INDIANAPOLIS — New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick is famous for his attention to detail.
But practicing halftime?

That’s exactly what Belichick did Wednesday with his team. Normal NFL halftimes last 12 minutes. At the Super Bowl on Sunday, while Madonna
entertains a worldwide audience, the break will be 30 minutes.

And Belichick wants to make sure his players are prepared.

No crime to be Patriots' fan
