While we await the proforma Shank column comparing Tom Brady to his Los Angeles Rams counterpart (Jared Goff), we'll have to settle
for more fake palace intrigue.
Who is the mysterious Berj Najarian, Bill Belichick’s right-hand man?
ATLANTA — He is Tom Hagen in “The Godfather.’’ He is Doug Stamper on “House of Cards.’’
What's this? A 21
st century pop culture reference? Impressive!
He is Berj Najarian, consigliere to Bill Belichick. He is The Man To See if you want to see Bill.
“You’re never going to get to Bill unless you go through Berj,’’ said Scott Zolak, a Patriot insider for three decades. “Berj is the guy who dictates who Bill talks to.’’
“Everybody knows Berj runs the show down there,’’ added Troy Brown, a three-time Super Bowl winner with Belichick. “You had to go to Berj for everything. You’d walk in the front door and the first guy you’d see is Berj. He was in charge the whole time I was there.’’
Najarian is one of the most powerful figures on the Boston sports landscape, yet most fans have never heard of him. There isn’t much to find about him on the Internet. Najarian makes no sound and leaves no footprints.
Is he on loan from the mob? Is he a Russian agent or a contract hitman? Read on to find out!
