New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick isn’t happy with reporters asking if Tom Brady will remain the starter after he serves a four-game suspension.
CSNNE reporter Tom Curran tweeted that Belichick simply responded “Jesus Christ” when asked if there was a scenario that would lead to backup Jimmy Garoppolo remaining the starter in week five. (RELATED: Patriots Coach Bill Belichick Has No Patience For Reporters Wasting His Time [VIDEO])
Belichick, asked if there was a scenario in which Garoppolo would be named starter in Week 5, shakes head and mutters “Jesus Christ”

Curran also pointed out that he thinks it’s the first time Belichick has ever responded to a question in such a fashion. (SLIDESHOW: This Gorgeous Woman Might Be The Sexiest Girlfriend In The NFL)
That’s the first recorded press conference JC in memory.

Indeed, it was perhaps the dumbest question in the history of sports questions.
Garoppolo is a talented player, but there’s not a coach alive who is benching his future hall of fame quarterback for a guy who has barely played at all.
