Twitter Has a Lot to Say About Bill Belichick’s Texting Habits: TRAINA THOUGHTS

1. There was a lot to chew on Tuesday when news broke that former Dolphins coach Brian Flores had filed a lawsuit against the NFL alleging racist hiring practices.

In a surreal twist, a big reason the lawsuit came about was that Bill Belichick allegedly sent texts to Flores that were supposedly intended for new Giants head coach Brian Daboll.

The revelation that Bill Belichick would A) send texts with aggressive use of exclamation points and B) sign off on his texts with “BB” was ripe for Twitter fodder.

This entire saga regarding the Belichick texts also led some people to throw out some conspiracy theories.

And because I’ve always said everything in life is a Curb Your Enthusiasm episode, I was right there:

3. Gronk's goodbye message to Tom Brady ... actually, make that Gronky's goodbye message to Tommy Boy, was exactly what you'd expect, and it was wonderful.

4. Hopefully this is a sign that TNT will do the right thing by making Kevin Harlan its lead NBA announcer come playoff time when the network will air the Western Conference finals.

5. A couple of weeks ago, I posted this on Twitter for my old-school WWF fans.

That address to mail get well cards to Hulk Hogan was indeed real. And the then WWF actually responded with thank you notes. 1980s wrestling was the best.
