Former Patriots coach Bill Belichick joins “Instaface”

IN THE LAST FOUR GAMES. I NEVER THOUGHT I'D LIVE THE DAY WHEN LEGENDARY COACH BILL BELICHICK, A KNOWN GHOST WHO HAS NO USE FOR SOCIAL MEDIA, NOW HAS MORE TIME ON HIS HANDS WITHOUT A COACHING JOB. SO WHAT IS HE DOING? HE'S JOINING INSTA FACE. THAT'S RIGHT. THE 72-YEAR-OLD IS NOW ON INSTAGRAM. HE ALREADY HAS 147,000 FOLLOWERS AND HIS ACCOUNT IS ONLY THREE HOURS OLD. HE EVEN POSTED HIS FIRST VIDEO, OR I SHOULD SAY, PROBABLY HAD SOMEONE DO IT FOR HIM. AND IT'S GOLD. HELLO EVERYONE. SURPRISED TO SEE ME HERE? OH, I AM TOO. FOR THE PAST MONTHS, WITH ME NOT BEING WITH THE TEAM, I HAVEN'T HAD THE CHANCE TO EXPRESS MY THOUGHTS RIGHT AWAY. I'M CHANGING THAT NOW. I TRIED TO JOIN SNAP FACE BUT COULDN'T FIND IT. I DECIDED THIS WAS A GOOD PLACE FOR ME TO TALK TO YOU AND TELL YOU WHAT I'M UP TO BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT GOING ON HERE. SO HERE I AM. HELLO INSTA FACE. SEE YOU SOON. YOU KNOW. WOW, WOW. HE'S GOT SOME TIME OFF. NOW THAT HE'S OBVIOUSLY NOT TRAINING. AND FOR A GUY WHO DOESN'T REALLY LIKE THE MEDIA, HE'S DOING PRETTY WELL AT PUTTING HIMSELF INTO THE MEDIA.
