It was recently revealed on 98.5 The Sports Hub that Bedard once attempted to get a job with the Patriots, and he was mocked in the building for it. Bedard, however, explained that while he did lobby for a position with the Patriots and Bill Belichick back in 2017, it was out of desperation after\u00a0being laid off\u00a0from\u00a0<em>SI<\/em>\u00a0and struggling to land a job with another media outlet.<\/p>\n<p>Bedard said he even received a phone call from Belichick, who declined his request for work, explaining that he can\u2019t hire a media member for a position within the team. But Bedard also told a story about his relationship with Belichick, built on respect rather than mockery, which helped explain why he may have felt comfortable asking the Patriots head coach for a job.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qZ-icD2h0aA?si=RGSl1YN2IM6OrH8U&amp;start=1300\" width=\"760\" height=\"430\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-1\">\n<div id=\"Awfulannouncing_incontent_article_1\" align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __320x100\" data-google-query-id=\"CMDmwqGNzpQDFbxDwgUdhUUAtg\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/15184186,129947727\/Awfulannouncing_incontent_article_1_0__container__\">\n<div class=\"__fs-ancillary\">\n<div class=\"__fs-branding\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>In 2013, while working for\u00a0<em>The Boston Globe<\/em>\u00a0and mulling an offer from Peter King to join\u00a0<em>Sports Illustrated<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<em>The MMQB<\/em>, Bedard asked Belichick for advice about the career decision.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe said, \u2018Greg, I think you\u2019ve done a great job,\u2019\u201d Bedard remembered. \u201c\u2019There\u2019s been a lot of stuff that you write about us where we thought you had a mole in the building because it was right in line with how we were talking about the team and certain players.
