When Belichick refuses to give the media and thus, opposing organizations any relevant intel or insights into his team, his players follow suit. The most notable example came last January after New England embarrassed the Los Angeles Chargers in the divisional round of the playoffs.

The Patriots are not out to win new fans, nor do they care to score points for etiquette.
Fuck the Patriots! I hate the New England Patriots! The Patriots suck!
BetAgainstUs pic. He or his social media representative intentionally sings the praises of Kansas City, while unabashedly framing the Patriots as the underdog that nobody believes in. And fun it is so far for Edelman, who is cashing in on the Brady quote and ensuing media fracas to market a new t-shirt. No one can blame Edelman for capitalizing on a rare New England playoff appearance as a plucky underdog. But are the Patriots really a plucky underdog, or are they just manipulating a rather unbelievable narrative into some kind of motivational tactic?
