Glass of orange juice was highlight of Bill Belichick's coaches breakfast conversation
Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch made nonresponsiveness into performance art, but New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick has mastered the art of saying nothing to the press while actually saying something -- not saying anything substantive but answering questions and uttering words.
The Super Bowl XLIX-winning head coach took his turn during the head coaches breakfast at the NFL owner meetings in Phoenix, Arizona on Tuesday, and I assure you that this is the highlight of the conversation:

Just a man slugging back some vitamin-C packed juice, wishing he were anywhere else.
But there is more from the teeth-pulling 40-minute chat, which played more like an interrogation. Belichick even did some work for the reporters, telling them that Darrelle Revis leaving for the Jets in free agency is "Not a big story."
I don’t think that's how that works RT @DougKyedNESN: Will Belichick be in Madden this year? “I don’t know. You should ask John about that.”

So how does one crack an unbreakable shell? Just ask him.
"I'm trying to get an answer about Brandon Browner that's not going to get a 'Well, it's NFL free agency,'" one reporter told the coach. "Can you help me with that?"
"Not really," Belichick said.
