Video: Bill Belichick films Subway commercial
Bill Belichick and Happy Gilmore will have something in common before very long.
Belichick apparently is becoming a spokesperson for Subway. He recently was spotted in Branford, Conn. filming a commercial for the sandwich chain.

According to the New Haven Register, the New England Patriots head coach drew a sizable crowd while filming the commercial, no surprise.
Belichick has the image of a mostly no-nonsense coach, which has helped him win six Super Bowls as a head coach and eight overall. That image has led to some criticism from opponents. That’s why seeing Belichick possibly loosened up in a commercial would truly be something. Maybe without Tom Brady around, he feels like he’s ready to take up the spotlight.
