“Don’t even compare the Yale coach’s call — running a fake punt while up 10-7, under three minutes to go against Harvard, fourth-and-22 at his own 25, best punter in the Ivy League back to punt, no timeouts left for Harvard, Yale defense having controlled the day, runner stopped short of the first down at the Yale 40 — to Bill Belichick’s. Not applicable. Belichick had a fourth-and-2 with Tom Brady on his side, not wanting to punt the ball so Manning could have two minutes to make him regret it. The call by Tom Williams made Belichick look like a Bill Walsh/Albert Einstein combo platter. I don’t want to make this a scar-kids-for-life moment, because it shouldn’t. But imagine those kids at Yale, walking off a football field for the last time in their lives, thinking, ‘This is my last memory in football? My coach going for it idiotically on fourth-and-22, causing us to lose to our arch-rivals?’”
