Bill Belichick gives a big middle finger to Tebowmania

It's not often that a third string quarterback will get this much attention, but when it's Tim Tebow, you have to expect that will be the case.
The media reported that outlets such as CNN were even in attendance for this presser and that there were traffic jams getting into the parking lot. Belichick was scheduled to have the presser before the Tebow signing anyway. Beat reporters estimated there were 50 reporters and 15 cameras at the presser, way over what would normally be there for a minicamp press conference.
Apparently, when Bill Belichick walked in and saw the big crowd he instantly laughed. He then proceeded to wave his middle fingers at the ensuing onslaught of Tim Tebow questions (figuratively of course).
The coach was asked question after question on Tim Tebow and repeatedly gave one to three word answers that revealed nothing. Here's a sampling of the things we didn't learn about Tebow as a Patriot.
General Tebow Thoughts:
"Anything we do is what we think is in the best interest for his team" - heard that one before?
"We'll see how it goes"
What position will Tebow play?
""What position? We’re going to do what’s best for our football team.”
Will Tebow play defense or special teams?
"I don't know"
On Tebow the player:
“He’s a talented player who’s smart and works hard.”
On Josh McDaniels influence:
"I don't know"
Eventually Belichick just said he's talked enough about Tebow and said they had other players on the roster. He gave some non-statements on Dennard and Gronk, confirmed that there was 100% attendance at minicamp and then he was assaulted with more Tebow questions. At which point he just stopped he press conference and walked away.
Classic Bill.
