Bill Belichick Gives a Very Belichick Answer About Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers

Bill Belichick is a treasure chest of dry, unenthused wisdom. 

He regards press conferences as irresponsible expenditures of oxygen and has about as much use for whimsical storylines as he does full-length sleeves. 

So when reporters began throwing up mawkish questions about Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers' greatness in the run-up to Sunday’s upcoming showdown between the New England Patriots and the Green Bay Packers, the Patriots coach answered in his patented droll manner.

Sports Illustrated’s Greg A. Bedard tweeted the verbatim of the exchange. Facing a question about the similarities between Brady and Rodgers, Belichick explained exactly how these two quarterbacks are alike:

SB Nation’s James Dator uploaded a Vine of Belichick’s answer, complete with his self-satisfied chuckle.

That laugh is the difference between today’s Belichick and earlier iterations. He knows when he’s giving a Belichick answer, and he revels in it a bit. When the Patriots are winning, he lets himself slip into the role of the jolly curmudgeon, as opposed to the one who slips out the back door and skips the presser altogether. 

The Patriots and the Packers play Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET. The matchup will see two of the greatest quarterbacks in the game face off in what could be a preview of the 2015 Super Bowl. And Bill Belichick will care about nothing besides the final score.
