Bill Belichick: From head coach to backup singer

Posted by Chris Forsberg, Boston.com Staff March 13, 2009 10:46 PM

Patriots coach Bill Belichick showed a softer side of his personality at a recent charity benefit for the non-profit organization that Charlie Weis started for his daughter, called Hannah and Friends.

With Bon Jovi on stage, Belichick sang in the background along with Weis. Apparently, Bon Jovi said he’d donate $50,000 if Belichick sang, but Belichick countered and said he’d donate $60,000 if he didn’t have to sing.

This YouTube video sheds some light as to which bid was accepted.
