Fashion statement

Belichick vs. McDaniels (Globe and Wire Photos)

Broncos first-year coach Josh McDaniels -- the Patriots former offensive coordinator -- sported a hooded sweatshirt on the sidelines during Denver's second exhibition game against the Seattle Seahawks on Saturday.

Obviously, that's a familiar look for Patriots coach Bill Belichick, which led to this little back and forth with reporters during Belichick's Q&A with the media Sunday:

Q: They showed Josh McDaniels on TV last night on the sidelines wearing a sweatshirt with the sleeves rolled up. Did you offer any fashion advice to him?

BB: We spent a lot of time on that.

Q: He didn’t go cut. He just rolled them up.

BB: Yeah, he’s probably trying to make his own statement then.

  1. Classic Bill. I love it.... Why does the media try anymore??? They don't get anything out of him that matters. I love it

  1. Yeah, Josh wears the majical socks which contain something red. BTW Josh needs a head-band, not a cap.

  1. No way, that was Bill showing his sense of humor! "We spent a lot of time on that" is typical of his deadpan comedic style. Don't rag the media, they got a good line out of him

  1. Bill is hilarious. I love his dry humor.

  1. I thought Bill might offer, "Well, he's a rookie coach. He's still got some personal time management skills to learn. It sounds like he's wasting a lot of time pulling his sleeves up every game."

    However, I have to admit that it is comical how bad the sweatshirts look when Bill cuts the v-neck and hood off.

  1. The rest of the world comments on women's fashion, such as whether Michele Obama should have worn shorts when visiting the Grand Canyon in August. Go tell Ms. Magazine that someone, anyone, has discussed men's fashion for once.

  1. Very funny BB. Josh needs to get his own style - Mangini never has.

  1. The hoodie is nothing is only part of the "NEW" Josh. My brother sent me a video showing McDaniels twirling his whistle around his fingers during practice just the way BB does. Too funny.

  1. If you want to be the best you have to dress, act, and think like the best.
