Belichick look-alike gets booed at Grizzlies game
A Bill Belichick look-alike received a cold reception from fans at Wednesday night's Memphis Grizzlies-Milwaukee Bucks game at FedEx Forum.
The doppelganger - wearing the New England Patriots head coach's signature cut-off hoodie - was shown on the jumbotron immediately after former NFL quarterback Peyton Manning, according to The Ringer's Chris Vernon.

Manning, who played college football at Tennessee, got applause from the crowd. The fake Belichick, however, was booed, according to Sharon Brown of the Grizzlies blog All Heart in Hoop City.
