It was definitely one of the major stories of the night: Why wasn’t Malcolm Butler playing corner against the Eagles after playing something like 98% of the snaps this season. Hoodie was asked after the game and he said it was a football decision, but you know whatever he’s selling, you shouldn’t be buying because his answers usually mean the very opposite of what he just said.
Sooooooo…that brings us to the NSFWBDs and how they handled this fascinating decision by Bill. What would it take for Bill to sit a Super Bowl hero. To sit a guy with two rings. A guy who saved the Patriots in Super Bowl XLIX.
They’re perplexed and rightfully want answers. Some even want to know if Butler might’ve made a run at Bill’s girlfriend Linda.
Even the local Boston media is confused:
Unless Malcolm Butler slaughtered a family of five, Bill Belichick is the goat of this game. No way Eagles score 41 with Butler in there
