-- Asking Bill Belichick for a selfie at a press conference is guaranteed to not end well.
That's what Media Night on Monday was for.
But one Boston radio host missed the memo on the difference between Monday and Tuesday and asked Bill Belichick to take a selfie with him during his Super Bowl press conference on Tuesday.

It would not be OK.
"Yeah. Yeah, we'll get that later, all right?," Belichick replied, to which Parziale said, "Maybe if I just got in front of the podium and you waved?"
Cringeworthy.
