FOXBORO, Mass. -- The only topic of conversation -- seven questions, to be exact -- during Bill Belichick's press conference Friday was on wide receiver Antonio Brown, and the New England Patriots head coach was in no mood to discuss off-field matters relating to the 31-year-old star.

A report from Sports Illustrated surfaced late Thursday night alleging that Brown has sent intimidating texts to a woman who's accused him of sexual misconduct. This new report sparked fresh questions asked to Belichick about Brown involving matters outside of football.

Belichick had little patience for these questions.

After the Patriots coach made an opening statement on Sunday's Week 3 matchup with the New York Jets, Belichick explained he wasn't going to talk about off-field subjects about Brown, but that he would "be happy" to answer football-related questions.

About three and a half minutes later, Belichick grew tired of off-the-field questions regarding Brown, and he cut the presser short and left the room.

“OK, so, yeah. Yeah. I’m good,” Belichick said. “Thank you. I think we had enough of that.”

Here's the end of Belichick's presser:

Belichick was asked earlier in the press conference if Brown would be available to play Sunday. His answer was simply, "He's on our roster."
