Jul. 28—There have not been many sell-jobs here in the Belichick years with the New England Patriots.
Let's be honest. To Bill Belichick's credit, he cared little what the "know-it-all" types in the media — local and national — had to say. He owed us all nothing except production, and the man delivered with several exclamation points.
Tom Brady? A salesman? Nope. He went out and played quarterback then told you nothing after he did it, much to his coach's delight.
So why the heck do I feel like this Patriots offseason — OTAs, mini-camp and as of Wednesday, training camp — has been one, giant series of Belichick pop-up ads?
