WATCH Bill Belichick explains why Colts fans in Indianapolis are so nice to him

No one ever expects Bill Belichick to smile or laugh, much le s to jump on television for live coverage of the NFL Combine and crack jokes. But thats exactly what he did on Sunday when he popped in the NFL Network booth with Rich Eisen and Mike Mayock.Eisen and Mayock were talking with fellow NFLN colleague Willie McGinest, who was down on the field during defensive linemen drills, when they announced they had a pal of McGinests coming into Nyheim Hines Jersey the booth. To everyones surprise, Belichick was in the pre s box (where Im usually not, he said), hanging out.I hadnt been in a pre s box since New England in 96, when I coached the secondary, Belichick said.The two then went back and forth about some memories, and Curtis Brooks Jersey Belichick pointed out that in a game at the old RCA Dome in Indianapolis, McGinest once stuffed a short-yardage play late (he tackled Edgerrin James at the 1-yard line in 2003 on fourth-and-1 to win 38-34), and the would go on to make the playoffs and win the Super Bowl. The next year, McGinest help beat the in New England during the first week of the season as well.McGinest noted that he doesnt like to tell stories about taking Anthony Coyle Jersey out the Colts while hes in Indy, for obvious reasons. Coach you know when I talk about those Colts stories here, the service becomes a little slower, I dont get my room made up as fast. Its not a warm welcome, so I dont tell those stories when Im here, McGinest said.Belichick -- who, by the way, is wearing a VI Rings sweatshirt while in Indy -- then noted that hes been more than welcome in Indy ever since he decided to go for it on a short-down play late with the Pats leading the Colts by 6. He probably meant the infamous Fourth-and-2 play from November 2009, or, .When I came to Indianapolis, they, everything, threw stuff at me, yelled at me and Donald Brown Jersey everything else, Belichick said. Then when I went on it for fourth-and-1 and got stopped, ever since then its been Hey coach, good to see you, hows it going? The Colts wouldnt actually win the whole thing that year, but they did go 14-2 and make it to the Super Bowl. The Patriots would finish 10-6 and lose to the in the first round of the playoffs (you may recall Ray Rice ripping off a huge run to start the game). . hands the headset over to... HC Bill Belichick!This is awesome. Rob Windsor Jersey NFL (@NFL)
