(Reuters) - New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick, growing tired of conspiracy theories regarding his team, lashed out on Friday at reports suggesting the Super Bowl champions are always seeking off-the-field ways to gain a competitive advantage.
Belichick denied that Thursday night's headset problems in the NFL season-opener were part of a plan to disrupt the sideline communications of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
"Tying this in with a couple of things from last week or earlier in the week, I just think overall, it’s kind of sad, really, to see some stories written that obviously have an agenda to them with misinformation and anonymous-type comments," Belichick said in a teleconference.
