FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Let Jimmy Johnson have “Survivor: Nicaragua.” His buddy Bill Belichick prefers to compete in Foxborough against his foes.
The coach of the New England Patriots admires Johnson for giving up the comforts of home for the deprivations of his stay in Central America as one of 20 castaways on the CBS reality show. Belichick said Wednesday he doesn’t think he can handle that.
The show was recorded for about a month this summer and begins airing on Sept. 15.
Belichick has known Johnson, the former coach of the Dallas Cowboys and Miami Dolphins, for decades. They’ve fished together and exchanged thoughts on coaching. They also faced each other in Belichick’s first game as a head coach on Sept. 1, 1991, Dallas’ 26-14 win over the Cleveland Browns.
