Bill Belichick Is a Man of Few Characters

Belichick takes to Twitter ... sort of. He answers questions at least.

Generally speaking, you’d have a better chance of busting into the papal conclave and prying intel out of the college of Cardinals than getting Patriots Coach Bill Belichick to expound on an answer. The dude simply does not like talking to the press—listening to him, you get the sense that every word he utters in public is one more word than he’d like. Which is why it was such a surprise—and delight!—late last night when he did an impromptu Twitter Q&A session.

Well, sort of. His girlfriend Linda Holliday did an impromptu Twitter Q&A session, where she relayed the masses’ questions, and Lord Hoodie offered a reply.
