What was even more interesting was that it was Patriots coach Bill Belichick, the king of cool, who entered the verbal-tirade dance floor with him.
The Detroit Lakes native tackled that issue postgame Sunday, as his teammates also chimed in about where they thought things went wrong and how the team can improve from the 24-10 loss it suffered to the Patriots.
