00:00Yesterday, Dan Roach was talking with Robert Kraft in advance of Sunday's game and asked him about a statue for Bill Belichick.
00:08And I thought his answer was a bit of an olive branch.
00:11So here's the way that went.
00:12The number one question that comes after Tom Brady is Bill Belichick.
00:15So will there be a Bill Belichick statue out here one day as well?
00:20It's always when that great 20 year era ended, it was always my intention to commission a statue.
00:30For both Tommy and Bill when their respective careers were over, playing and coaching.
00:36And when Bill's coaching career ends, we look forward to sitting down with him and having a statue made to be right next to Tommy.
00:48Well, let's hope for a lot of excitement and maybe more statues 20 years from now will be built of some of the players going on in the field.
00:54Thank you, Robert.
00:55All right.
00:56I like that.
00:56I do too.
00:57And it's always been the plan.
01:00Do you believe that?
01:01I mean, I was shocked to hear that, but you got to take him at his word and he can't back down now.
01:08So it's always been the plan.
01:10I thought no way on God's green earth.
01:13Well, Bill, we talked about this earlier and some on this show said Bill doesn't have to be there, but I think Bill has to.
01:19Of course he has to be there.
01:21Will he though?
01:21Yes.
01:22So he's.
01:23Yeah.
01:23Bill will be there.
01:24Bill will put on a smile and he'll come out.
01:26Yeah.
01:26Bill.
01:26Put on a happy face.
01:27Yeah.
01:27I mean, Bill's petty, but he's not going to go that petty, especially at a moment that's there to celebrate him.
01:32You know?
01:33So the fact that Robert said that they were going to do it, I didn't think it was going
01:37to happen because of the documentary, but, you know, so let's say Bill's done in four
01:44years, you know, you know, Robert will be knock on wood.
01:48He's still kicking and going.
01:50Will it be the same height?
01:51Will it be 12 feet tall or.
01:53Yeah, it has to be.
01:54It does.
01:54Yeah.
01:55No.
01:55No.
01:55I think it'll be a bit shorter.
01:56Could it be in the shadow?
01:58Could could build me in the shadow of Tom Brady?
02:00So I got an early look at it.
02:03So don't get angry at me, but it's actually above the stadium with binoculars looking at
02:08the other team signals.
02:11No, it has to be the same sizes.
02:13And it's got to like he said, it'll be right next to Tom.
02:15It has to be the same size and have all like, you know, the same things going on.
02:20And and and and I think you have to do that if you're wrong.
02:23A master stroke from Stacey James yesterday with digs, whatever role he had in, if it
02:28was none, then it's all good to digs.
02:30But that in Robert Kraft being the magnanimous and doing that was a brilliant, brilliant PR
02:35move.
02:35But Courtney, maybe that ends the the feud, right?
02:39Yeah.
02:40And Courtney's right.
02:41There's no.
02:41Or do you think Bill keeps taking shots?
02:43No, I think like he did with Ben Volan.
02:45I think at this point, Courtney's right.
02:47There's no walking it back.
02:48And I think Bill's kind of done with it.
02:49Like he's kind of moved on from the, you know, shot taken.
02:53And it's you have to do like you Kraft can't do it now.
02:57The only.
