How did Belichick do in his second and third head coaching gigs? “You never wish anything bad upon anyone”, Murray said Thursday. Belichick then said it wasn’t until 2003, the fourth year of his Patriots tenure, that he fully installed his program.

Ace tennis player and record grand slam victor Roger Federer has expressed that he would be “OK” even if he couldn’t manage to add to his 17 major titles in the upcoming season. “I’m sure Roger and Rafa have experienced that a few times. I’m going to try to win every tournament and every Grand Slam that I play because that’s the mindset I have”.
