Bill Belichick declines Presidential Medal of Freedom offer from Trump | CNN...

New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick has announced that he is declining the Presidential Medal of Freedom, which he was scheduled to receive from President Donald Trump.

Belichick cited the “tragic events of last week” as leading to his decision. Pro-Trump rioters rampaged in the US Capitol last Wednesday. Five people died as a result of the chaos, including a US Capitol Police officer. House Democrats want to impeach Trump, accusing him of “incitement of insurrection.”

Attaboy.

Since you asked by prefacing your question with a derogatory comment about my home town.
GOT SIX Jagoff?
But seriously, they played poorly and lost to a better team.
Congrats making it to the semifinals, I don’t think KC will spot you 21 points though; should be fun.
