Usually, the Bill Belichick press conference is a dry affair. Reporters ask Belichick questions, Belichick gives dry answers and it’s wash, rinse, repeat.
However on Friday, Belichick chose to go after meteorologists saying, “If I did my job the way they do theirs, I’d be here about a week.”
The hoodie was particularly annoyed about wrong weather forecasts, “When you play in New England, you’ve got to be ready for everything. Based on the forecasts we’ve gotten so far this year, none of them were very close to what the game conditions were. There was a 100 percent chance of rain last week, and the only water I saw was on the Gatorade table.”
That’s cold. He continued: “My experience of going with the forecast, in this area, two days before the game, I’d bet a lot that they’re wrong, just based on history, because they’re almost always wrong. An hour before the game? Maybe, you might have something to work with there. But if you start game planning for what the weather is going to be and you game plan wrong, you’ve wasted a lot of time.”
Lastly, “Look, I’m not saying I could do it better than them. I’m just saying they’re wrong a lot. That’s a fact. They’re wrong a lot.”
Well, the moral of the story is that if you’re a meteorologist, you’re not a friend of Bill Belichick.
