Could Bill Belichick’s shorter-than-usual press conference Friday be a message to his team?

September 22, 2023

Bill Belichick isn’t looking to filibuster a press conference at any point in time, but Friday morning’s end of the week presser lasted roughly three minutes. That’s short even for him. Usually, Friday’s are a bit more light-hearted and he’ll engage on just about anything, but not this time.
