COMMENTARY
Given the storylines that have swirled around his Patriots over the first half of this year, Bill Belichick chose a most appropriate way to wrap up the team’s offseason program last week.
Instead of spending last Monday on the backfields of Gillette Stadium, he opted to turn Fenway Park into America’s Most Beloved Backyard. Instead of another day of drilling and installation, he went with cornhole and friendly competition. And instead of preparation, the focus was shifted to appreciation and fun.
Fun, of course, has for some been a focus of what’s happening in Foxborough for months now.
