Here are five words I never thought I would say during my blogging career: Bill Belichick is on Twitter. Well, sort of. On Tuesday night, the man who has made the hoodie famous held a Q&A session with fans on his girlfriend Linda Holliday’s account. Coming from a guy who always seems like he would rather have a root canal than answer questions, it was a bit of a surprise.
Then again, Twitter restricts you from tweeting anything that is more than 140 characters. By retweeting questions and answering them, Belichick had no choice but to give incredibly short answers. He probably wishes all of his press conferences could be held on Twitter so he’d have an excuse to be short with the media. Here were a few of the highlights:
Better coaching RT @cgrady040: @linda_holliday What does he think is the biggest priority for the Patriots this offseason?

Belichick has been known to ditch an interview or two in his day, so seeing him volunteer for one is pretty rare. Maybe Darrelle Revis was wrong about this guy after all.
