Bill Belichick was his usual, short-answered self Saturday night after the Patriots lost to the Colts in Indianapolis.
On Monday, though, Bill Belichick was somebody else as he opened his morning press conference by apologizing to the media for being “short” with his answers.
I’m not kidding! That actually happened this morning!
Here’s the full quote from CBS Boston:
“Look, fellas, I apologize if I seemed like I was a little short with you after the game,” Belichick said. “You know, obviously a frustrating game, down 20 to nothing, didn’t do anything well enough. I mean, there isn’t really much to say at that point without watching the film. Clearly we had problems in every area, so there was no simple answer, and every play could have been better, every area of coaching could have been better, every area of playing could have been better. And any of that would have helped. So, not really trying to be short, but honestly, there wasn’t too much to say. I don’t know that there’s a whole lot more to say now.
“But it’s not your fault,” Belichick concluded. “It was a frustrating game.”
Is this bizarro world or something!?
NFL fans had lots of jokes about Belichick apologizing.
