FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Quick-hit thoughts and notes around the New England Patriots and NFL:
1. Same ol' Bill: Bill Belichick at 70 years old. Same as it ever was.
There were several takeaways from the media's first look at Patriots spring practice last week, but perhaps nothing rates more significant than this:
As Belichick attempts to do what no head coach in the history of the NFL has done -- win a Super Bowl after his 70th birthday -- his tank looks full. Belichick at a Patriots 2022 practice looked no different than a 2012 practice, or one in 2002.
