Report: Why Patriots' Bill Belichick is more motivated than ever at age 70

Age 70 is typically a good time to retire, especially if you're an NFL head coach. But Bill Belichick isn't like most NFL head coaches.

Belichick turned 70 on Saturday and is still going strong entering his 23rd season leading the New England Patriots. In fact, Belichick might be going stronger than ever, according to Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer.

"I had someone there tell me that this offseason he’s actually working more than he has in the recent past, which only speaks to the fact that ... there really isn’t any place he’d rather be," Breer wrote of Belichick in his "MMQB" column Monday.
