Tell us again how long New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick has been stonewalling the press?
Oh, right – all 15 years he’s been here.
Yesterday’s press conference in the wake of the latest Act of Goodell was, of course, no exception.
Page One of the Boston Globe’s Sports section:
The relevant part:
Didn’t mince words? Not to get technical about it, but that’s all Belichick does.
Crosstown at the Boston Herald, Steve Buckley gave a representative sample of Mr. Hoodie’s evasive maneuvers.
Media member: “Do you believe Tom Brady when he says that neither he nor anyone in the Patriots organization did anything wrong?”
Belichick: “We start training camp today. We’ll get ready for the 2015 season starting today.”
Media member: “Is there something flawed about the system here in the organization that you keep ending up in these cheating controversies? Can you explain why?”
Belichick: “It’s already been addressed.”
Media member: “Could you elaborate a little?”
Belichick: “No.”
Media member: “Why not?”
Belichick: “Because it’s already been addressed.”
And Herald columnist Karen Guregian gave the Globe a bit of an English lesson.
Robert Kraft’s on-again, off-again war with Roger Goodell and the NFL is back on . . .
There was no mincing words. Kraft believes he got screwed when he put his reputation on the line with Patriots fans by standing down and choosing not to fight the league’s unprecedented punishment of his team.
