An excited Bill Belichick stood at the podium before practice Monday and clapped his hands as he saw longtime ESPN host Chris Berman enter the room.
“Boomer!” exclaimed Belichick before the pair shared a brief exchange.
Belichick said it was an “honor” to have Berman there and told the NFL PrimeTime host that he looked good.
The six-time Super Bowl champion coach also let Berman have the first and last questions of the press conference.
Berman opened by asking if coaching was “still fun” for Belichick after more than four decades in the NFL.
