FOXBOROUGH — By the time Patriots coach Bill Belichick took the podium Saturday, he felt as though almost everything he wanted to say had already been said.
“Everybody up here has kind of stolen my thunder,” Belichick said. “All of the comments that have been made were, ‘Oh, I was going to say that,’ you know, ‘Oh, I was going to say that,’ or, ‘Hey, that was the story I was going to tell.’ "
But Belichick still delivered plenty of glowing remarks in honor of retired nose tackle Vince Wilfork, the latest inductee into the Patriots Hall of Fame.
