Sign of the times

Patriots head coach Bill Belichick took a detour off the field following this morning’s practice to sign autographs for a good 10 or 15 minutes, much to the delight of those in attendance, who filled the back field with chants of, “Belichick! Belichick!”
The coach had already jokingly referred to himself as the Celtics’ mascot during their run to the NBA title, and today he reflected on the unwavering support he has received from the fans of New England.
“The support’s been great and I appreciate it, personally and for our team,” Belichick said. “The fans here and other places in the area – being in an airport and someone comes up to you and says something positive – have been great since I’ve been here. I took the job in 2000 and the fan support has been really good. I really appreciate it and really feel I have a kind of personal connection.
