New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick is not a fan of international games and volcanoes. No. You read that correctly. There's no need to read that first sentence over again.
Here is Bill Belichick on if he would want to go back to play another game outside the states:
“Personally I wouldn’t be in any big rush to do it again,” Belichick said. “It’s a long way to go for a game. There’s a lot in terms of all the logistics of it. They are not used to having an NFL team, so you have to go in there and handle a lot of the logistics. It took a lot of manpower, a lot of hours, a lot of energy out of our organization to do that. We are exhausted from the trip.”
“It was a good trip but it took a lot out of us,” Belichick said. “It’s a lot. We spent a lot of time talking about altitude, about hydration, about food, water, training elements — much more so than, say, Denver. Pick another city that has some similarities, but it is quite a bit different.”
Anyway, let's stop burying the lede. Here is the Patriots coach discussing acts of god for some reason.
“We dealt with it. Players did a great job dealing with all the challenges we had to deal with. I think we’re fortunate there was no volcano eruptions or earthquakes, or anything else while we were down there. You have two NFL franchises in an area that I don’t know how stable the geological plates that were below us [were], but nothing happened, so that was good.”
God bless this fine man.
