Belichick tells ESPN ‘I actually enjoy the press conferences'

Share

Press conferences? Bill Belichick enjoys them. Honest.

Although it appears to be as comfortable as someone is a dentist's chair - for both the reporters and the coach - the New England Patriots coach told ESPN's Chris Berman in a one-on-one sitdown on "NFL Countdown" that, “I actually enjoy the press conferences because it’s the connection to the fans and that is really who I am talking to, is the fans. I am trying to give the fans information that I feel comfortable giving out. It’s not really about any one reporter."

And if his responses are terse and not always information-filled, it goes back to the Belichick mantra of "doing what's in the best interest of the team." 

"I hope our fans understand that for me to say detailed information about every single thing I am asked, I have to try and balance that. I enjoy talking to the fans and I do that through the media.”
