Setting in Annapolis contributed to unique Bill Belichick CNBC interview

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick’s interview Thursday with CNBC’s “Power Lunch” on leadership, competition and football had several notable nuggets that are worthy of being flushed out.

The first thing to note was the location: Mission BBQ in Annapolis, Maryland.

“Your choice,” noted interviewee Suzy Welch, before asking Belichick: “Why are we eating here?”

“Well, first of all, I love Annapolis. This is home,” he answered. “I love what Mission BBQ stands for. I love their message, the fact they support the people that serve. When I was here last night, they were packing up a few hundred pounds of their barbeque to ship off to Iraq.
