Bill Belichick has never used the term, nor understood the ‘Patriot Way’

Once a curmudgeon, always a curmudgeon.

According to Sports Illustrated’s Khadrice Rollins, New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick isn’t about to dignify what he believes to be a made-up concept with a proper response. Long known for discussing strictly football matters, he wasn’t about to break that habit to talk about matters of culture or mythology with the media.

Asked during his weekly conference call with reporters on Tuesday whether or not he believed new acquisition Antonio Brown would disturb the team dynamic he’s helped to instill, he shrugged off any such notion, pointing out that the media spun a similar narrative when he traded for Oakland malcontent Randy Moss back in 2007 as well… and that experiment proved pretty successful for the Pats.
