On Tuesday, Bill Belichick showed up to a press conference with a mysterious black eye. Even though he made a couple dry jokes about the injury, he never gave an explanation for what happened.
Bill Belichick really doesn’t feel like talking about how he got a black eye

Belichick strolled thru the locker room with a pair of boxing gloves in his hands. I am not joking. Repeat. Not joking
— Michael Giardi (@MikeGiardi) January 13, 2016 Bill Belichick just walked through the locker room carrying ... a pair of boxing gloves.
— Phil Perry (@PhilAPerry) January 13, 2016 On Thursday, however, it became apparent that Belichick really didn’t want to discuss his eye anymore when he responded to a reporter’s question with a terse statement:
Reporter: “How’s your eye feeling? How did you hurt it?”
Belichick: “Great.”
Reporter: “Better?”
Belichick: “...”
There’s still no explanation for the black eye, but at least it’s getting better.
