“Bill Belichick is Not in My League”: WWE Legend Snubs Patriots Manager After Comparisons By NFL Star

Bill Belichick is one of the greatest coaches and general managers in NFL history. And any comparison to this legend is the sincerest form of compliment to any manager. But what if someone is even greater than the legend himself? Well, the legend in question is Paul Heyman and the person complimenting him is none other than Pat McAfee, NFL’s biggest star in recent years.

Paul Heyman is a legend in his own right. Transforming the current sphere of wrestling into the more extreme and changing the way bookers entertained the crowd, Paul Heyman is a certified genius. So while Pat McAfee isn’t wrong in any context, comparing two legends sparked a conversation neither one wanted to be a part of.
