A former Patriots assistant offered a theory about Bill Belichick’s stare

At the end of a pregame interview on Sunday, CBS reporter Dana Jacobson asked Bill Belichick about the decision to release wide receiver Antonio Brown.

Belichick responded by simply saying, “Yeah, we’re focused on the Jets.” As Jacobson then thanked the Patriots coach for his time, Belichick hesitated and stared at Jacobs0n.

The stare drew some criticism from other members of the media, including The Atlantic staff writer Jemele Hill, who called it “weak and unprofessional.”

Dana did her job. This is what you get paid to do as a journalist. Those in power have to be held accountable.
