 10-8 in SEC play, and now face the No. 9 seed in the upcoming tournament this week. The winner of each conference earns a tournament berth, but the Wildcats know good seeding in the NCAA Tournament requires a strong run heading into Selection Sunday this upcoming weekend.
The Wildcats will start their SEC Tournament play on Wednesday against No. 16 LSU.

Ingold’s deal with the Chargers reportedly is for two years and $7.5 million.

Ingold caught 47 passes for 372 yards and rushed for 34 yards in 20 carries in four seasons with the Dolphins. He also had two rushing touchdowns and a receiving touchdown.
Before his time in Miami, Ingold played three seasons with the Raiders.

With the free agency negotiation period set to begin Monday at 9 a.m. PDT, the Chargers remain in strong position to be significant players in the free-agent market. They rank among the top-five teams in salary cap space, per Overthecap.com.
