Belichick apologizes to media

An apology to the media? The Bill Belichick we know and love would never do that.

Bill Belichick Apologizes To Media For Short Answers After Colts Loss: 'It's Not Your Fault'

Bill Belichick felt compelled to apologize to the media for his terse answers. Though his virtual press conference over Zoom was supposed to begin with questions from reporters, Belichick instead made an opening statement.

Kidding of course. Interesting though. tbh, I like the fact that he's able to do that.

Maybe just playing the media up for that coach of the year award. Gotta do what ya gotta do. LOL

He doesn't have much practice at it, though... could have been a lot worse...

 

[RobertWeathers]

Well this is a first.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Fire him

 

[VectorPrime]

He was clearly visited by the Ghosts of Christmas

Felger and Mazz now have their material for this week...

Is this the onion?

 

[Pats2000]

Up is down, left is right, and I don't know anything anymore

Either that or he is in the 12 step program.

 

[signbabybrady]

I wouldn't apologize to those jackals. Sports journalists as a profession is pond scum.

I often wonder who hates themselves enough to spend any time listening to those clowns.

 

[DropKickFlutie]

Completely understandable from BB.
Down 20-0 and gave up 225 rushing yards.

He has 2 kids on staff so probably realized this was the right thing to do as a good example. Good for BB.

Nothing to see here

They are an essential part of professional sports. Also, the vast majority of them simply do their jobs and report facts. The “jackals” usually arent the journalists, they tend to be broadcasters. I’m happy BB is treating the press like people lately.

 

[bresna]

Wow... that was incredible. I really liked that he answered even the "stupid" questions. On his best day, he usually avoids those. I think the journalists were probably in heaven when he answered some of them. The "Why did you kick a field goal" even got an answer. Just... wow.

The comments section of The Athletic's article on this are pretty funny.

Bill Belichick apologizes to press for curt responses after Saturday's loss to Colts

"It's not your fault," Belichick told reporters on Monday, about the Patriots' 27-17 loss to the Colts. "It was a frustrating game."

@PETER W. I actually think there is some truth to this. Perhaps he is finally aging/mellowing/becoming comfortable enough with his success that he does need to jerk people around quite as much. Scotty Bowman followed a similar path in his last few years coaching.

It's ok Bill, it's the media and they don't deserve much respect as is. Nice gesture regardless though.

They say sometime after that press conference...his hear grew 3 sizes.

 

[maust]

BB is nobody's fool, he apologizes and there isn't a week's worth of his players being asked about how pissed off he is. It's not as though he meant it or even worse, smiled and shook hands with the press. He just worked 'em and moved on.
