PHOENIX -- Just call him Mr. Sunshine.
"It good to be out in the warm sunshine in Arizona," said a bubbly Bill Belichick, doffing his favorite hoodie and donning a suit to meet with the media at the Convention Center downtown after the Patriots practiced Monday at Arizona State in neighboring Tempe.
"We just got off the field a little while ago. It was good to get out and review some of the things we worked on in Foxboro last week, and also a couple of new things. We still have a lot of work left to do. The Giants are a very hard team to prepare for."
Naturally, Belichick was asked if wanted to comment on how Tom Brady, hobbled by a sprained ankle, looked in practice.
"No, not really," he replied. "He was out there, along with everybody else."
