Belichick statement on Halberstam
Patriots coach Bill Belichick released a statement a few minutes ago, speaking about author David Halberstam, who died in a car accident in California earlier today.
Halberstam, a Pulitzer Prize-winning author who was working on a book about the 1958 NFL Championship game between the Baltimore Colts and New York Giants (a fond memory from Belichick's childhood), also wrote "Education of a Coach," the biography of Belichick that also shed light on the relationship Belichick had with his late father, Steve.
"It was a privilege and honor to watch David practice his craft and an even greater one to call him a friend. David was as warm, considerate, intelligent, interesting and accomplished a person as I have ever met and his loss is heartbreaking."
Halberstam was 73.
