Belichick Speaks Out About Patriots Controversies - "It's Kind of Sad"

Patriots head coach Bill Belichick has never been considered an “elegant orator” when speaking with the media during press conferences. Belichick has become popularly known as a secretive and sometimes arrogant coach that’s infamous for giving one word answers or catchphrases that he recites on a loop frustrating those digging for any kind of answers in the process.

After Thursday’s opening night victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers, that same media was treated to a rare side of Belichick many have heard publicly during an early Friday morning conference call.

When asked about the latest headset controversy, Belichick went out of his way to explain his disappointment with the media by saying, “I’d just say, you know, tying this in with a couple of things from last week, or earlier in the week, I just think overall it’s kind of sad, really, to see some stories written that obviously have an agenda to them with misinformation and anonymous type comments.
