If the NFL and Amazon were hoping for a co-sign for “Thursday Night Football” they didn’t get one from Bill Belichick.
During Sunday’s broadcast of Patriots-Chargers, CBS’ Spero Dedes and Adam Archuleta shared an interesting note from their pregame meetings with the Pats head coach.
We’ve had some pretty enjoyable meetings and chats with Bill Belichick. I tell ya one thing we learned about coach the other day, he’s not a streaming guy. You asked him if he watched ‘Thursday Night Football.’ He said, ‘What’s that, that streaming thing? Nah, I don’t do that.’
