NFL Rumors: Bill Belichick’s Interest In Coaching Giants Is ‘Fake News’

Friday was a tough day for New England Patriots fans.

First, ESPN’s Seth Wickersham published a lengthy piece detailing a significant rift within the Patriots, one that could result in the breakup of perhaps the greatest dynasty in NFL history.
