When it comes down to emotion, Belichick shows his emotion by talking about the history of the game.
Pioli talks about how the Patriots head coach spent time around Halas, thanks to his dad.
His respect for the history of the greats of the NFL, which paves the way for people like Belichick, means more to him.
While others might not see this, the Patriots’ head coach has the highest respect for the greats of the NFL.
