It takes a lot for New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick to say something noteworthy in a press conference but he put out some rather shocking comments about Carolina Panthers head coach Matt Rhule.
The Patriots are facing the Panthers this Friday and Belichick wasted little time to say something so controversial that it’ll no doubt become bulletin board material. Belichick described Rhule as a “football guy” and that the two of them “have a lot in common.”

Okay I’m being sarcastic but it’s preseason NFL, we can all have a little bit of fun. Even Belichick seemed to be having a bit of fun with his big smile at the end of the clip.
Many others had some fun with the clip as well.
