FOXBORO, Mass. — Bill Belichick is committed to the bit, perhaps to the bitter end.
With speculation swirling regarding his job status with the Patriots, Belichick began what might be his final week in New England by being his typically inscrutable self. Wednesday, the unofficial start of game weeks at Gillette Stadium, felt like it could’ve been plucked from any other point in Belichick’s Patriots tenure.
It started with a curveball to reporters — albeit a welcomed one.
It’s commonplace for Belichick to change media availability schedules at the last minute, and they typically make life more difficult for reporters.
