In true Bill Belichick fashion, he surprised everyone Thursday night when he arrived at the podium wearing a University of Houston hat in honor of a city that suffered serious devastation thanks to hurricane Harvey.
Belichick appeared in front of the media following Thursday night’s 40-38 loss to the Giants and immediately took a moment to send his thoughts out to the city where the team won their fifth championship back in February.
“I want to give a little shout out to Houston,” said Belichick as he opened his press conference. “We had a great experience down there in February, a lot of great relationships with the Texans and the University [of Houston] down there. We’ve got some players with some family down there, so we just want to let them know we’re thinking about them.”
