BILL BELICHICK ADMITS WINNING IS NOT AS FUN AS IT SEEMS

In a surprise turn of events, Bill Belichick opened up to reporters during a weekly press conference and started delving into what he would have done with all of his extra time if his Patriot teams had never entered the playoffs.

"I think about all the golf I missed and how much better my putting game would be," said Belichick, adding "I know winning is what the game is supposed to be about but it's harder to enjoy when you know that 30 other teams are with their families on a beach somewhere and I have to continue to get up at 4 am to head into dreary Foxborough to start game planning. If other coaches were not allowed to leave their home stadiums until the end of the Super Bowl then things would be different."

When asked to expand on why other coaches should stay in their stadiums, Belichick added, "It's not fair. Why should I have to work when other coaches are on vacation. That's all I'm saying. I know the Super Bowl rings are nice but I don't find real opportunities to wear them, unless I know Parcells is stopping by."
