Brady doesn't appreciate being asked about trainer-Belichick rift
New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady lost his cool Friday when a member of the media prodded him about the reported dispute between his personal trainer Alex Guerrero and head coach Bill Belichick, who's allegedly banned Guerrero from the locker room and sidelines.

After Brady was asked how he reacted to the news from Belichick, he replied, "I don't really agree with your question, so I don't know what you're talking about. How do you know what he said?"
When the reporter followed up by asking whether or not Brady was refuting the report, the quarterback cut him off.
"I'm not saying anything," Brady said. "How do you say that (Belichick) said anything? You don't know anything about that. ... I have a lot of conversations with him (Belichick). Those are private between he and I. I don't think anyone knows what we talk about, or I've never (told anyone) and he's never talked about it."

Guerrero is also a business associate of Brady's and is credited for the quarterback's conditioning, which has helped the 40-year-old maintain his elite level of play. When asked if a possible rift between his longtime trainer and Belichick has strained his relationship with his head coach, Brady said it wasn't relevant.
"No, I just try to do the right thing and try to win football games," Brady said, according to NESN's Doug Kyed. "I let my play do the talking. I try to go out there and try to prepare hard every week and I put everything into it. That's where my focus is, and it’s not much beyond that."
