If there's one person who does not have time for your dumb questions, look no further than New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick. One reporter learned that the hard way after the Patriots (10-3) had their eight-game winning streak snapped in a 27-20 loss to the Miami Dolphins (6-7) on Monday Night Football.
While answering questions after the game at the Patriots' press conference podium, Belichick was asked by a reporter if New England had looked ahead past Miami to Week 15's matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
“No,” Belichick said, shaking his head in disgust. “Give me a break. Any questions about the game, or no?”
A video of the interaction between coach Belichick and the unnamed member of the media was posted on Twitter by Sports Illustrated:

Another question asked by one of the reporters was about the Pats' onside kick attempt with less than one minute in regulation. Belichick only needed three words for his response.
”They recovered it,” Belichick said with a shrug.
Classic Bill.
As for Patriots superstar quarterback Tom Brady, he threw for 233 yards and one touchdown in the loss. However, Brady was intercepted twice by Dolphins cornerback Xavien Howard and had the New England offense go 0-for-11 on third down conversion attempts. According to ESPN Stats & Info, the Patriots did not convert a third down in a game for the first time since 1991.
While the bigger story of the game should be the lost, the main talking points will likely be how the Hall of Fame level coach interacted with the media after.
