NFL fans and reporters alike know what it’s like to be trapped in the vortex that is a Bill Belichick sideline interview.
The normally surly Super Bowl winning head coach has been known to chew up and spit out even the most veteran of sideline reporters, even while his team is eviscerating the competition.
It didn’t matter if his Patriots were up by 100 or down by 50, The Hoodie was a man of few words whenever a microphone was shoved in his face.
BILL BELICHICK FINALLY PROVIDES UNC WITH A PULSE, BUT NOW HE HAS TO EARN THAT $10 MILLION PAYCHECK
It’s nice to see not much has changed in that regard, as Chapel Bill has made his way to the college ranks with his same trademark snark in tow.
Today’s unlucky contestant in the “Bill Belichick Sideline Interview Sweepstakes” is none other than Stormy Buonantony, who was tasked with asking the Tar Heels head coach all the banal football questions he hates to answer.

The whole exchange lasted less than 20 seconds, so see if you have the attention span to sit through this back and forth.

Louis Riddick, who played for Belichick during his days in the NFL, said that his former coach was “locked in,” and that he’s seen that side of him before.
Yeah, so have a bunch of traumatized sideline reporters.
To her credit, Buonantony rolled with the punches and laughed it off with her colleagues after the fact.
“I’m fine,” she revealed. “I made it out alive, guys.”
If Stormy needs a support group, though, I’m sure there are a few dozen beat writers in the greater New England area that would love to offer up some words of encouragement.
