Who says Bill Belichick doesn't have a sense of humor?
During media day the coach was asked, essentially, what would be the harm of being forthcoming with injuries (in particular one ankle injury to a certain starting quarterback). Belichick's answer was that they comply with league rules. Yes, the question asker continued, but why not give a percentage. Brady is 80 percent, 90 percent?
Belichcik said it's because he doesn't know and would never be able to give an accurate answer to the percent question.
Next question for Bill: Sounds like you have a little bit of a cold?
"Yeah," he said, "I'm at somewhere between 40 and 92 percent."
