Belichick and Brady just keep rolling

'Non-human' coach and ageless quarterback have Patriots primed

MINNEAPOLIS, Minnesota - Only two months had passed, so there was no way Bill Belichick had already forgotten the Patriots had hoisted their second Lombardi Trophy in three years when New England opened minicamp in April.

"You would have thought we went 2-14," Patriots safety Devin McCourty said of the edge with which Belichick facilitated the team's first practice together after winning the Super Bowl over the Atlanta Falcons last February. "He was ripping us apart."
