What's a woobie?

Mike Vrabel was asked about Bill Belichick's now-iconic grey hooded sweatshirt today, and offered...

"That is his little 'woobie.' That's his little security blanket. He has got that pouch and he keeps all his stuff in it. You would like to see what's inside that pouch, I bet."

We googled 'woobie' and found a website dedicated to Golden Retrievers that defines it as: "a beloved object, often carried in the mouth for extended periods of time; constant companion, sometimes revered and sometimes abused."

Given that Belichick is so frequently sporting the grey hoodie, its sleeves cut to his elbows, the definition seems to fit.

For the record, the coach was wearing a blue pullover Pats' shirt, jeans and sandals today.
