The Patriots brought goats to practice to celebrate Tom Brady's 40th birthday
Bill Belichick is known for his stern looks, cold answers, and cut sleeves, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that he met a reporter's question about Tom Brady's 40th birthday with little fanfare.

But as it turns out, the Patriots did plan a small party to celebrate Brady's 40th — and invited five baby goats to practice on Thursday. Not surprisingly, fans were delighted.
