Bill Belichick gave a lengthy quote explaining what the 2001 Patriots mean to him
"They'll always be right at the top for me in terms of teams and individuals that I admire."
Though he normally refrains from lavishing praise on his own team, past or present, Bill Belichick took time to reflect on the 2001 Patriots following a reunion at Gillette Stadium on Sunday.
On a day when the Super Bowl XXXVI champions were honored at halftime (marking the 15th anniversary of the season), Belichick offered a full analysis.
“They played the best,” Belichick said. “I don’t know if they were the best, talent-wise, but they played the best. And that’s why they were champions. They’ll always be right at the top for me in terms of teams and individuals that I admire, because of what they did. I mean the deck was stacked against us week after week after week.”
