Boston Statues Get Belichick'd

To promote tomorrow night's debut of "Bill Belichick: A Football Life" series, NFL Network will put Patriots hoodies, similar to the one worn by Patriots coach, on five iconic statues in Boston.

According to the Boston Globe, among the figures to be Belichick'd:
"Mayor James Michael Curley, whose iron-fisted rule presaged Belichick’s reign over the Pats; Christopher Columbus, who led Europeans to the New World, as Belichick would lead New England to the Super Bowl; John Singleton Copley, a leading Colonial artist, whose skilled brushwork evokes Belichick’s pinpoint play-calling."

The hoodie will also appear on the tortoise and hare statues in Copley Square.

Dena Kaplan, NFL Network’s senior vice president of marketing, said the city helped identify iconic figures for the iconic garb.

The NFL Network series is an intimate look at Belichick, who was the first person ever wired for an entire season by NFL Films. Check out a sneak peek here.
