Bill Belichick doesn't care what goes on at Gillette Stadium while the New England Patriots aren't there.

The Patriots head coach was asked Wednesday about the NHL Winter Classic at Gillette and if it posed any challenges due to the fact that New England had to play its final two games on the road because of it. But Belichick isn't at all concerned about hockey right now.

"Whenever the games are scheduled that's when we play them," Belichick said via conference call. "We've got eight at home, we've got eight away, just like any other team. Every time we have a long week we have a short week. Every time we have a short week we have a long week. I'm just trying to coach the football team. That's my job. I don't really worry about all the rest of it. Whatever it is we deal with."

Belichick even got a little testy when he was asked if he got any say in Robert Kraft's bid to host the game between the Boston Bruins and Montreal Canadiens.

"Look, I just coach the football team," Belichick said. "That's what I do. All the rest of it is not anything that's pertinent to this conversation or any other one publicly."

It sounds like Belichick is on to Sun Life Stadium.
