Bill Belichick shares incredible story about spending $5K on milk for Tom Brady

Bill Belichick shared quite the story about his efforts to forge a bond between Tom Brady and Antonio Brown during the brief period when both played for the New England Patriots.

In an appearance on Ryan Clark’s “The Pivot” podcast, Belichick discussed his management of star players during his time in the NFL, and shared one example from his new book, “The Art of Winning: Lessons from My Life in Football.” The coach revealed that he spent $5,000 on milk in 2019 in order to try and strengthen the budding relationship between Brady and Brown.

“Tom had Antonio come and stay at his house, wanted to embrace him, bring him onto the team,” Belichick recalled. “Antonio ordered this special milk for Brady, cost $5,000. To make a long story short, it got mixed up and ended up in the mail room for too long, and the milk went bad.

“We go out and get $5,000 worth of this special milk, and give it to Brady from Antonio. Sometimes, you’ve just got to do the right thing, and I didn’t want to ruin the relationship between Brown and Brady on this spoiled milk.”
