Look At These Slobbering Media Reviews Of Bill Belichick's Presser
With Aaron Hernandez facing charges for first-degree murder and on the verge of being charged with two more slayings, I think it's time that all of us asked the most important question, which is: HOW DID BILL BELICHICK DO IN HIS FIRST PRE-PRESEASON PRESS CONFERENCE?!

Hey, Baseball, You Can Stop Overcorrecting Now
