Robert Kraft ended the Bill Belichick press conference with an awkward kissing joke
Who knew the final New England Patriots press conference involving Bill Belichick would be a barrel of laughs?
You think I’m kidding? It started with a great joke from Belichick: “I haven’t seen this many cameras since we signed [Tim] Tebow.”
HA!
And at the end? Well, owner Robert Kraft was less funny, more awkward, but got a chuckle when he remarked, “He’s got cold, so I’m not gonna kiss him.”
Belichick, not known for smiling much or laughing in front of reporters, broke out in a grin, so I guess it worked! Still awkward! And that’s how the Kraft and Belichick era ended:
