Bill Belichick has been at his job for decades. He has stood at a lectern and done the media tour more than most of us could count. It’s no surprise he has a reputation for an occasionally cold, noncommital, or cold response to a reporter. The man has been there and heard that and just wants his team to do their job.
But at this point in the future Hall of Fame coach’s career, his penchant for deadpan commentary has become iconic in the NFL’s annals. Belichick sniping at a question or refusing to say anything of substance is like a Groundhog Day for pro football. If he says something while grumbling and annoyed, then that means the NFL is back. If he doesn’t, wait at least six more weeks.
