When it comes to press conferences, they don’t get more boring, mundane and lacking in entertainment than the head of the New England Patriots, Bill Belichick. Although Lovie Smith and Jay Cutler of the Chicago Bears are pretty bad too.
If you haven’t seen NFL Films Sound FX Bill Belichick, I highly implore you to do so! You’ll see BB has a personality after all; at least with his players. He swears (not Rex Ryan level, but some cursing nonetheless), talks shop about cars and trucks with his players and spends time with his son. You’ll see that he’s human after all; not a Darth Sweatshirt.

The Hoodie is just misunderstood by the media. In recent years he went through a bad divorce (not like there’s any other kind) and was named “the other man” in a bitter divorce involving a New York Giants employee. So as brilliant and as ambitious as he is, he’s actually just like the rest of us. He struggles to navigate through the batshit insanity that is a manageable committed, serious relationship with the opposite sex. (See the latest American divorce rate).
Belichick has a personality, and you can see it by going to Pats Propaganda.com which has AWESOME wallpaper, and may become my new favorite website. They have posted all three parts of said mentioned NFL Films video.
