While paying tribute to the departing coach’s 24 seasons and six titles, New England Patriots owner Bob Kraft assured fans Thursday that the team was already searching through insane asylums for a possible Bill Belichick replacement. “Look, nobody is ever going to fill the hole that Bill’s leaving in the Patriots family, but I want everyone to know that we’re tirelessly visiting madhouses and sanatoriums looking for someone to lead us forward next season,” said Kraft, discussing one promising candidate at the Waltham Institute for the Criminally Insane whom he observed drawing out the X’s and O’s of a defensive play with his own feces.
