It started Wednesday when the former New England Patriots coach took an unprompted shot at PFT, particularly the site’s creator Mike Florio.

The UNC head coach shut down a Pro Football Talk report that made the rounds on the internet earlier this month.

Bill Belichick was never really one to give too many compliments over the course of his two decades coaching Tom Brady. But now it seems the six-time Super Bowl champ wants to give his former QB his flowers in a big way.
