Things just keep getting stranger and stranger with Bill Belichick.
The legendary New England Patriots coach broke his silence Wednesday, releasing a statement about the recent bizarre interview that took place with “CBS Sunday Morning,” which was intended to promote his new book, “The Art of Winning: Lessons from My Life in Football.”

Belichick in his statement, which was put out by the University of North Carolina where he is the head football coach, said he expected the interview to be solely about his book and defended Hudson by claiming CBS edited the interview to create a “false narrative” around Hudson’s involvement.
