FOXBORO — It has been a painful Patriots season up to now, with the workforce falling to 1-5 after Sunday’s loss to the Raiders in Las Vegas. It is exhausting to seek out any positives on this dreadful begin, and even get pleasure from a little bit of fun right here and there.
There are many laughs going round, however they’re on the expense of the Patriots. In New England, we’re used to laughing at everybody else, however these days appear to be over.
At the very least we obtained slightly little bit of readability on a really non-important and barely humorous topic on Monday morning: What does Invoice Belichick have towards microphones on the postgame podium?
On Sunday, Belichick fumbled round with the NFL’s microphone earlier than addressing reporters after his workforce’s 21-17 loss. It is not the primary time Belichick has tried to maneuver the mic, solely to get flustered and easily take it down off its stand.
It is type of turn into a practice with Belichick’s pressers, which do not actually supply a lot of the rest. And sabotaging the microphones could be a intelligent Belichickian technique to get out of his postgame obligations.
However that is not what that is all about. On Monday morning’s video name with reporters — so there have been no microphones in entrance of the pinnacle coach — NBC Sports activities Boston’s Tom E. Curran requested Belichick why he retains shifting the microphones on the podium.
“So I can see you guys,” Belichick fired again with a smile.
There you will have it. That is what Belichick goes with, even though the microphones are nowhere close to his eye degree or in any method impede his line of sight. Nevertheless it appears easy sufficient.
At the very least the pinnacle coach remains to be discovering methods to have a couple of seconds of enjoyable with reporters in an in any other case depressing season.
