Bill Belichick is driven past a waiting press corps by Patriots’ owner Robert Kraft in this 1997 photo. Does it look like a still from the movie The Godfather? The reason I snapped this photo, I think, was to provide Herald coverage after the Pat’s lost the Superbowl. With me, from top left, New England Patriots PR good-guy Stacy James, the Boston Herald’s Michael Felger, Gary Gillis and several other sports media types.
Like it or not, our star QB now has star power that reaches past the football field and toward the glitzy lights of Hollywood. That said, he still found some time yesterday to do some good while thrilling school children at Henry Grew Elementary in the Hyde Park section of Boston. He and a few other Patriots, along with owner Robert Kraft, presented a cheque to the school in honor of the school being named an NFL “Play 60” school. My photo sequence below shows a student, Noel Jiminez, who approached the podium and asked a question. Brady looked at the boy’s hair and said: “Doesn’t this kid have a great head of hair?” Brady then took off his cap and shook out his own mane. Here is the Boston Herald’s Inside Track story and here are more of my photos from yesterday’s fun.
