Patriots former offensive lineman crashed his car on purpose because he was scared Belichick would cut him
Just how scary of a coach is Bill Belichick? Well, former New England Patriots offensive lineman Rich Ohrnberger said he was so afraid of getting cut by hoodie, that he intentionally rear-ended a van while on his way to practice after running late to a team meeting!
The former fourth-round pick in the 2009 NFL Draft, made the confession on “The Hartman And Rich O Show“.
“I was driving a Chevy Tahoe, and it says I’m late already,” Ohrnberger recalled, continuing, “Or, I’m gonna be. I’m like 5 minutes to being officially late, and I’ve got a 15-minute drive ahead of me.”
“I had this sinking feeling in my stomach,” and the entire time, he kept thinking to himself, “I’m gonna get cut.”
“And I’m cruising down this slight sloping hill that brings you to the first traffic light,” Ohrnberger said, “that I have to turn right to get to the stadium for the morning meeting.”
“I see a church van in front of me that’s all dinged up, and it’s got the black smoke coming out of the exhaust pipe, and I’m just like, ‘I’m gonna hit this car.'”
You have to love this, glad no one was hurt, but man Belichick is scary. What is the wildest thing you have done to get out of being late? Let us know on Twitter.
