Patriots coach Bill Belichick had an uncharacteristic reaction when a reporter’s young child crashed a virtual press conference on Monday, one day after the team’s 50-10 blowout win against the Jaguars.
When NBC Sports Boston reporter Phil Perry asked about wideout Kristian Wilkerson being activated, his young child began yelling in the background.
Belichick, who’s known for his stern demeanor, appeared to enjoy the moment, and immediately cracked a smile.
When the reporter apologized for “the background noise,” Belichick laughed and said, “No worries. I can see you’re multi-tasking here.”
Patriots coach Bill Belichick cracked a smile during a recent press conference when a reporter’s child accidentally crashed it. TwitterThe reporter replied, “It’s not going well as you can tell,” to which Belichick admitted, “Yeah, we’ve all been there.”
Perry tweeted about the moment, writing, “Crowd noise was a factor.”
It’s obvious that Belichick, a father of three, understands the trials and tribulations of parenting, but it was nice to see the six-time Super Bowl winner have a wholesome moment in a press conference.
