FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Football returns tonight with the Indianapolis Colts and Green Bay Packers playing in the Pro Football Hall of Fame game (ESPN, 8 p.m.), which had Bill Belichick reflecting Sunday on his first game as coach of the New England Patriots – the 2000 Hall of Fame game.
Sparked by a question from longtime Patriots reporter Tom E. Curran, Belichick reminisced about the ’00 game in which the Patriots beat the San Francisco 49ers, 20-0.
From a Patriots perspective, it was a chance to compare sixth round draft choice Tom Brady and 49ers seventh-round pick Tim Rattay.
