In the end, Tom Brady just wanted to say goodbye -- in person -- to his longtime coach. But according to a new book to be published next month, Bill Belichick said he wasn't available and insisted the two New England Patriots legends talk on the phone.
Even though Belichick told Brady that he was "the best player the league had ever seen," Brady told a friend the fact it came over the phone was "telling" about how badly the duo's relationship had deteriorated over the of years. The book, "It's Better to Be Feared," by ESPN senior writer Seth Wickersham, will be published Oct.
