Then there’s Manuel Clark, 34, who was serving time for shoplifting in August when corrections officers delivered him from Her Majesty’s Penitentiary in St. John’s to the sheriff’s office for a bail hearing related to a sexual assault charge. When the sheriffs discovered a scheduling error, they released Clark—despite his protestations he still belonged in custody. “The guy just walked home!” complains Kelvin Parsons, the Liberal justice critic.

But Meeker’s opinion of what happened then and what his old teammate is up to now is decisive. “Stanowski is getting old,” the 1947 NHL rookie of the year says from his home in Parksville, B.C. Why else would he complain about a game that happened “68 years ago?” “Those were two horse-s— goals,” Meeker adds, explaining how one deflected off his stick while the second hit him in the “ass.” Furthermore: “The only reason I was standing in front of the net was because Wally’s shot couldn’t break a pane of glass. If he had any spit on his shot, he would have scored a million goals.”

For Belichick, there are no pure defensive systems, only objectives and constraints and a hyperrational evaluation of each: “You decide defensively how you want to defend... With every decision, there’s going to be an upside, there’s going to be a downside. There will be advantages to playing certain things, there will be disadvantages.” This is the kind of multi-tiered thought process Belichick calls “pretty straightforward.” Right. Thanks to that mentality, Belichick’s greatness has never stemmed from the Big Idea, unless the Big Idea is the relentless application of many Little Ideas.
