Patriots’ Bill Belichick to young reporter: ‘Fantasy football doesn’t mean anything to me’

New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick gave an expected answer to a question about fantasy football and the NFL on Thursday at Patriots training camp.

In the least surprising news of NFL training camps, New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick is not a fan of fantasy football. 

In his Thursday press conference at Patriots training camp, Belichick was asked whether he felt that fantasy football was good for the NFL. 

His response to the question was exactly what fans of football would expect.

"Honestly, I don’t really have any opinion on that because fantasy football doesn’t mean anything to me," Belichick said on Thursday. "We’re just trying to win games out here. So, I don’t know who’s hot, who’s not, who wins, who doesn’t. I don’t really care about that. I just care about whether we win."

"Yeah, have fun with that."

The question on fantasy football was posed by a young 14-year-old reporter, who Belichick had recognized in front of the other media members.

"I think Mac’s done a great job. He's worked extremely hard. He’s got a tremendous work ethic in all areas. I think there's a dramatic improvement," he told reporters. "His physical work and conditioning, working on his mechanics, working on his footwork, working on his understanding of our offense, of opponent defenses, of situations, all those things."

"We talk about all those things in various degrees, some more emphasis than others, and the emphasis on maybe some other things that will come later on. We can't do it all at once, but he's worked hard."
