New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick, as sports fans know him, is all about football — all of the time.
Don’t put him in a box. He has other interests, too! Apparently, he’s also a sandwich influencer, not on SnapFace or InstaChat, but the good ol’ television.
Belichick was caught Tuesday appearing on the film set of what looked like a Subway commercial, according to WTNH’s John Pierson.

There was the no-nonsense Belichick, dressed in a polo and khakis, slamming a $5 footlong on a park bench as cameras rolled.
What excellent imagery of the usually stoic football coach. Some football fans saw similarities to Forrest Gump sitting on a bench. Others went straight to Happy Gilmore’s Subway endorsement in the Adam Sandler film.
Most everyone was endeared that Belichick would take precious time away from his job leading the Patriots in the post-Tom Brady era to film a commercial for a national sandwich chain.
Let’s go to the Twitter machine for more instant analysis:

Q: So Bill, how'd you like the sandwich?
BB: Yeah … I don't know. Look, every sandwich is different. Bread, meat, lettuce, some other vegetable combination. I'm not saying it was bad, I'm not saying that. But it was what it was. And I'm on to the next.https://t.co/hrsg55WLm7 pic.twitter.com/QL1SOMwRFW

Subway is using Bill Belichick in commercials. They’ve also changed their slogan to: “Subs. Nothing new, they’re what you expect.” #Patriots pic.twitter.com/HcP1c0qjZM

Director: “Can you look like you’re enjoying it a little more”
Belichick: “No”
