Belichick not going anywhere

Hey all --

For the past couple of years, Bill Belichick's contract status has been as closely guarded as the so-called nuclear football.

But with the coach under fire and whispers that his videotaping episode might lead to his departure from New England, somehow the organization's best-kept secret has been leaked.

espn.com's Michael Smith reports that Belichick's contract with the Patriots has been extended through 2013. It is unclear, Smith writes, how long the extension is and when Belichick's previous contract was set to expire.

It's a savvy p.r. move for the team to let this information get out; this week, the N.Y. Post wrote that team owner Robert Kraft felt the spying charge was "the last straw."

So it's six more years of the hoodie...
