Pride Comes Before the Belichick
Original Air Date: February 9, 2008 AudioLink_2008_0209
Show Category: Life/Misc
Show Description: In Proverbs we read that "pride comes before the fall." Well there appears to be no more relevant verse the New England Patriot's Head Coach Bill Belichick needs to read again. What a role model! Something for the kids to be proud, to look up to. What a sore loser. Most of us know how pride and arrogance can ruin our lives. Belichick had that lesson dealt to him the hard way. So join the conversation as we look at how we behave with our families and in our work places and how pride gets in the way.


Allen's Legal Pad for
Pride Comes Before the Belichick

Heard it here first last week – only place I know of

Called it on air Saturday night

Go back and listen to the archive at ahs.com

Giants by 3

What to my wondering eyes should appear? 17-14 – Eli's coming

Now going to reveal how I knew with such precision - unveil

Andy thinks I am an insider gambling ring operator – Mafioso

Called the Appalachian State game against Michigan as well

But this one was different – that was a gut feel

On Super Bowl – had a direct word from the Lord

Patriots will lose – Giants will win

Like Sinai moment

2 reasons God caused the Patriots to lose

First one in our first hour tonight – again, a direct revelation

Tom Brady's immoral lifestyle

Second reason – Bill Bellicose, Bill Belligerent, Bill Belicheat was victim of his own extreme pride

Pride goes before the fall – punctured pride

Now obviously I am kidding here – sort of

No Pat Robertson – God caused the tsunami or AIDS

God did not cause David Tyree to make catch of Super Bowl history

Nor Assante Samuel to let interception slip at end

Climax with Little Jack Horner – leaving field early, refusing to heed official, end of game from tunnel – complete and utter lack of class

Sucking thumb in corner – taking ball and going home – sore loser – public hissy fit

3 time Super Bowl champion – embarrassing – trying to rob Giants of their glory and joy

No dignity – swollen balloon of prideful ego – punctured and down to Voldemort at end – little weasly creature

Pattern of pride and arrogance

Spygate – resistance to investigation and cooperation

Disdain for media

Disdain for other coaches

Disdain for other men's wives – Sharon Shenocca – named in divorce suit

You can get so big – so full – so swollen

That pride gets in your own way – so sure of self that feel invincible and then most vulnerable

Bernie Ebbers

Ken Lay

Dennis Kozlowski

MC Hammer

Happened to me on multiple occasions – Grandmother - “God may use you; but He doesn't need you.”

Pssssssssssssst – of balloon popping

Ever been on top and lost it all?

Ever had it all and lost it?

Ever been cocksure and had balloon of pride punctured?

Courage to call and share?

Did God cause the Patriots to lose because of pride?
