Son meme:
Steve Belichick doesn’t seem too enthused about his newfound social media fame.
The son of Patriots head coach Bill Belichick — and a longtime defensive coach on his father’s staff — became the subject of a viral meme parade when New England suffered a 19-17 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Oct. 3.
Fans flooded Twitter with candid, in-game photos that showed Belichick’s animated faces, accompanied by his long mullet haircut — a signature hairstyle he’s been rocking for a while.
Did play football:
It is fair to wonder why Jones and the rest of the front-line players will get most of the night off. Especially when the entire offense would benefit from real-time work with Offensive Coordinator X running the show from the sidelines.
Since Belichick isn’t going to bare his soul on why they’re sitting, here’s the litany of reasons he’d likely give.
Preseason games pale in value compared to joint practices, and the Patriots have a slew of those coming up with the Panthers and Raiders. He’s discussed it with us annually and it makes sense. You get to rep situations over and over.
