FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – When New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick was interviewed for a piece in Lacrosse magazine earlier this month, he had fun projecting some of his football players to the sport. Tom Brady the goalie, Julian Edelman the midfielder, Rob Gronkowski at crease attack.
Now, with the NCAA Final Four set for this weekend in Philadelphia (broadcast on ESPN2), the idea is to keep it light and take the football/lacrosse comparison one step further. To do so, we’ve recruited Sean Quirk, coach of the Boston Cannons of Major League Lacrosse, the premier outdoor lacrosse league.
