Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots announced their parting of ways Thursday, holding a brief news conference to officially announce the seismic news. But to start the somber affair, the usually-dry coach uncharacteristically started the presser with a joke about one of his former players.
“Hi, morning,” Belichick said to the reporters in attendance. “Haven’t seen this many cameras since we signed Tebow.”
The legendary coach is referring to former quarterback Tim Tebow, and he earned a couple of laughs in the process. New England signed the former New York Jets and Denver Broncos signal-caller in June 2013 but released him just two months later prior to the start of the regular season.
