Nine out of 10 doctors agree that Bill Belichick is missing the amygdala, the part of the brain responsible for emotion and processing emotional reactions.

Throughout his 17-year head coaching tenure with the Patriots, the coaching guru has uttered a total of 239 words in his interviews, not including scoffs, grunts, and mumbles. His stoicism and down-to-business attitude likely contributes to his unparalleled success. He doesn’t care if you single-handedly won him a Super Bowl by intercepting a pass at the goal line, he will bench you in future Super Bowls without explanation.
He is, by many metrics, a robot.
