Friendship between Belichick, Moss highlights 'A Football Life'

Now enmeshed in our planet's collective consciousness: Randy Moss dolled up as SpongeBob SquarePants -- roller skating with Bill Belichick in pirate gear.

More from 'A Football Life'

Thursday night's airing of Part 2 of "A Football Life" provides an intimate look into the bond between Moss and Belichick, who spent three-plus seasons together before the wideout was shipped to the Vikings last season. 

In a Fellini-esque sequence, we witness an awkward meeting in which Moss, seated in Belichick's office, convinces the coach to attend the team's Halloween bash.

"From a team standpoint, we're trying to have a Halloween party," says Moss. "So -- you're not interested in that, are you?"

"In what?"

"... Halloween party?"

"Can I come dressed as the devil?" Belichick asks.

"... Ay! You might win the damn prize," Moss says. "We're trying to get us a little DJ, get us a roller rink, have us a good night."

Things only become more surreal from here, as an eye-patched, outrageously goateed Belichick arrives at the rink in full-on pirate garb, greeted by SpongeMoss and various other Pats players dressed absurdly, including Vince Wilfork as Fred Flintstone.

This would have been the optimum night for Rex Ryan and his Jets to cross their version of the Delaware and put this team down, but the party proceeds uninterrupted.

"I was hoping nobody recognized me," Belichick told reporters Friday of the costume.

Part 1 of "A Football Life" re-airs Friday night at 6 p.m. ET on NFL Network. Part 2 re-airs at 7 p.m. ET.
