By Dana Gerber, The Boston Globe
Sportscaster Dale Arnold got Pats Nation buzzing when he tweeted a screengrab of Belichick during the exhibition game against the Washington Football Team Thursday night. In the image, Belichick wore some sort of ring on his left hand wedding-ring finger.
Bill Belichick, longtime coach of the Patriots, may have added another ring to his collection — but this time, it’s not the Super Bowl kind. here
Arnold wasn’t the first Belichick watcher to wonder if he tied the knot with longtime partner, Linda Holliday. Various photos of Belichick posted by sports aficionados have shown him wearing a ring on his left hand at least since May. In some of the photos, he looks to have a bracelet to match. here
Belichick has been in a relationship with Linda Holliday for over a decade now. But there hasn’t been any big news that the two were close to tying the knot.
Belichick has been married before. He was married to Debby Clarke from 1977 until 2006 and has three children.
“He’s married to cam (Newton),” wrote another. here
“Thank you. I thought I was the only one that was puzzled. Did he really put a ring on Linda!?” one fan asked. here
“I think Tom said it well a long time ago,” Belichick said. “Which Super Bowl ring do you like the most? The next one.” here
The legendary New England Patriots head coach on Saturday made a comment about his six Super Bowl rings and gave his quarterback credit when talking about which one he liked the most. here

Favorite Super Bowl ring of Bill Belichick may be the most difficult to get.
Bill Belichick took a line from Tom Brady last week.
"At the same time, I am aware that this gentleman (Kraft) is feeling such a horrible pain about the 2005 loss," Peskov said. "The president will be ready to send him another ring as a gift, which he (Putin) can buy with his own money." here

A glittering, $25,000 Super Bowl ring is sitting in the Kremlin's library, but does it belong there?
Patriots owner Robert Kraft and Russian President Valdimir Putin are in an awkward argument about eight years after Kraft met up with the Russian president while visiting St. Petersburg. Kraft said he showed him his XXXIX victory ring -- and that's when the stories diverge.
Unlike all the other coaches there, Bill is wearing a visor that kindly reminds everyone attending the Senior Bowl practices how many rings the future Hall of Fame head coach has earned in his career in the NFL.
According to Matt Lombardo of NJ.com, Belichick was seen wearing a visor at Senior Bowl week that says "8 rings" on it.
This week marks an opportunity for NFL coaches and scouts to head down to Mobile, AL for college football's Senior Bowl, which will showcase some of the NCAA's most talented football players. Bill Belichick, Steve Belichick, and Jerod Mayo were reportedly some of the coaches from the New England Patriots that are down at the Senior Bowl workouts this week.
It's fitting, seeing that his boat is also called the same thing. With six championships under his belt as the head coach of the Patriots and another two as the defensive coordinator for the Giants, Belichick has one of the most decorated resumes we've seen from a coach in league history. Because of his success over the past three decades, he deserves to show off his dominance in the sport. more
