Apparently, President Donald Trump and Patriots coach Bill Belichick were talking about more than Tom Brady on the phone this week.

Trump has nominated his friend Bill Belichick to the President's Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition.

Yankees future Hall of Famer Mariano Rivera, Olympic volleyball player Misty May Treanor and Pro Football Hall of Famer Herschel Walker were nominated as co-chairs of the Council. Walker signed with the Trump-owned New Jersey Generals of the USFL back in 1983.

Among the other Trump nominees for two-year terms on the Council, which has among its goals encouraging kids to get involved in sports, are ex-Red Sox and Yankees outfielder Johnny Damon, TV's "Dr. Oz" - Dr. Mehmet Oz - and the "Incredible Hulk" - actor Lou Ferrigno, the former bodybuilder who played the Hulk in the late '70s TV series.
